Edge how to Always open favorites in new tab?
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.

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,
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.
DavidOk, first
1. Wherever your shortcut to which ever version of edge your using is, right click it2. on the next screen that pops up after your right click, right click the name of the edge version you are using.
3. After you right click it, another popup will show with the name "Poperties" on it, click it.
4. on the next screen that pops up make sure your on the "shortcut" tab section at the top of that screen/window. and where it says "target" is where your going to add this "--enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting" line at the end of what is already there. Do not replace what is there, just add to the end of it without the quotes..
5. Now after you add that line, look at the bottom of that window and you should see the word "apply" click it.
6. After you click "apply" click the word "OK".
Then if you have your edge browser open, close it and restart it. If you don't have it open, then just start your browser and you should be good to go.
After you open your browser you will need to right click on a favorite you want to open and verify that "always open in a new tab" is checked and if it is not click it to place a check ✓on it. After you do that you should then be good to go for all favorites you open there after.....
Hope this helps
Dennis5mile- I wish that worked for Mac's as well.
