Tab Redirect: Customize Your Newtab Page on Edge

'Tab Redirect' is a user-friendly and highly customizable Edge add-on tool. Its main function is to provide Edge users with the ability to overwrite the default new tab with a page of their choice. Therefore, every time you open a new tab, instead of seeing the default Edge tab, you will be redirected to your preferred page. This not only personalizes the user's browsing experience but also boosts productivity by taking users directly to their frequently visited pages.

Works great. Microsoft doing everything in its power to scare you off this extension.

Stick with NEW TAB REDIRECT (Chrome extension - allow extensions from other stores in Edge). This extension DOES NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU CLICK ITS ICON in the Edge toolbar? Once enabled/activated it merely redirects any new tab to google.com (not when you click the icon even), so it just swaps one DEVIL for a WORSE DEVIL. Seriously, it should let you enter any URL you want, but if not, at least lock it into edge://settings/help so that Edge is always checking for updates on launch. YO, MARCUS!!!!
