Change New Tab Page Layout in the new Microsoft Edge

Microsoft has redesigned its Microsoft Edge browser and moved it from EdgeHTML to the Chromium engine. This means that Google Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge will be powered by the same web engine. However, Microsoft has added some Microsoft Edge specific functionality to the shell that runs on top of this web engine. One of these features comes from the old Microsoft Edge browser, namely the availability of various feeds on the new tab page. But Microsoft has upgraded this functionality and introduced the 4 new modes on the New tab page. A user can select any mode or create a new custom tab page as desired.

Change the layout of the new tabbed page in Edge

There are 4 new tab page modes on the new Microsoft Edge web browser based on the Chromium web engine. They are:

1. Concentrated.
2. Inspiring.
3. Informative.
4. Customs.

1] Concentrate

This mode is the new basic tab page you find on Google Chrome. It removes everything and simply displays an address bar from the search bar and the most visited websites for the user with a solid color in the background.

2] Inspiring

"This is the default layout of the new Microsoft Edge web browser based on the Chromium engine. In this, the user obtains the Bing image of the day as a background as well as the elements found with the Focused mode. However, if the user scrolls down, he will find feeds and data like temperature, news, etc. which are highly customizable and linked to the user's Microsoft account.

3] Informational

This mode was mainly focused on getting all the information by the user in one place. It can be defined as the new tab layout in inspirational mode, but the Bing image of the day is moved up and the bottom half of the screen is filled with the feeds we discussed above. Along with that, there is the address bar or the search bar and the most visited websites for the user.

4] Custom

This mode is intended for users who prefer a particular mixture of one of these modes. When this option is selected, the user can enable or disable the following options:

• Show quick links.
• Image of the day.
• Show welcome message
• Content visibility.

In order to change these modes, the user must open the new tab page.

On the web page, select the gears icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

And the new mode can now be selected according to user preferences.

I hope you find this little tip useful.
