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

    fix the ***** browser! and maybe people will start to use it!! if we want to open stuff in new tab we'd middle click with scroll wheel!!!!! get the basic functionality right before adding a ton of features.

    Thank you
