How To Customize Top Sites and Suggested Content in Microsoft Edge

One of the options to open a new tab in Microsoft Edge is called “Top sites and suggested content“, which is also the default setting for Start Page. While Top sites are a list of sites you frequently used before, suggested content is simply a news feed powered by Microsoft’s MSN. It’s all preset with only a few little things you can customize.

Click the … button in Microsoft Edge, go to Settings, and navigate to Open new tab with section. Make sure the “Top sites and suggested content” is selected there.

  1. I want to be able to personalize top sites or set up a drop down of frequently used URLS so I can re-visit them with one click. How do I do this? Thanks.

    1. Actually, I am good with the frequently used URLs. Just don’t close the tab and there one click, when you need them. It would be nice if I could personalize Top sites versus the system selecting them for me. Thanks

    2. I would like to add more tabs than what is shown on my “Top Sites” so that I can just use my tabs to access them. How do you add more tabs? Please make it simple. Thank You!

  2. As of a couple of days ago the top site urls are all showing in lowercase. This is a problem for urls like a YouTube channel as those URLs are case sensetive. Is there a way to stop edge from turning all urls into lowercase?
