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.
Managing tabs, address bar, and search settings in Edge on Windows 10

I don't have that option under Customise Browser or anything under Appearance. I have Windows 11 Home Insider Preview version 22H2.
I GIVE UP!!! I'm going back to Chrome. Because Edge opens window after window all by itself it is dangerous. A couple of days ago I was trying to ask a question on my bank's web page and a dialog box opens up with a chat window that I thought was from my bank. It wasn't, and I got shuttled over to a site called "JustAnswers". I was stupid enough to give them my bank card number... I have gotten back all charges from that site, but felt compelled to replace my bank card. This is all on Microsoft. FU Microsoft Edge. No more.
You need to keep on deleting browsing history, because this stupid behavior of opening new tabs when a link is clicked will come back after you've visited a few websites. THIS IS SO STUPID!!!!
I'm on a Mac, that's probably the reason I have it and you don't.
This did not help. This only stopped the problem from occurring from the Bing search page. From any other website, clicking a link automatically opens a new tab. How do we stop this?
