Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

In Edge settings, there are only options to set the Home page and the Start page, they have not provided a setting to set the 'New Tab' page in the Edge browser.

To set a specific page as the New Tab page in Edge, you will need to use an Edge extension like this one from the Edge Extensions page:

    I can't believe Microsoft won't allow you to set up what URL link you want opened when you open a new tab. How have operating systems and web browsers gotten worse. This is a basic setting that microsoft eliminated so we have to look at their garbage news and microsoft is trying to push you into using their search engine. No wonder people jump to chrome. Though chrome has google but at least that is better than BING.

    The only one I have found with a common sense explanation for why you can't change to a custom new tab page in Edge.
    Thank you

    Is this a safe extension? "Address" is not spelled correctly.
