Feature request: Open a Favorite in a New Tab Automatically
Doesn't really help those of us who don't always have a mouse with us.
When I'm on my laptop, I have my mouse. When using my tablet, there's no keyboard or mouse. I need to be able to tap and open in a new tab without the hassle of a long press and additional tap. Option is still needed, not a work-around on how to do it with a wheeled mouse. Not everyone is at a desktop all the time, and Edge needs to meet everyone's needs. It's why I'm testing with different hardware from most testers.
rhapdog Exactly. I already knew you could do this via a context menu option. What I want is a general setting to have favorites open in a new tab every time, by default, on tap or left click.

Being like Winnie the Pooh with only a wee brain, I'm lost as to whether there is any point to saying this (here & now) or not...
Middle click, is what will do it not, left. Middle click on the wanted Fav, it opens in an added tab. The reverse will close a tab, too.
Anyway, if this is, already, known or doesn't apply in the context of this thread, just ignore it, no worries.
Cheers,
DrewDrew1903 We seem to jump over the fact that a lot of people do not have a third button or mousewheel or middle click (on a Mac here).
Opening a favourite in a new tab would be logical. Like now, i can mention a lot of cases where it would make more sence to do it in a new tab.
- Reading mail in a browser and want to look up something
- Typing this message and do a spell check
- Any case where you are doing something in a tab and need something else.
I have trouble thinking about a case where i am finished with the current tab en go to a favourite.
So please, make it a setting.
