When the list of countries in the New tab page gets completed?
The list has been incomplete for a while so i was wondering when the rest of the countries will be added there are only 60 countries on the list and there are 200 countries in the world. it's not just for language but also more importantly for News sourcesTurn the Tiles on the Edge NTP (New Tab Page) into Live Tiles
on the NTP (new tab page), most visited websites can be shown, with a small icon which is basically that website's favicon and the website/web page title. My Suggestion is to Turn those Tiles into Live Tiles. so instead of showing a static Icon and title, show the contents of that web page. the contents can be divided into 4 or 5 slides that are the size of the whole Tile and change every 3-4 seconds automatically like a slide show. they can be very useful and serve as a quick sneak peak or preview into those most visited websites, so user can look at them and check for new content. these previews can be loaded when Edge is launched and reloaded when the user refreshes the new tab page. there needs to be a minimum period between each manual reload of these contents to prevent sending spam-looking requests to those websites (when a user decides to spam the refresh button on NTP). the minimum period can be set to something like 20 seconds and not less. this will be a great addition to the new Edge browser. dynamically generated contents are always better than static content.New Feature: New Tab Page (NTP) weather, greeting message and option
Another New Feature in Edge insider Version 81.0.367.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) the New Tab Page (NTP) has got new stuff added to it. Showing greetings based on user's Time (Good morning/Good evening/ Good night) Showing weather and temperature based on user's location (Celsius and Fahrenheit units based on user's regional preferences) * it appears on all NTP layouts, I only chose custom to remove distractions from the screenshot ** If you click on the weather and temperature, you will be taken to the MSN weather where you can see more details and forecasts.
New Tab Page hijacking, forced advertising
Edge has recently started switching off my preferred New Tab page extension and replacing it with its own New Tab page. Worse yet, the default New Tab page doesn't even respect my saved settings like not showing me any sponsored links. This is precisely the kind of behavior that landed Microsoft in an antitrust suit in the '90s. If this continues, I'll not only be uninstalling Edge from all my devices (I'm a Mac user), I'll be filing a complaint with the FTC.
New tab page App launcher apps missing after update
After a recent update to Microsoft Edge Chromium ( I am now on Version 94.0.992.38 (Official build) (64-bit) ), the App launcher no longer shows all of the items that it used to show and does not show the same items as when I open the menu from an office 365 app. This is what it shows now: And this is what is showed before the update: Any idea why it has stopped showing my full menu? It was a really nice experience before and now I have to click through to a different app or 'all apps' to find what I want. Kind of annoying considering I had got used to the full menu on the new tab page.New Improvements to Edge settings - smart merge (new tab page, home, startup)
Microsoft Edge Version 90.0.808.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) New: Old - How it looked before: So what has happened is that these 2 settings pages: edge://settings/newTabPage edge://settings/onStartup have been merged into one: edge://settings/startHomeNTP (Start, home, and new tabs) a very smart and good move to optimize free space and organize options more efficiently. Another change in settings: edge://settings/appearance selecting "set button URL" takes you to the newly merged settings page. New: Old: As always, remember changes in insider channels may follow the controlled feature rollouts plan.[Done] Add a "Search by voice" option in the new tab page
There needs to be an option in the new tab page in Edge to initiate a web search using voice and picture (reverse image search), instead of having to go to the Bing and then click on the microphone icon, Or going to Bing images and doing the reverse search.Edge 84 stable released and still No option to set custom picture for the new tab page !?!
Edge Version 84.0.522.40 (Official build) (64-bit) there is still no option to set custom picture for new tab page. I had that option more than 3 months ago on Edge dev, after 3 months, it still isn't available in Edge stable.
