How do you stop edge from opening a new tab every time you click a link???

Search for a general subject, like "fish".

When you have accessed the page from a Bing search, you will see the Bing search bar at top of the site you accessed. Below it is a horizontal list of options including IMAGES VIDEOS MAPS NEWS SHOPPING MORE and TOOLS.

Click on the TOOLS link and you'll see "Open links in a new tab". Click the toggle switch to TURN IT OFF!

FIXED!!

Hi Van,

I have done the above and saved the settings and my browser is STILL opening a new tab whenever I click on a link. Whilst your instructions are clear and easy to follow, they have not solved the problem I still seemed to have. I have RESET my ENTIRE browser and restarted my laptop, and the problem still persists.

I think there needs to be a deeper conversation here. There are DOZENS of videos out there using the same advice and NONE of them have solved my issue. Either I am doing something wrong or I am stupid or the advice is missing a step.

Please advise on what I could possible do further, short of deactivating Edge and using Chrome.

This worked for me. Thanks Donald..

i know how to turn it off search something on Bing and then in the bar where you choose between images and videos click tools and there it is turn off open links in new tab

ANY UPDATE?

Yes! The latest update fixed the problem for me
