I got sick of Edge constantly pushing penis pills and whatever pseudo-medicine bullshit on me. So I changed the settings to get rid of all that garbage. I did the same on my work computer, except it’s a dark grey screen with just a search bar. I only use Edge once in a blue moon on my own computer, but I use it a lot on my work computer because we use Azure for logins. It just simplifies the process a little. We also have a few antiquated systems that only work through Edge with IE mode.

I’m also not a big fan of Pocket on Firefox so I’ve got all that turned off, too. I haven’t exactly hardened it, but I’ve taken steps to just make it look clean. If there’s anything Chrome does absolutely right, it’s a simple, lightweight, uncluttered welcome/home screen that you don’t have to do anything to get there. Still ain’t picking it over Firefox, though.
I used to use Momentum back when I used Chrome so I’m sure that can also fix Edge’s trashiness with a simple add-on.
Edge is so trashy. It’s constantly trying to shove politics, celebrity gossip and Bing down your throat.
The way they promote it intrusively in every corner of windows they can manage is trashy too.

Ever notice how you can’t change the new tab/home page in Edge? It’s locked down to some page on a Microsoft server (often slow to load too).
