Windows 10: Has anyone managed to tweak the News and Interests taskbar to their preference?

Honestly, this feature is more of a bother than anything else. But I'm trying to figure out how to tweak or mod the taskbar to actually be useful for what I need.

Manage interests button not working in new News & Interests taskbar

ah, very good information thank you! In my case, I ultimately want to use edgedeflector, at least for now. I just wanted to know how to recover should I change my mind and now I do

The one issue it created as I mentioned was surrounding brave. I cant manage my interests without it opening in edge so having my cake and eating it too seemed impossible.

Something that was suggested to me (that I admittedly havent gotten around to yet as its small potatoes but "should" potentially work) is disguising brave (or your preferred browser) user agent as edge for msn.com or whatever the url is that manage news & interests calls for.
