Microsoft Edge’s new tab page can sometimes feel cluttered due to the default news feed. For users who prefer a cleaner and more focused browsing experience, disabling the news feed can be advantageous. This guide will walk you through the straightforward steps to achieve this.
Accessing the New Tab Page
To begin, open Microsoft Edge and click on the ‘+’ sign to open a new tab. You will notice the news feed displayed prominently, often featuring articles from various sources. The next steps will focus on hiding this feed.
Customizing Your New Tab Page
On the new tab page, locate the settings (gear) icon typically found in the top right corner of the page. Click on this icon to access the customization options for the new tab page. Here, you’ll be presented with several layout options.
Choosing the Right Layout
In the layout settings menu, select ‘Custom’ as your layout choice. This will expand additional options that allow you to fine-tune your new tab page appearance and features. Scroll down to find the section labeled ‘Content’.
Disabling the News Feed
Under the ‘Content’ section, you will have the option to set the content to ‘Content off’. Selecting this will effectively disable the news feed, offering you a cleaner new tab experience. Alternatively, you can select ‘Headings only’ if you prefer to see minimal headlines without the full news feed.
Disabling the news feed on Microsoft Edge’s new tab page can streamline your browsing experience, letting you focus on what matters most. Following these simple steps ensures a tidier, distraction-free new tab page every time you open Microsoft Edge.
