How to make links open in a new tab in Edge Chromium

Actually, yes...  I'm using Edge and, after some added extensions, I'm fairly happy. EXCEPT -- when I clicked a link as in an email, the link did NOT open a new tab in Edge. [I don't want to Ctrl+click or anything like that!]

I stumbled onto the solution -- for me at least. I use Google as my search engine. If you look at Google search settings [Search Settings (google.com)], you will find option: 

Where results open Open each selected result in a new browser window  [Y/N]

>>>>>>     Set to Yes and clicked links open in new tab.     <======

Couple that with "Switch to New Tab" extension and life -- and Edge -- are good!!!

Let me see if I can give you an example of what all these people are talking about that you seem to be missing.

The link below is to the Microsoft home page.  What we want to happen is what happens in most other browsers.  When you click on the link, it should open a new tab and also go to the Microsoft home page.

Link to Microsoft home page.

Actually, that action is not tied to a specific browser. It is tied to the HTML design of the page.

I think you picked a bad example. That link looks like this in the page markup in Edge 89.0.774.63:

<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow" class="">Link to Microsoft home page</a> 

target="_blank" means 'open in new window,' which in a tabbed browser like Edge means 'open in a new tab.' When I click on that link, the page opens in a new tab. 

Right-click on your link and select Inspect to see the underlying HTML.

Hi FELIX. You are RIGHT. Not a good example at all. It is simple:

Do a search on Edge, click (NOT RIGHT CLICK) on any result of the search and the result of the search IS GONE.

NO, NO NO. I want to see it in a new tab and be able to pick another result.

No, I don't want to Right-Click, I always forget.

That issue made me come back to Google Chrome. - It seems to be that there is NO solution.
