I usually click with the mouse wheel/button to put up a new tab and then click the tab. If it wasn't for the 3 dots (Settings) top right being horizontal instead of vertical as in Chrome I can hardly tell which browser I'm running. I still have Old Edge on the taskbar. There is an ABP (beta) extension for Edge Dev in the Microsoft Store and I have that as can be seen below.it seems o.k Mohawk the only thing that I can see that needs tweeking is that you cannot get a new tab to open with the page that you want at the moment
