However, the abundance of unnecessary features often clutters the simple browsing experience I’m looking for.
If you’re like me, here’s how to remove all the clutter from Edge.
If I want to read news, there are dedicated websites for that.
Why force it on us?
Luckily, Microsoft does offer an option to remove all this clutter.
Edge also has a quick link section with links to various websites.
These links are from companies that pay Microsoft to display them on the Edge home page.
In addition, the Edge home page also displays your area’sweather information.
Theres also a background toggle in the Page tweaks menu that controls theEdge home page background.
It typically doesnt use much system resources and offers a new background daily.
After making these changes, youll find the Edge home page much less cluttered.
It continues running in the background, using up system resources.
To prevent this from happening, you gotta deactivate the option that letsMicrosoft Edge run in the background.
Therefore, you should disable all those controls to get a better browsing experience on Edge.
However, as a general user, you are rarely going to need to access this menu.
Therefore, it’s better to disable it.
The next section you should edit in the Edge online window is its toolbar.
By default, the Edge toolbar contains a lot of unnecessary options likeCollectionsthat you’re rarely going to use.
It’s better to get rid of those options and only keep the necessary ones.
I would recommend disabling the toggle for all these options:
Furthermore, you should also disableWorkspaces.
It lets you organize open tabs into different categories.
If you use Edge for general browsing, you should deactivate the “Show Workspaces” toggle.
Adjust Edge Web Services
Microsoft Edge offers various web services to improve your browsing experience.
Therefore, it’s better to get rid of these services.
There are plenty of reasons to prefer Microsoft Edge over other browsers.
