Now that Microsoft has been including Chromium Edge with recent Microsoft Updates, there appear to be posts in various forums from users who are needing information on learning how to deal with settings and new features.
When Edge is open you may want to change the Home Page and/or Start Page.
Change the Home Page: Click on the Gear in the upper right. Several options are offered for your layout.
- Focused – presents a clear-looking page free from clutter. The only content on this page is quick links to access your most visited websites.
- Inspirational – same as focused but with a daily photo background with information about it.
- Informational – contains articles, images and other data. The news stories section contains tabs that enable the user to click through in order to read information in various categories.
- Custom – can be customized to your liking. There are many options including using your own photo instead of relying on one provided by Microsoft.
- Select your choice.
Change the Start Page: Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. Scroll down to the Gear icon >Settings
Open specific page. You can enter a URL here by clicking the “Add a new page” button.
Under that there are 3 dots. Clicking on that will allow you to make changes.
Now you have begun to customize your version of Edge. As you become more familiar with Edge Settings you will find other ways to personalize the browser.
