On Windows press Alt + D then Shift + Enter

On Mac press Command + L then Shift + Enter.

Alt + D or Command + L to select the URL. Shift + Enter to open the URL in a new window.

This is a trick,

function openInNewTab(url) {
  window.open(url, '_blank').focus();
}

// Or just
window.open(url, '_blank').focus();

In most cases, this should happen directly in the onclick handler for the link to prevent pop-up blockers, and the default "new window" behavior. You could do it this way, or by adding an event listener to your DOM object.

<div onclick="openInNewTab('www.test.com');">Something To Click On</div>

Hello NormF

My Name is Paul one of the Community Advisor and a Microsoft Consumer like you. In the new edge chromium you need to install a chrome extension to be able to acheive that since Microsoft Edge allow's chrome extensions now to the the browser.

Here's the link so you can add this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-t... and make sure to allow Edge Store once prompted by Microsoft Edge.

Once the extension is added click the 3 dotted icons on the upper right for you to manage the URL's in your new tabs.

If you have further questions regarding this please let me know and I will answer back as soon as I can.

Regards and stay safe.

You can add a little user script to break target="_blank":

var a = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].target == "_blank")
        a[i].target = "_self";

How you get something like that to run is another question.

You need to run Chromium with --enable-user-scripts so you need to alter your launchers (right click the menu, edit menus, etc). The command should be:

chromium-browser %U --enable-user-scripts

Then you need to save the script:

mkdir ~/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts/
gedit ~/.config/chromium/Default/User\ Scripts/target-eater.user.js

Paste in the script, save and edit gedit. Launch chromium with --enable-user-scripts and the script should automatically load and start nuking _blanks
