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.
