    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.

    It's annoying having to use a special key combination or right-click menu choice for something we want 99.9% of the time. I sent feedback to the Edge developer team requesting an option to make left click open in a new tab by default and let Ctrl-Left click open in the active tab instead. I suggest others do the same using the Send feedback button on the toolbar.

    Hi,

    I'll further confuse the issue, I've been reading this thread and see that many people have this question so I'm not completely nuts after all. I've been using  MSN and  New Tab page as home pages to start. When starting with MSN, clicking on a link opens in the SAME TAB. If starting with a new tab page, clicking a link opens a NEW TAB. EXACTLY what we want.  Both MSN and the new tab page are Microsoft  products, so it can be done.  I would guess that when the wizards created Edge, they overlooked this tiny detail. There should be a setting to change the default behavior of new tabs. Perhaps they will fix it some day. For now it's a PITA.
