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.[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.
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)

New: Old: As always, remember changes in insider channels may follow the controlled feature rollouts plan.New Tab shorcuts without background like on Mobile [Suggestion]
On the last build of Microsoft Edge the "tiles" were removed from the new tab page, from my point of view that change didnt help too much to make less notable the icons inconsistency. My personal suggestion is remove the shorcuts background just like in the mobile version. Beside the new tab in the mobile version of chrome, Edge one looks thousand times better.Edge 84 stable released and still No option to set custom picture for the new tab page !?!
