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

    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

    It is search engine problem. Try this to fix it

    1. Go to www.bing.com
    2. Click on hamburger menu at top right corner > Safe Search > Results section
    3. undo both the options under results section that goes as below
      Open links from search results in a new tab or window

    Open links from news results in a new tab or window

    1. Save then close and open the browser, now every link will open in same tab
