Safari automatically opens new tabs whenever I click a link

Hi,


I've been having this issue for a while where Safari just automatically opens up new tabs whenever I press anything. I want to open a Wiki page I searched from Google, I press the Wiki link, and just a new tab opens. It's very annoying. I tried resetting the Mac with the usual 10-second wait and all. I updated to Mac Big OS. It's still happening nevertheless.


Any possible solutions to this? (Using MacBook Air 2019)


Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

That behavior can be changed in safari menu > preferences.
