Bing search engine with "NEW* CoolStart - Custom New Tab Page"
Hello everybody, every time i add this extension " NEW* CoolStart - Custom New Tab Page" from Microsoft store, it changes my search engine to Google as a default and does not allow me to control, i tried this extension setting but i found no where to manage. what could be the problem?
- HI MarsMas,
The cool start browser extension does not change your default search engine, if you use the Edge URl bar, it will go to Bing if you use the floating text box on the website, then it is google 🙂
have a wonderful day!
PS: Edge will automatically disable the extension by default after installing if it changes your search engine MarsMas Hi there- I just downloaded this on my Macbook 2010 series and it works fine- after installing from chrome web extensions you have to click the small pop-up in the top-center of the screen, and chrome will give the option of remaining with the chrome web browser or if you select the " Keep it!" option you will have access to all of the various wallpapers available when using the Cool Start "fire" browser.
Have a great day and stay safe with Covid and everything.

(PS- use Chrome not edge as it is faster and costs nothing to make a google account; trust me it is better by and large!)
- And google is a hacker company nowadays
- What browser are you using?
- Where are the themes on Microsoft extension store?
HotCakeX you can find them all here, startup pages
- Hi,
Don't install extensions you don't trust. extensions can be malicious.
you can modify your search engine from here: edge://settings/searchthis extension controls this area edge://settings/search, i cannot change, by the way i got this this extension from Microsoft store. it seems i have to disable it
- That honestly looks bad, yes disable or remove it. I wouldn't want an extension that stops me from changing my settings.
I remember Edge had an option in the privacy section that would prevent extensions from doing such things but I can't find it anymore: edge://settings/privacy
