There is a problem with the new official version of the Chromium Edge. The new tab suddenly became like this. If I remember correctly, this is Microsoft MSN's promotion al-Greater China ...
HiMary-Sue
I could easily reproduce this as well on Edge canary Version 81.0.396.0 (Official build)
so if i use custom layout and then set the news and content language to this, and Only this:
(not sure what it is because I can't read it)
then i get that weird news layout.
All other countries that I tried are like this:
So I think Bing (Microsoft) is obligated (By China government) to show those links at the top to Chinese citizens.
Maybe that's right. OP might want a global version of MSN. But in mainland China, MSN and Bing will be forced to jump to the localized version. In the latest version, Edge's new tab page also displays Bing's Chinese ICP registering information.
- Yes, i think China told Bing to do that, as part of a contract or something
Maybe for the legal reason. The search engines and content services must go through some kind of censorship in China, so Bing and MSN need to optimize their content for the Chinese users. Edge uses MSN's infomation to display the new tab's news content , so the weird look appears.
- Yes you must be right about that
