You can use something like "Custom New Tab" Extension and then you can make any web page your new tab.
https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/custom-new-tab/onagfgjlokaciajhjmajljcfanonbmiaThat's what I am going to do since the "Search by Voice" was removed from the default new tab page.
So you can use any page that has a search by voice like google.com for example.
Also am I the only one here who thinks it's ridiculous that you have to install an extension just so you are able to change the new tab page? I mean really Microsoft????????? 😞 lol
