Stop automatically opening help pages on browser

As a graphic designer I regularly use Photoshop.

 

When using the Selection tool sometimes I accidentally don't select pixels / my hand slips etc.

There is a current feature that automatically opens a tab in your browser every time you do this for "help" – it takes you to a page called "Adjust Pixel Selections". I know what I am doing and it is extremely annoying to be taken out of the app every time my hand slips and this happens. 

 

I can't find anywhere to turn this off and stop it from happening. Can anyone help?

Which selection tool are you using when that happens?

 

A couple of settings you can try to stop that from happing are by going to

Photoshop 2025>Settings>Tools and unchecking Show Rich Tooltips

then in Photoshop 2025>Settings>Technology Previews check Enable Focus Mode

restart Photoshop for the settings to take affect.
