How to customize Microsoft Edge’s new tab page in Windows 10 [Tip]

 

As Windows 10 is approaching its release day in summer, Microsoft has pushed out new build for testers more frequently. In build 10122 released yesterday, one of some noticeable improvements is the New tab page for Microsoft Edge (formerly Project Spartan).

You can see the new tab page in Edge looks like the one in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. There are a search bar and a row of frequently visited sites. Especially for Edge, its New tab page also shows “suggested content” which is like a MSN page with weather, news, and featured apps from Windows Store.
