Top feedback summary for December 17
David Rubino I like using the new Chromium browser but until the New Tab page allows me to set it to either a blank page or a custom URL, I can't use it as my daily driver. This recommendation has been on your feedback list for 17 weeks. Please make this a priority after release on January 15th.

Hi,
you can already do them both.
This is the cleanest you can get. use the NTP layout to set it like this.
You can also set a web page to be opened on startup
Yes, I have. I would like to set a custom URL for the NTP due to personal preference for the Google search engine over the Bing search engine. The results I receive from Bing are not as helpful as the results I receive from Google. I know that I can set my default search engine to Google and search a NTP using the address bar, but I would prefer to switch the NTP from Bing search to Google search.
- Sure,
feel free to pick whatever you like from the catalog here:

One of the best outcomes of switching from EdgeHTML to Chromium is that now we don't need to wait for developers to implement something. just search for whatever you like and there is a high chance an extension is made for it.

There may be 'backlash' for saying this, but, oh well...
Sometimes giving heaps of concern, focus or attention to NTP seems hard to grasp. Sometimes it is hard to grasp the point of NTP, initially. Seems could function fine without it, at all. No, not advocating that, just saying... For all it does or for whatever need it fills, personally, Bing home page offers more search functions plus, all the same things as NTP. Only bummer with Bing.com, right now, it won't do Dark, BUT, it will soon. And, there are a couple of Feed settings in NTP that are, also, coming to Bing soon.
I'm sure it's just me, but, sometimes it's hard (for me) to grasp NTP issues being make-or-breaks for the browser.
Cheers,
