2023-05-26	Jack	Absolutely awesome. Thanks for giving us the choice to be able to do this.
2023-05-24	Pablo	Works perfectly :)
2023-04-22	nauduri	Works on canary beta version. Getting error in install on regular version 112.0.1722.58
2023-03-22	John	I do really like this extension - once you've set it up, quick and easy, it just does what it does. A great extension, that manage to suppress Bing, if you want to replace it with another search engine.
2023-03-16	Maxence	Bien mais se désactive automatiquement à chaque démarrage de Edge
2023-03-05	Darryl	Love it
2023-03-05	Rub'	Finally, a solution for the terrible and ***** move of trying to force you to use Bing by forcing you to use their start page ****** Microsoft
2023-03-01	Marcello	It works for me. Now new tab is of my choosing.
2023-02-27	Bruce	Note to developer: You app works well. I use Google for medical searches because it works the best and that is where I need my new Edge tab page set. However, every time there is an update to Edge they turn your app off. Is there any way in the registry to disable any changes or another way to prevent this? If I could locate in the registry where this change is, it would be easier for me to write some code that will quickly change it back. Any ideas?
2023-02-24	Alan	Extensions keeps getting turned off on it's own. I blame Microsoft, please update and keep up the good work! 5-STARS! F### Y## Microsoft!
2023-02-24	作	无敌
2023-02-12	Jason	I ***** HATE monopoly power!!! Microsuck!!! Google is no better as a company. But I preferer it as a search engine. Edge makes it so difficult to switch away from their garbage edge tab that the only way is an extension!! How many people will never find this option and resent using that pile of **
2023-01-31	Michael	FINALLY I have control over the page that opens in a new tab!!
2023-01-13	cod	Works as intended, don't listen to Richard, he does not know how to check settings. "Allow access to file URLs" If he would just click that button lol
2022-12-25	George	HAHAHAHAHA **** So, I installed this and MS disabled the addon by default. Not because it's a security risk or anything like that, no no no. But because it does what it says and changes my new tab settings. I had to go in and manually enable this because MS REALLY doesn't want anyone to futz with the new page layout. Anyway, great add-on, does exactly what I expected even if MS tried their best to stop it.
2022-12-23	Spencer	Edge's homepage has been causing so much lag....When I set it to google.com, the lag disappeared... Disappointed in Microsoft in many ways........ not allowing the users to change new tab page, and the homepage's lags...
2022-12-11	Richard	So disappointed to learn that this extension can ONLY accommodate a website url, and I cannot setup a local html file as my New Tab default page. As such, it's virtually worthless to me!
2022-12-09	Vikram	Thanks for making this! Hate it that all these big companies are flagrantly opting everyone out of control over their new tab pages.
2022-11-17	Tyson	I installed this because I want to change my new tab page to a local HTML file that is on my hard drive. I granted "Allow access to file URLs", but I do not know the formatting of the local URL that will work with this extension. This does not seem to work, as new tabs appear with a blank page. file:///C:/Users/myuserid/OneDrive/Documents/My-New-Tab-Page.html
2022-11-10	Todd	You have a typo on "Set automatic focus on adress bar". Should be "address". Otherwise works as advertised!
2022-10-12	Marcus	Does exactly what it needs to do. Works great for setting new tab to search engine.
2022-09-27	Wessley	Works perfectly
2022-09-08	Higby,	Cannot use a local HTML page as your new tab page.
2022-08-30	Carl	Works perfect so far - but I only installed it 5 minutes ago - finally no more damn bing search bar!
2022-07-13	Max	FINALLY !!!! I've went into the edge settings maybe 20 time over the last couple of years to see if I must have missed something... simply couldn't get rid of BING!. Now I can finally open a new tab and it's bring me to google. whew .. pure bliss! (Oh, I did give bing a try, really.. it just sucks. Never shows me the results I want.
