    I see no such browser extension in the extensions list ?

    The closest I get is the "Tab to tab" extension, but it is based on a double click.

    Did you check Edge and Chrome extensions?

    If you still don’t find one, if you know how, make your own, or ask someone who knows how to make you one. It would just have to change the destination of all non-javascript links to a randomly generated tab name for that URL, assigning all your tabs a tab name, so that if you opened something yourself, you wouldn’t get a duplicate. It just couldn’t redirect links to sections within a page. It would, for reference, only need to read and edit all webpages and possibly store data on your device to record your preferences. Nothing else should be accessed. Nothing. For security.

    Hold the Ctrl key when you click a link.

    Hello.  Yes, that places the chosen link into a new tab, but the user still has to manually select the new tab in order to move from existing tab to new tab.  Firefox is able to automatically switch the user over to the new tab after clicking on the chosen link with no problems whatsoever.  That is what I've bee looking for in Edge.

    Use a browser extension or bookmarklet to insert code to add or edit the base element to have target be _blank. Then, even forms will submit in new tabs.

    Go to this page (links to the new tab page for the browser, which is a major XSS vulnerability) and type "edge://settings". Then, navigate to the Extensions section and find one in the extension store that does that.
