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

Anonymous

Microsoft made disabling this feature such a chore, and navigating settings didn't help one bit. I figured I'd ask on the forums before ditching edge all together.

I hate Bing and won't use it for anything.

Hi,

for me it was the "Safe Search" settings on the bing website.

If you go on bing.com, click on the three stripes on the top right corner and select SafeSearch you will be redirected to a SafeSearch settings inside bing. Now, you scroll down and uncheck the two boxes at the bottom named:

"Open links from search results in new tab or window"

and

"Open links from new results in new tab or window"

That solved it for me, hope it helps you!
