I get a new tab everytime I click on a link, which is a pain as closing the link is not working well.

Hi I've found how to solve this issue

the problem is from Bing (the search engine) not Edge (Browser)

  1. Search Something on Bing
  2. Tap the 3-dash button setting on the upper right corner
  3. open safety search
  4. in safety search, turn off open new tab after link click
  5. make sure you save the setting

    These steps did not work for me. Still the same problem. Another issue: following two checkboxes gets turned on again after you close and re-open the browser.

    Open links from search results in a new tab or window Open links from news results in a new tab or window

    This only works for me as long as i have the browser open. If i close and reopen the browser the settings are undone.
