What I'd like most:

More spots for frequently visited pages. I'd like at least a second row (three is a good limit).

Exciting news! A lot of planned features for the NTP, new tab page, including turning off the news feed!

  Looking forward to seeing the set-aside tabs option.

    Edit Favs ability does exist in Edge & Edge C, albeit, with a couple more options in Edge, right now. But, both do allow URL editing.
