It is my view edge’s inability to change the new tabs page or even to set it to your homepage (which is what i do and no doubt countless others do too in ie) is very deliberate on microsoft’s part and is their way to ensure users of edge also use the bing search engine at least to some degree since the default search engine in the new tabs window is bing, Now You: What is displayed on your New Tab page? If Firefox's and Chrome's Extension Stores are anything to go by, it is likely that Edge will get its fair share of New Tab page extensions as well that change the contents on the New Tab page and provide you with better customization options in the process. While you can at least remove top sites that you are not interested in from the browser's new tab page, you cannot do anything like that for the suggested contents module (other than disable it completely).Ĭonsidering that Edge is a work in progress, it is possible that Microsoft will add customization options to the browser's New Tab page.Īnother possible solution to fill the page with (better) content is to wait for browser extension support in Edge. Users who don't like sports, are not interested in the stock market, or want custom local news are left in the dark as there is no option provided to change any of the information.
The same is true for the suggested contents area as it lacks any form of customization either. If you remove all top sites from the New Tab page you end up with an empty row of underneath the top sites title that wastes space.
The top sites list links to popular web destinations such as YouTube, eBay, Amazon, ESPN or Twitter for example, and while you can remove one, some or all of them, you cannot add any to it.
