How to change the country of My Feed in Microsoft Edge Chromium?
Henry08 Seems to have no effect in the latest dev channel version.
I can't see any change - no regional (Norwegian) feed sources are available after changing browser language.
As far as I know, the settings for my personalized feed in the classic Edge browser is stored and synced with my MS account. Edge Insider does not honor these settings.
FYI: To my knowledge, the feed region and sources setting is shared between Edge classic and the Microsoft News app.
YearnA I set language to norks and got this. I'm not so sure but it looks like Norwegian feed as for me. Canary 79.0294

Henry08 You're right. I had multiple languages in my languages list, and moving Norwegian to the top was not sufficient. But when choosing "Display Microsoft Edge in this language" it works.
Edge UI Language
I was afraid that in order to get the "regionalized" feed to work I would have to change the languages list and thereby all "Accept-Language" request headers sent from Edge.
If the feed region/language will not have a setting of its own, I prefer that feed follows the browser "UI Language" setting instead like it does now.
I have a feeling that users will demand separate and more visible/available setting for the news feed language though.- chdslvNov 06, 2019Brass Contributor
The language could be British English, but say, I'd like to get info, say from Poland or Russia. For example, a person living in Poland should be able to have the browser in English, but get info news from Poland, and be able to choose from any other country.

Feed source region should be a separate setting.
Default value for the setting could be: "Determined by browser display language" - but with the possibility to change to a different region value.
