Thank you for the updatesMissyQ 

These sound great!
being able to set custom image for New tab page and change the search engine.


also I have more feedbacks for the New Tab Page:

  1. Please let us add More tiles for the NTP, currently we can only add 7 tiles in the New tab page. add another row under it so we can add 14 sites/tiles.
  2. Edge should not change the New tab page sites/tiles that user manually sets. there needs to be an option so we can "PIN" the tiles we add and they Don't get changed with most visited sites (based on user's browsing behavior).
  3. also sync the New tab page tiles with the New tab page tiles on Edge mobile (Android/IOS).
  4. Let us Change the image (favicon) shown on New Tab page Tiles.

1) Definitely! Lets get some ideas for new tab page fromFirefox/Vivaldi browsers

2) Agree!

3) Agree! Not just for mobilemusers but sync option for other instances logged in with same sync account

4) I do not think so, there should be some universal "edge" favicon for a new tab

 

Moreover - add a custom search provider

        Oh okay, by the way on #4 i was referring to the favicon for the tiles, not the new tab page itself.
        the tiles are either most visited sites that Edge automatically adds there or user can add them manually.
