Open Same Tab
Make links open in the same tab for specific webpages.
What is Open Same Tab?
Open Same Tab is an Edge add-on that allows you to make links open in the same tab for specific webpages. It is designed to counter search engines' strategy of keeping users on their search results page by forcing each search result to open in a new tab. With Open Same Tab, you can easily click the toolbar icon on a search results page to remember the domain and make links open in the same page. To remove the domain, simply visit the page and click the toolbar icon again.

Add-on summary
Nowadays search engines are greedy and want to keep you on their search results page for as long as possible. That's why they make each search result open in a new tab.
With this extension, simply click the toolbar icon when you are on a search results page, and the extension will remember the domain of the page and the next time you are on that page, the extension will force links to open in the same page.
To remove the domain from the extension, simply visit the same page and click the toolbar icon again.
User reviews
Well it does work fo Amazon and Flipkart where the product pages would open in same tab, however it won't work for Hoyolab (where the tools like daily checkin, interactive map, etc would still open in new tabs) and I have checked all of these for both in browser and their web app form.
