Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
This feature is not enabled by default even on canary 112.0.1683.0 and it is enabled by the Experimentation and Configuration Service(ECS). Those who received enablement configuration from MS server can use this feature.
To enable it manually, add command-line option "--enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting" to the shortcut.
This literally worked.... Thanks for this.
For those who want to know how this works in Canary, just:
- Right Click on Carnary EXE Shortcut, go to Properties
- Go to Shortcut Tab, should be selected already.
- Put this in the Target field...
"C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" "--enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting"
Of course the above UserName will be yours.
Start the browser, and the Selection option will be there in Settings under Appearance, already selected.leeuniverse
That's the long way around to add that line........ You only need to do a couple right clicks and add that line and your done....... go here and here and here is the long way.....
Right click the shortcut, right click the "microsoft edge canary/or what ever version name" your using, select properties add that line without the " s, to the end of the line in the tab "shortcut" and in the line that says "target" add that line to the end of it and your done..... if your browser is open, close it then restart it. Now your good to go...
Dennis5mile- Dennis5mile,
At the current time I must be having a extremely bad senior moment, along with me having the pressing thought of my upcoming cardiologist appointment on tues. 03/07 due to the fact I suppose of my recent echocardiogram that the preliminary result came back labeled as abnormal. So with that being stated, could you PLEASE elaborate as to exactly add to the shortcut line in the properties area of the current version of edge I'm using (Version 111.0.1661.27 (Official build) dev (64-bit). Thanks in advance if you decide to respond back to me, like other users have stated, I'm just hoping that the edge browser doesn't continue to become more and more bloated with items that people really don't want.

- For now I just right click on the favorite I want to open and then click on open in new tab, Just an extra click so no big deal but yeah definitely we do need a feature to directly open in new tab with left click
Captaindead159 "right click/open in new tab"
Or, you can middle click if your mouse has a middle button or wheel button.
Single click, done - no context menu selection needed.
The only inconvenience is you have to remember to click the middle button instead of the left button.
You're welcome. 😉
atlanto Cheers for that. But how can I do that on a Mac? I'm new to macs and have no idea where to start,
I stand by my earlier comment though, it's ridiculous that this option isn't available as standard.
