How to customise Microsoft Edge’s ‘new tab’ page

Whenever you open a new tab within Microsoft Edge, you’ll see a panel of seven website tiles (including Microsoft Store, Facebook, Amazon, Daily Mail, etc.) at the top. Below that, you’ll see a ‘My feed’ section with the top news stories from different sources, including Sky News, Press Association, The Telegraph and The Huffington Post. On the right, you’ll see the weather in your area, the latest Premier League scores and share prices.

To customise the website tiles at the top, simply click and drag them to the left or right. Right-click any tile to see options to remove it. This will then be replaced by a blank tile that you can click to add a website of your choice.

Click the cog-shaped icon at the top right of the page. On the Customise page that opens, you can choose to see – when you open a new tab – top sites and your feed (the default setting), only the top sites, or a blank webpage. At the bottom (see screenshot below), you’ll see sliders beside Weather, Sport and Money. This lets you control what you see on the right panel.

At the bottom, you’ll see six topics – News, Entertainment, Sport, Money, Lifestyle and Cars. Select the ones you want to see more of, then click Save.
