How to open google ad on new tab?

Question

Whenever a visitor clicks a Google Ad on the site, the Ad opens in the same page, replacing my site, and I will lose the visitor.

Can we do something so that whenever a site visitor clicks on a Google Ad, it will open in a new tab? Is there any script that needs to be changed? I tried a target="_blank" but it is also not working.
