Open link in same tab, pop-up as tab

Forces Edge to open new tabs instead of pop-up windows and/or links in the same tab by default instead of new or background tab.
The Edge add-on 'Open link in same tab, pop-up as tab' is a productivity tool designed to optimize your browsing experience. It works by overriding default settings to open links in the same tab, eliminating the need for multiple background tabs. It also turns pop-up windows into more manageable tabs. Note: if this extension stops working, consider disabling Efficiency Mode in the Edge settings.

Wish I didn't have to turn off the Optimization but once that is done it works flawlessly. Edit 5/30/2024 Unfortunately, you have to turn off "Use graphics acceleration when available" also now.
