I don't see this option available in the current Dev build either. However, it's there in Canary Version 112.0.1671.0. So, as it stands, the feature should be included in the next major Dev build.

Yes!  Please bring this switch back!!!  It drives me crazy to always have to remember to right-click first and select Open in New Tab.

    Just press 'ctrl' key on keyboard before clicking any link/favorite.

      LOL, we want the SETTING, as most browsers have, and haven't had an issue with, some for 20+ Years that I've been using previously, aka Maxthon

      And again of course, the Setting is GONE yet again, and of course it's STILL not been put on my WORK browser, and I can't set the below workaround on it. The absolute incompetence of those who work at Microsoft.

      Don't get me started on Windows 11 Start Menu, literally UNUSABLE for power users, the junk useless Explorer Menu Ribbon, the missing functionality of the Taskbar, how we like to show our Windows, Right Click Menu issues, etc.

      Anway, the "workaround" here works still.... Put this at the end of the Target Field when you right click Properties on the Edge Shortcut Link.

        Microsofts Incompetence on this and SOOOO many other things just astounds me....
        Just updated my Win11 Laptop, and this feature STILL isn't in Settings.

        STILL have to add the stupid workaround!!! 😞

        Oh, and guess what, now I can't get the Workaround to WORK.
        Shutdown processes also, but it STILL won't work...  I truly HATE Microsoft.

         

        UPDATE: Okay, so for those who are having a problem with the Workaround now even when closing all the processes, it appears the "fix" is to either use Edge Beta, and the workaround appears to work, or Disable in SETTINGS "Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed"

        This also removes an Edge Icon in the bottom right area of the Taskbar.

         

        So, when I did this All Process FINALLY actually CLOSE when closing the browser as they should.

        Anyway, what's so far worked for me....  What a friggen nightmare trying to troubleshoot this to get it working again.  😞

        Again I HATE Microsoft, their incompetence knows no bounds.

         

        And to further complain... STILL want my Win10 Start Menu and Explorer Menu Bar back....  We should at least be given these "options" in Windows Pro.....  But noooooo, can't actually have Pro features in the Pro version of Windows.  FYI, I have over 100 Programs, all Organized, Sized and Grouped how I like in Win10.  11's Start Menu is literally UNUSABLE...for me!!!!!  😞
