Thanks so much to everyone for providing your thoughts on and support for these changes. Here's a quick recap of what I think you're asking for:
- You would love an email and calendar widget of some kind.
- What would that look like? Just a couple links into mail & calendar? Preview of upcoming appointments & email? How many lines?
- You want to be able to have more tiles, ideally another row.
- You want to pin your favorite tiles, and have those sync to mobile.
- The ability to change the favicon/picture on each quick link tile would be beneficial.
- Those of you using personal and AD (not AAD) accounts want to see the Office new tab page available.
- You expect that the new tab page should continue to show quick link tiles even when you are offline.
These are all great things! We have added an item for the ability to add more tiles to the new tab page on our Top Feedback Summary. You should see updates around that over there.
I have ensured the PM who owns the new tab page has seen all this feedback. Are there any features from other browsers' new tab pages that catch your eye? The team would love to know more about those, on top of these specific items I've listed above. Keep the feedback coming!

To be honest, just about the only reason that I haven't made edge chromium my default browser as of yet is solely the issue of not being able to add a total of only eight site's on the new tab page. Please Be Safe !!
