BING gets on your nerves
So I now got your issue. If you want to change your search engine on the NTP (New Tab Page) search bar, go to the address bar and search setting page (edge://settings/search), then go to "Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar" and select the option as "Address bar" from the dropdown menu and then whatever you search from anywhere will be searched on your preferred search engine.
If you want to remove content that gets loaded from MSN (Microsoft Network), go to the NTP Settings menu by clicking the gear icon on the top-right corner of the new tab page, select your page layout as custom and then under the content section, select the option as content off from the dropdown menu. You can even change other settings to make it look the way you want.
I hope that this will help you 🙂
The old saying says - Luke, use the Startpage! Use the Force! (to implement it via strong extension)
Use Startpage extension, of course. Startpage is using Google, but it cares for your safety & security.
Try to install it as default via startpage.com or search for its extension (it waits there to use it!).
But I'm not a "blade runner". Bing is present in context menu and it may be handy sometimes. It has its own panel on the right side! Good thing, really. Anyway, let everyone finds his way of doing things in Edge by himself (with a little helps from Edge Insiders chaps). 😉
