How to change the country of My Feed in Microsoft Edge Chromium?
chdslv All I can do here is give a clue that I stumbled upon. It's also what led me to having this problem in the first place. Hopefully somebody that know more than me can do something with it.
I'm in the Mid-Atlantic region of the USofA, and my feed was set appropriately. Then I hooked up to my VPN and my IP address registered in Montreal, Canada. If I did anything else at this point, I don't remember, but my feed has been Canadian ever since. Disconnecting from my VPN does not change it back.
Good luck cyber sleuths!
Hi all,
Some feedback from Belgium where by default we have multiple languages.
My Edge (Beta) was set to EN but the news displayed in the new tab were displayed in Dutch, while I'm French speaking. The news posted were indeed Belgian news so that was ok. However, I wanted to have news in French. (or say: from Belgian French-speaking sources).
So the setup was slightly annoying until I found out this article and tried a few things.
- In my preferred language settings, only English was present.
- I added French and then selected "Display MS Edge in this language".
- Upon restarting Edge, the news posts were displaying Belgian French-speaking news article. Hurrah, that did it.
- However, all Edge menu were now in French and .... I wanted to keep EN.
- I switched back to "English" (not English United States or United Kingdom) for the "display Edge in this language" and restarted Edge.
- Bingo, I have now exactly what I want:
- Contextual menus in Edge Beta are in EN
- News articles are in French and from Belgian sources.
Not so intuitive but it works does not work, so I share.
EDIT: bah, no. After another browser restart, the news switched to US.
