Microsoft edge has several ways to
customize your browsing experience such
as changing your homepage choosing a
theme and installing extensions your
home page is the first page that appears
whenever you start your web browser by
default it's this start page but let's
change that by clicking the more button
in the top right corner then selecting
settings click on the drop down menu to
open Microsoft edge with a specific page
or pages click in the text box type in
your desired web address then press
Enter now whenever you start your
browser it will take you to your chosen
home page themes change the appearance
of your browser to choose a theme click
on the drop down menu select either
light or dark and edge will immediately
use that theme click anywhere outside of
the menu to close it extensions add
additional features such as blocking
annoying advertisements or password
storage to install one click the more
button select extensions then click get
extensions from the store here you can
choose from a variety of free extensions
so let's choose adblock to check out
details screenshots and user reviews if
you like what you see click the get
button and don't worry if the download
takes a few moments
once it's finished click Launch then
click turn it on to activate it
a tab regarding your new installation
may open feel free to read it or close
it keep in mind that not all extensions
are created or approved by Microsoft so
we recommend carefully reading the
details and user reviews before
installing anything to your computer if
you want to get rid of an extension
click the more button and select
extensions right click on what you wish
to remove and select uninstall click OK
to confirm and it will be removed those
