Why is there no option to open in another tab on the new tab page when i am looking at the news feed

Hi PapalPenguin,

Welcome to ask the Microsoft community and we'll be happy to help you.

We are in the same situation as you through testing, the user interface and functionality on the iPad, especially when using the Edge browser, may be different from the Edge browser on the PC due to the limitations and design guidelines of the iOS and iPadOS platforms. On the iPad, the Edge browser may be designed to be more touch-friendly and have a cleaner interface, whereas on the PC, it may offer more features and more complex interaction options.

If you encounter limitations in the Edge browser, try using the Safari browser to see if there are more options or better support, as Safari is optimized for both iOS and iPadOS. You may want to consider cross use.

I look forward to hearing from you and sharing more information.

Sadly using Safari is not the answer I would hope for LOL

Especially since opening a new tab in Safari doesn’t produce the News Feed that I get on Edge. I just want to be able to have an option to open in a new tab, right now the only options are Open, Copy or Share with none of those allowing me to open it in a new tab so I can keep where I am at on the main tab…

Not all elements on a web page can be opened in a new tab. It depends on how the element was coded.

I completely understand that, we are talking about links on a Microsoft site using a Microsoft browser it should be something they could do honestly

I hear you, but that content doesn't come from Microsoft. It's from a hired contractor. You think Microsoft has time to go through news sites all over the world and pick out items to feature on Microsoft Edge?
