Edge's "My Feed"

Alright, so this is not totally related to Beta but since it is part of Edge Beta I figure that it might as well be here as it may lead to future tweaking of the "My Feed" option.   When you open a...

You are right.  Can change the search engine, but, not on the NTP.

I tend to pay more attention to Bing.com (as Startup page) or my Home page and just let the NTP open w/ nothing, but, the daily photo.  As for the My Feed, for me, all the same is in my Home page (MSN.ca).  I  poke at, try things so, have mucked about w/ personalizing the My Feed.  I don't know for sure if it sheds any light on what you wrote, but... Canada was where the red circle is (left of World).  I dropped Canada and then, turned it back on, again.  Now, have to 'expand' the list to locate it and it won't be moved back to where it was or anywhere else, but, where it , now, is.


 
This is what I had described that is my choice to do w/ NTP; making My Feed issues moot.  (Though) My Home page is nicely arranged (instead).  Even, on Bing.com I have the Feeds shut off.

Only because, I find this dull...


 A wee added note: even though NTP uses Bing, cannot do visual search there whereas, can in Bing.com.


Cheers,
Drew

    I've opted for a blank state too since I am unable to get things as I want them to be.

    I mean it's a no-end problem, close Edge or Edge beta, reopen it and eventually your personal settings default back to where they were. It's not the first time I've had to take off things and canada isn't the only issue, I've taken off other things like say "finance" and it eventually creeps back in.

      Edge also detects those contents based on IP location.
      so that could be either your real/physical location or a VPN/Proxy to change your IP to another country, like France.

      the other known settings that is proved to have effects on the language of new tab page news is the language set in Edge insider settings page.

      Windows 10 language settings could be also related. website do have access to the list of the languages in your OS.

      I will admit that occasionally with current Edge I recall resetting the same stuff/Sections on my (msn.ca) Home page, albeit very rarely.  And, has been due to noticing something unwanted & not normally showing, was there (as in, "came back").  But, to repeat it has not been very often, at all.  Have to agree, it is a silly thing to ever have happen.

      My trip is, I figure if the stuff is 1 place, the Home page, doesn't need to be another place, as well, hence, for myself, not showing Feeds on NTP or Bing.com.... but, they do have nice pictures :happyface:
