Key notes
If there’s one thing that keeps people away from Microsoft’s built-in and often-overlooked browser Edge, it’s its interface.
Once you open the browser, by default, you will see dozens of endless news coming your way on the home screen. Ironically, these news pieces are often biased toward a certain political wing, or even rooted in adware promotions, useless marketing deals, and AI-generated articles.
One Reddit usercomplainsthat this issue takes away Edge’s simple look and drives people even further from the browser. No one wants to read the news when they open their browser.
“Why is the MS homepage filled with Clickbait Trash articles? Yes, I understand you can edit the topics that appear on the browser tab when you open the new browser. But if you don’t, by default the newsfeed on Edge is like a solid wall of clickbait trash articles. I mean they want people to start using Edge/Bing, but c’mon. I feel like this is a huge part of the reason most people don’t use Edge or Bing”
If you could relate to this problem, then this article is for you. Here’s a workaround for how you can disable the news feed on Edge.
