Any request to open a new page, from either the pages themselves or from the OS, prefers a new tab. If there are multiple windows in which it could open a new tab, it prefers the latest. If you want to split a tab off into a new window, you can.
With Explorer, any OS request for a folder that isn’t already open creates a new window and there doesn’t appear to be any way to prevent that.
It’s built into windows 11 now.
But in a weirdly shit way. I will never want more than 1 window but still end up with 5.
How do you get more then one window of you don’t want them and have tabs?
The browsers solved this long ago.
