As Start Menu is to Windows, New Tab is to Edge (Browsers). Atleast All of us agree to this.Having multiple new tabs is like opening multiple start menu in windowsSo why don't have something like a start menu in edge instead of the new tab page. It should be flyout like the start menu in windows is.This Feature could set it apart from other browsers.I know that you guys could design better UI than I could photoshopThose multiple new window buttons could be replace with somethings like setting, extentions, inprivate window etc

I think this one explain it better.

Maan2003 Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to create a mock-up. I've passed your suggestion on to the NTP product team and will let you know if they have any additional thoughts. Fawkes (they/them)Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge

I'd vote for the Start menu style for NTP too 😉

Maan2003 This ain't gonna happen. But since you brought it up, a NTP modeled after the Windows 8 Start screen might actually work. Your quick links could be like live tiles, and populate with the same cool animation as when you opt to "use Start full screen" in Windows. But I would still make it a tab.

  JordanQ I think that you didn't get me.
  Alert Box is like flyout/popup/overlay something like that. But it is not a tab.
  Think of the Edge start menu to be like a large overlay ( like an alert box). It won't be a tab. It may not be full screen
  Just like Windows 10 start menu is not a window it is flyout/overlay ( anybody please help me what is called? 😀)

  JordanQ Moreover what does a browser has to do with live tiles???
  
  Just Ignore the contents
  This kind overlay I was talking about (larger version). This doesnot look like a tab.

I just don't get what you're attempting to describe. Maybe it's because I have little to zero experience with Windows 8(.1) or Windows Phone, but please elaborate. Maan2003
