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.
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. rhrmn
But, why doesn't setting theaddresssearch bar to google and using NTP do the trick for you? It's, still, a search bar, same as the one in the middle of the page... well, same functionally, BUT, you can have it using google
(and w/ NTP).
Cheers,
Drew- Microsoft Edge should let users switch NTP search engine to whatever they like. Google chrome does and I already set my NTP in Google chrome to Bing.
