It is very common for apps and software to contain web links for every small detail. These links get triggered when we interact with certain elements of the app or software, and this prompts the opening of tabs automatically in the browser. This can be very annoying and can also load the memory and make either the webpage or the app/software unresponsive. Sometimes, these links can also contain sensitive or malicious content which can further damage the computer.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to stop the auto tab opening on Microsoft Edge 2020.
