Microsoft Edge Question (Vanity)

Posted on 05/13/2017 8:05:14 AM PDT by savedbygrace

In Microsoft Edge, if I right-click on a link, and select Open in New Tab, I want Edge to go to that new tab.

Is there a setting that will change its behavior, so it does what I want it to do?

Switch to Linux (Zorin is what I use) and kiss all your Windoze troubles goodbye.

By the way; Firefox is way better than anything MS has for browsing that records everything you do and where you go.

With all the Windoze systems getting hacked; it’s a good time to think about loading the free Linux OS on your existing Windows system so you can dual boot (you choose which OS to use).

It must be so difficult to move that mouse all the way over to the new tab!

The Linux bigots are slow today. It took until the third post for one to tell you to switch.

there is a setting you can change too=- at least there is in regular ie- you can have each link open in new tab- not sure exactly where the new tab option is located in setting though- i use firefox now with linux- so don’t recall the settings location for ie- but it’s htere soemwhere- no need to shift click links- I think htere is also an option to ‘switch to new tab immediately’ when a link/new tab is opened’ too-

If there is a setting in Edge to do this, I would love to know where and how.

With MS there’s ALWAYS a keyboard shortcut. Sure beats the touchpad, just have to learn them.

Don’t have a 3 button mouse. But Control-Shift is OK for now.
