How do I get bing to open youtube instead of the bing video viewer

I want to open youtube links in the youtube website, not in the Bing video viewer. How do I do this without having to click additional links? This also goes for other video and image search results.

Hi Jeremy, I am John J.D., a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand your frustration; I'm here to provide information as a fellow Microsoft Bing user. Unfortunately, there is no method to disable this feature. However, you can click on the YouTube logo to continue watching the video on YouTube.

You have the option to provide feedback directly to the Microsoft Bing team by clicking "Feedback" at the bottom of every Bing search results page. The more users providing similar feedback, the better. Would you like me to send similar feedback or provide feedback to Microsoft on your behalf instead?

Please let me know.

John J.D.

John:

If you also want to pass this along, that would be great. I'm also going to submit my own feedback - thanks for reminding me of that. I think I understand why Microsoft does this (the more they can keep people's eyes on pages they own, the more ad revenue they can control), but it's a really annoying "feature". At best, it's an extra click and at worst it's an extra open tab. I prefer to control-click a number of potentially relevant search results so I don't lose my place in the search page (as often happens if you click the back button) or diverge down a rabbit hole (as often happens if you follow the "similar results" links on a search result). Ctrl-click (obviously) opens a new tab, but clicking the youtube button *also* opens a new tab resulting in an extra useless tab for each result.

Anyway, thanks for your response and hope you have a wonderful day.

-J
