Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
Or middle click if you don't want to drag. 😉
Hi
There is now a proper extension available.
Tree Dots - Extensions - Get Extensions for Microsoft Edge ( Bottom Option ) - Type in " Open Bookmarks in a New Tab " and up it comes 4th Item Down.
It was added on 12th May.
I would like to spread the Word but I am not totally au fait with the method to do that.
Regards,
Peterwink

Unfortunately, I have found (and reported) a bug with this extension. With the extension activated, when the add bookmark function is opened (ctrl+d or the "star") the bookmark is saved immediately, but in the last folder that was saved to before the extension was activated. Changing the folder or even clicking on "Remove" in the pop-up window have no effect. The only way the bookmark can be moved to a different folder or deleted, is using the dedicated bookmarks window. As soon as the extension is deactivated, the add bookmark behaviour reverts to normal.
This is probably more of a pain than a show-stopper. Hopefully, the developer comes up with a solution.

It's a real pity that the morons at MS couldn't build it but at least the extension works, thanks.

After years, the solution finally arrived. Thank you so much! Now Edge is perfect for me.
