Prevent PyCharm from opening the browser/new tab on run

Question

I found a number of people who want PyCharm to open the browser/a new tab every time you click run.

• https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206590705-How-do-I-setup-Run-Debug-Config-to-open-browser-automatically-for-Flask-
• Django manage.py runserver doesn't open browser

Well, I click run often and already have the tabs open I need. It's quite frustrating to have to close the new ones, and I want to turn it off. I have looked thru all the menus and I can't find the Run browser setting some people talk about.

I also tried disabling all Django support for browsers in Settings -> Tools -> Browsers, but this made no difference.

Versions:

• PyCharm 2017.1.1
• Python 3.5.x
• Django 1.10
