2023-04-02	Qulfon	Działa. Szkoda tylko że trzeba instalować dodatki tego typu, jakby nie można było zrobić tego w przeglądarce.
2023-03-08	明政	終於可以離那些**新聞遠一點了
2023-02-24	楊嘉政	很棒不用再一直被強迫看三粒的爛新聞了
2023-02-18	John	Works great
2022-11-24	Jonathan	Amazing that Microsoft tells us we should use Edge because it's like Chrome but "from MS so you can trust us" when they have basically designed Edge to be nothing more than a click-bait browser for their MSN ****, and then don't let you change the default tab setting, and the default DISABLE any plug-in that tries to override this. THIS IS WHY WE DON'T TRUST YOU, MICROSOFT!
2022-11-16	Z	Thank you! MS has no idea what the customers want.
2022-02-28	Nick	The problem with this extension: each time you open a new tab, the extension "takes over" the address bar and manually types in Google's URL. This causes a huge issue, because most former Chrome users are used to opening a new tab, typing in a search query, and pressing enter to search for it. This extension interrupts that - the first few letters of your search get "eaten" by the extension manually entering the Google URL, lol. What you actually want is another extension on the Edge Add-ons store called "Custom New Tab" by maltejur. I've tested it, and if you use that extension and set the URL to Google, the issue I described above doesn't happen. Hope this helps someone! :)
2022-01-29	Carl	no problem now
2021-12-18	Patricia	It works but as a last step go to settings then Extensions to turn the new google tab on.
2021-12-03	Axl	Does exactly what it says. Kind of sad that we need an extension to change this. Faith and her butthole were wrong that she can change this in Microsoft edge without the extension.
2021-11-12	Faith	Google new tab my butthole. All this does it load google.com something i could have had edge do on its own. It doesn't have my links and other google new tab features like custom background etc.
2021-10-19	Nancy	Was good until: the latest updates for windows and edge, google tab is now grayed out and doesn't work. Even if you remove it and add it back. I hate Edge for so many of their stupid sh*t.
2021-09-26	Jason	Microsoft disables this extension as soon as you install it. You need to go into extension manager to re-enable it.
2021-09-19	Tareck	Unlike other "new tab page" modifiers, this extension does not need the permission to read and change your data on websites. This is secure, and it takes you to Google HP right away. Great extension, yet simple. Now I don't have to see pesky ads whenever I open Edge.
2021-09-09	McBryde,	Its so cute that Microsoft thinks they have search engine, install this and get on with your day....
2021-08-17	Joshua	Funny how Microsoft automatically tries to disable Google's search engine as soon as you download this
2021-08-15	Adam	This is what people are missing....😂
