By setting target="_blank" it opens the page in a new tab but also automatically switches to the newly opened tab

 <p> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask" target = "_blank"> ask </a> </p>

when I click on ask, it opens in a new tab and switches to a new tab, how do I prevent switching to new tab.

I'm new to HTML so excuse me if the question is silly.

use `target="_self"` to open on the same page OR do not use target at all :) – Always Helping Sep 11 '20 at 07:27
