What can I say? That "collections" place is MY place. MY contents. I did not ask for it to be aggregated with whatever random trash that shows there every time. I know technically it comes from somewhere else (MSN) but I do not care.

The Collections space was supposed to be MY space to keep MY information. What's next, the Favorites list?

I really hate, despise, contempt (yes, it's a verb too) this new feature. WTH is going on with Edge?

PS: Where did "Add all tabs to Collections" go? Just asking for a friend 😐

BTW, the best part of all is that this ONLY happens if you are signed into the browser with a Microsoft account. If you sign out, all this nonsense goes away. Special treatment for us, I guess! It's beyond absurd. I'm losing faith in this browser. First, they push the "Discover" button on us. Now this. No issue at all if they want to provide this as an option, but it needs to be able to be turned off.

Thanks! So easy! Just logged out and the suggestions go away. This is such an annoying feature! my wife and I were talking about Shirley Temple and her famous curly hair once and my daughter asked who she was. I showed a photo and explained. Now the suggestions in collections are full of photos of Shirley Temple! Collections was really great and useful but, as usual, Microsoft ruined it! They seem to have a talent for messing stuff up and annoying people! I am still angry about Windows Phone 10!!!
