BING gets on your nerves
So I now got your issue. If you want to change your search engine on the NTP (New Tab Page) search bar, go to the address bar and search setting page (edge://settings/search), then go to "Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar" and select the option as "Address bar" from the dropdown menu and then whatever you search from anywhere will be searched on your preferred search engine.
If you want to remove content that gets loaded from MSN (Microsoft Network), go to the NTP Settings menu by clicking the gear icon on the top-right corner of the new tab page, select your page layout as custom and then under the content section, select the option as content off from the dropdown menu. You can even change other settings to make it look the way you want.
I hope that this will help you 🙂
TheShaunSaw there you go
After looking at the screenshot, I now understood what you are talking about. The point is that this is how the new tab page looks in Microsoft Edge and you cannot edit it. You can only edit the startup page but then Google would not appear when you open a new tab. You can make it look like a Google page by going to the NTP settings menu, then switching the setting to focused. If you even want to remove quick links and greetings, go to the custom NTP settings and turn those toggles off.
If you want to see Google as your New Tab Page, you can use an extension whose link has been given by thexfile. I checked the extension and it works as intended, only MS Edge disables it at the start as the extension tries to change the NTP settings. You can enable it by going to the extensions page (edge://extensions).
I hope that the recent posts by me and my fellow member helps you to do what you want 🙂
- Anytime 🙂
