How can I set Windows 10 Edge to go to a particular page, like google when i open a new tab, ie google. This can be done in IE but not Edge?

I have tried the settings but it limits to 3 options, blank, top sites and top sites and recommended sites. I need a 4th option, custom or home.

    The answer, as you discovered, is that this cannot be done in Edge. What I do now is set the homepage to Google, or whatever you want, and Alt+Home as usual. If you really need it I suggest a different browser. – MC10 Aug 21 '15 at 00:08

The issue of specifying a URL when opening a new tab in the Edge browser is currently being addressed by Microsoft. There is a "work-around" solution available. Follow these steps:

  1. In the Edge browser, navigate to Settings > View Advanced Settings (located at the bottom of the Settings pane)
  2. Turn on Show the home button
  3. Enter the URL you wish the Home button to navigate to

Now simply select the home button after you have opened a new tab to navigate to the desired site.

    Lol, "simply select Home button" is not an option for 90% of users, if you can't let me to choose which page to load in new tab this is game over MS. I gave Edge a chance, but options to configure browser are scarce, not nearly enough for 2016. – watbywbarif Apr 01 '16 at 11:15

work-around - almost as fast as it used to be.

  1. Turn on the Favorites Bar in Edge
    (how to do that? Click/tap on the More Actions button at the top right corner, and click/tap on Settings. Under Favorites Bar, turn On (default) or Off.)
  2. Navigate to the page of your choice.
  3. Bookmark this page as a favorite by clicking the star in the address bar.
  4. When saving the page as a bookmark/favorite, choose Create In -> Favorites Bar.

To open a new tab, right click the bookmark of your choice in the favorites bar and choose Open In New Tab.
