In Chrome, new links open in a new tab.

In Edge, only the current window or the next one.

How do you open links in the new tab?

    In Microsoft Edge, when you want to open links in a new tab, you can use the following methods:

    1. Right-click on the link: This will give you an option to "Open link in new tab".
    2. Middle-click on the link: If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, clicking the link with the wheel will also open it in a new tab.
    3. Keyboard Shortcut: You can hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the link to open it in a new tab.

    Additionally, Edge has a feature that allows you to open links in a split-screen view, which can help with multitasking. However, if you specifically want to open links in new tabs rather than in the same window, using the methods mentioned above will be effective.
