So how is a second unwanted tab getting launched in the Edge browser?
I reinstalled Chrome yesterday and this does not happen in Chrome browser.
So, some script, that I did not initiate, forces a new tab to launch in Edge only.
This seems like a new take on an old problem where the user would get barraged with pop-up's and pop-under's.
If I, THE USER is not hitting the add new tab + symbol nor am I clicking a link where a new tab is expected, that's a problem.
It tells me either a script I don't want on my laptop is on my laptop, or that Edge has been compromised on my computer.
I would also remind you that the end user (me) is at your mercy in regards to what is okay and what isn't. Saying "It is okay, those are false positives, they won't alarm anymore" just tells me you can't find malicious intent so you are letting this script by or it's a known ad service that you are okay with.
Until I know what that script is, and why it is running without my permission, only in the Edge browser, it is going to remain a problem to me.
