Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
BTW, if they are adding it, it should open a New Tab, but SHOULD NOT if the New Page/Start Page is the one that's opened. This Tab SHOULD be "replaced" when opening a Favorite.

Really, this missing feature prevents you from using the browser? WOW!Dennis5mile

Dennis5mile If MS rewards wasn't so well integrated into Edge I'd stop using it as well because of this missing feature. It took me ages to get used to it being missing after switching from Firefox, then as I get used to it when it was added, they go and take it away again,
It's a basic feature that has been in other browsers for years, yet MS still seems unable to add it permanently. - leeuniverseMar 04, 2023Brass Contributor
Yep, it and a couple of others....
There have just been other browsers that have paid attention to little conveniences like this, so I've been using them instead.
For example, other than Chrome being a resource hog, I never used Chrome because they refused to add "Double-Click" to close tab, drag and drop text Search / Link Open, etc.
I've used Maxthon and 360Chrome for the last near 25 years.... Maxthon was actually the first browser to have so many little browser features like the above and otherwise, it originally was called MyIE2, and was a "shell" over Internet Explorer. It was a far superior browser.
It's unfortunate that they didn't go Chromium when they decided to create a standalone browser, cause they lost so much development time.
Edge seems like they are willing to add features people want, like they've added Double-Click to close tab finally, Open Favorites in New Tab, the way Tabs open, etc.
Oh, to give you another example, I want to use Vivaldi because it has so many features and configuration options, however like 3 seemingly little things I just can't stand. Like, I can't stand their:
- Menu Button on the Left top of the page instead of on the top right as ALL other browsers have it, just can't stand it there.
- Can't stand their "Ghost Favorite Icons".
- Can't stand they also have the Favorites Folder Dropdown on the Favorites bar show the Favorites in a "Single scrollable Column" instead of Multi-columns.
So, I think just those three things and I can't use the browser because I can't stand those things so much, I've been using better browsers in relation to those aspects for near 25 years. I just can't use something "lesser".Anyway, Edge is having a similar problem, a couple of little things, which are BIG to me, I just can't use the browser, even though it's a FAR better browser than say Maxthon currently is, same for Vivaldi.
So, "little" things like this thread is about, are things I NEED fixed, so I can finally switch to a truly professional browser.
