Hi, does anyone know how to make links clicked open in a new tab, rather than in the existing tab, in the new Microsoft Edge Chromium, please?

    sorry - not using google stuff on my Edge internet.  not even sure how - I'm tech-challenged folks.  I found it easier to just RETRAIN myself to right click my mouse and hit the "open in a new tab" option on the drop down menu.  if Edge ever figures out how to do this simple task that we can make into a  default task, I'd like to know -but then I have to retrain myself to stop right clicking the mouse!  LOL

    Sorry, I completely misunderstood. By this extension, if you right-click and select open in a new tab, it gets focus. Let me check if there is an extension available for that.

    No, this doesn't do it, I have tried it already. Thank you anyway.

    I have found out what the issue is, in the meantime. Microsoft Edge will by default open the page in a new tab, actually, as long as the application whose link is clicked is in the same virtual desktop. It is only when the application (e.g., e-mail reader) is in a different virtual desktop that a new browser window will be spawned -- in that very same virtual desktop. So it is actually not an issue with Microsoft Edge, but rather with Task View.

    Hi all,

    Although not supported natively, you can use this extension.

    That was a strange answer. I was looking for an option (choice) to select more than 10 visible search links as in Google. 

    They have also a new tab when selecting a link.
