How to Stop Microsoft Edge from Opening Links in New Tabs

Microsoft Edge does something very strange if you use Bing Search. Links will open in new tabs and the Search page stays open in another. This can get annoying, and it’s not clear if Bing or Edge is at fault. Here’s the problem we’re talking about: You do a search, click a link from the results, and you’re taken to a new tab.
