Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
As of Today, this key " --enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting" no longer works in any version of Edge. No idea why they find it necessary to remove it and since no one from MS seems to care enough to want to inform the public or it's beta users the reason for this. We are without it......
I can rememeber when all this started Tech's were eager to post replies in these forums, but today, it would seem they just blow it off...........

Maxthon has lot's of issues that aren't fixable anytime soon, so that was a waste.
Vivaldi I've had to do a MASSIVE amount of "Modification" just to make things look and work properly, at least "most" of what needed to be done.
It's one thing Edge did right is their "design" and functionality was good out of the box, I didn't have to "mod" anything.
But, I've now gotten Vivaldi working to where it looks like I can use it.
Though, I still have to see if their "Email Client" is good enough.....
ANOTHER example of Microsoft's absolute incompetence.... I have to leave Windows Mail and Calendar, MS's BEST Email client in UI, ease of use etc. because they are getting rid of it. Outlook is absolutely TERRIBLE.... bad UI, no Unified Inbox, Intrusive Ad, etc.
These damned people WASTE so much of my TIME, when I should be Job Hunting right now. 😞

leeuniverse Indeed!, There are still a bunch of features from IE that don't seem to have carried forward. For most of them there are plugins to get around, but it shouldn't be necessary. That is why I eschewed edge for Chrome for the longest time.
Thanks for the heads up.
