2024-09-06 Богдан Top for edge
2022-11-12 Joshua Absolutely perfect. Searches Google instead of Bing in search bar/new tab. I'd like to change the background though
2022-10-05 Nick A great, simple extension. Bought a laptop for my elderly father, and he almost immediately started telling me things from the spammy 'news' stories on the Edge front page (some of which were a bit scammy as well). This gives him a pretty picture, the edge logo, and a text box that just redirects to Google as his configured search engine. Perfect.
2022-09-14 Michel Minimaliste, c'est ce qui est attendu. Pouvoir choisir l'image ou une couleur de fond serait un plus appréciable.
2022-08-31 Peter This is the greatest, and EXACTLY what I wanted. Open a new tab, type a search into the address bar, and have Google Search answer instead of some other wannabe search engine.
2021-12-25 Daf I like it very much, because I don't like at all Micro$oft default new tab used to track everything the user is doing, so i'm using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, and I like the feature to launch a search with it in a new tab. I don't know if it's planned but the background image is not the one showed here, it's the Edge image with the logo floating above water, but that's fine, this image is cool. It could be nice if an option to place the search bar more at the bottom could be added, and maybe with more rounded corners. Thanks to the dev !
2021-10-12 Carl Hello everyone, Clearly this programmer is not a politician because what he says is what we get. In short, what he says is true! And he didn't put his extension "private" and it doesn't cost 1000% or more of its true value. Other than an Internet connection, a little time, a little disk space, and a computer, it doesn't require any money to run. In short, it is what this world should be: a world without money and without sharing. Thank you very much Mr. Vechro for this "Extension" / Add-ons!
2021-08-27 Greg Awesome. Serves a basic function oddly lacking in Edge.
2021-08-24 Lei Excellent! The new tab page is very much like the sample picture with no annoying ads.
2021-05-17 Timm seems a pointless extension and having a search bar when what ever you enter in there go's automaticaly up into the address bar
