Eigentlich ein Unding, das MS solche Einstellung nicht hat/Erschwert!!

It's a good extension and now i can get rid of the stupid microsoft edge new tab with news i'm not even interested on. And i don't know why Microsoft disables it for default if it's not a virus, maybe Microsoft doesn't want you to change your new tab page. And also when i change the new tab page microsoft says ''Is this the changes you expected'' and two buttons saying ''Keep Changes'' and ''Restore Settings'' because they don't want you to change your new tab page
