Recent reviews
There's nothing worse than a busy new tab page that distracts me from what I want to do. Edge's default new tab page is probably the worst I've seen as it's full of loads of unwanted bloat that you just can't get rid of. This extension makes edge a viable browser (I switched from Firefox after many, many years of using Firefox exclusively). It's a shame you need an extension to achieve this, but I won't use Edge without it.
