Single Window for Edge: Manage Links in Active Window

The 'Single Window' add-on for Edge is designed to enhance user navigation by enforcing a single-window mode. When enabled, it prevents websites from opening links in pop-up windows or in new extensions, instead directing all new links to open in the existing active window. Users have the flexibility to enable or disable the add-on easily, and it does not obstruct opening new windows through keyboard shortcuts or interfere with private browsing and extension windows. 'Single Window' ensures a more streamlined browsing experience, effectively managing multiple links.

An extension that does what it claims to do. Zero issues. Works perfectly. Excellent!

The functionality works fine. However, I usually keep three windows open when I shut down. On start up, several tabs are moving to a different window. To confirm it was this extension, I disabled it and restarted and it did not occur. I would be happy to make this a 5 Star Extension if this can be fixed.

This extension solves the missing Edge feature to open new browser windows in a new tab.
