Javascript function works in all browsers except Edge

This function doesn't open links in a new window in Edge. Works in all other browsers. Not sure what the problem is:

function externalLinks() {
  for (var c = document.getElementsByTagName("a"), a = 0; a < c.length; a++) {
    var b = c[a];
    b.getAttribute("href") && b.hostname !== location.hostname &&
      (b.target = "_blank")
  }
};
externalLinks();

Change

b.hostname !== location.hostname

to

(b.hostname || b.href.hostname) !== location.hostname

Modern browsers have the properties of the href in the anchor element. If it's not there, this will try to access it from the href property.
