I get a new tab everytime I click on a link, which is a pain as closing the link is not working well.

Microsoft Edge | Other | MacOS

    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
