    Hello,

    I can not find a solution to this and I was hoping someone would know the answer. I have users in my company that are complaining about a URL link opening in the same tab. This causes what they were working on to be erased.

    Let me provide more detail:
    These users are using a call system in order to input tickets. If they do not finish the ticket and a new call comes in, a new ticket will pop up deleting their old ticket they were working on.

    I have suggested they finish the ticket before taking a new call. I have also suggested that they keep notes outside of the ticket system, but they are determined to change the browser setting like we did in IE. (I even suggested getting the call manager provider on the phone) ... They really want to change the way Microsoft Edge handles opening a new website.

    Does anyone know how to change these settings like we were able to in IE?

    Thank you.
    Mike.

    :)

    How To Force Open Link In Same Tab In Google Chrome

    Well perhaps a tab manager would allow you to easily identify and close unwanted tabs as well as providing a list of open tabs that you can click to open. Plus import or export tab lists so that you don't loose them. Anyway that was my line of thinking.

    Everywhere I look - it seems that there is no way to override external link handling in Chrome by design.

    One thing you can do is use this extension:

    Open Link in Same Tab - Chrome Web Store

    It does open external links in the same tab but requires a right click to choose option from context menu.

    Edge not opening links in new tab

    Both suggestions just open the link in a new window.

    The only way I can open a link in a new tab is by right-clicking on the link and selecting the option, but I never had to do this before. It's only recently that Edge has started doing this. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

    I prefer my links to open in a new tab; there's very little point in opening them in a whole new window as things soon get messy.

    Thanks.

    How To Force Open Link In Same Tab In Google Chrome

    Maybe Chrome doesn't have that option then. I'm using Vivaldi (Chrome variant) and extensions should work the same.

    Maybe take a look at tab stacking & tiling in Vivaldi? Here's a stack of four tabs with tiles.

    So basically stack the tabs you want to keep and close the rest using a single click.
