Figure 9-2. Left: Many, many operations in Edge begin with a visit to Settings, which lives at the
bottom of the menu (top right of your window).

For example, if you choose Extensions, you get a list of ad blockers, PDF readers, and other add-on
features (plus an “Explore more extensions” link to the full catalog online).

Right: Here’s where you can designate what you want as your home page (bottom).

New tab page. This option means “Open a new window with
whatever I like to see when I create a new tab” (“Tabbed
Browsing”)—which you determine using a drop-down menu here.

It’s called “Open new tabs with,” and it offers its own three
options: “Top sites” (icons for your most recently visited sites),
“Top sites and suggested content” (a combination of those icons

and your customized news start page), or “A blank page.”

A blank page—an empty home page—makes Edge load very
quickly when you launch it. Once this window opens, then you can

tell the browser where you want to go today.
