    Microsoft Edge Keeps Switching from Inactive to Active by a New Tab


    When Microsoft Edge opens a new tab automatically, it keeps switching itself from inactive to active. I want Microsoft Edge to stay inactive, so I would not be interrupted by Microsoft Edge. Are there any settings to let Microsoft Edge stay inactive?

    It also happens, when I am playing a PC game outside of Microsoft Edge.

    Hi,

    If your computer goes well... It might depend on how often the website and on how they try to steal application focus.

    There are methods to prevent this in most popular browsers. but "google" Browsers steals focus. there's also a wiki on this

    This is considered to be an annoyance or hazard to some users because the program may steal the focus while their attention is not on the computer screen,
    Considered as a mode error... That error always comes too often...since it's creation.
