Change wallpaper in Microsoft Edge ONLY

New to Microsofrt Edge for Windows 10.

 I do NOT want to change wallpaper on my desktop!!

I don't like wallpaper each time I open Microsoft Edge-new tab.  In bottom right, there is a camera that says "Like what you see?"  If you click on it, you can select "Like it" or "Not a fan".  

I selected "Not a Fan" and it would change the picture.  I still didn't like it, so kept going.  I finally ended up with London, England.  

Now each time i select, "Not A Fan", it no longer changes picture. 

I'm wanting a beach scene.  I even tried downloading extension, but that wouldn't work.

Please let me know how i can change background to something i like?

    currently you can't set a custom picture as your background on Edge New tab page if you are using Stable or Beta channels.

     

    however if you are using Edge Dev or Canary channels, you should have access to this option on the new tab page:

        It was there in past versions of Microsoft Edge, but I don't know what happened to the gear now.

        The feature got pushed, you have to be at least on Edge Dev or Canary to see that feature.
