Windows 10: Stop edge from opening new tabs from search links?

Chrome does not do that. Problem is, you do a search, and click on a search link, it opens a new tab, and leaves the bing seach tab open. And after a while, you can have very many Bing search tabs open - - - Updated - - - In the left pane, click on the Pop-ups and Redirects option. STEP 4 does not exist for me.

Edge not opening links in new tab

Hello. I was using Edge over the last couple of months or so and had no problems with it. However, just recently (last couple of weeks) Edge has started to behave very differently indeed.

First off, when I click on a link on Edge's home page (news, sport, etc) it opens the link in a completely new window, rather than a new tab, which is what it was doing before. I haven't changed any settings that I can think of, so why all of a sudden has
this started happening? It's annoying. How can I get it back to opening links in a new tab?

Secondly, Edge's start page keeps getting stuck in this infinite loop, where the page just refreshes over and over again. It's like someone is leaning on the F5 key. The only way to stop it from happening is to close it down and open it again. Why is this
happening?

Edge was quite cool at first but is rapidly becoming an annoyance. It wastes so much of my time. Please, can someone offer any suggestions that can help me with these problems?

Thanks.

 

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.

 

Edge new tab

Hi Niranjan,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did not see a direct answer in your response to Pat's question:

"How can I set new tab in Edge to google.co.uk".



Please rephrase your answer so an old computer dinosaur could understand it.



I believe Pat was asking how to have each “new tab” open to a specific web page; in his case to google.co.uk.



When I open a new tab:

• I DON'T want ‘"suggested content” which is like a MSN page with weather, news, and featured apps from Windows Store.’
• I DON'T want a “Blank page”
• I Do want the Google search page: google.com

Admittedly, I’m new to Windows 10 and Windows Edge but it appears to me that Microsoft is making it very difficult (or impossible) to use non-Microsoft search engines
or default to non-Microsoft web pages.



Hope you can dispel my concerns.



Thanks, Jack
