Windows 10: Tabs not openening with home page

I have set Google as my homepage, when I open a new tab, this opens with MSN, is there a way I can set tabs to open as my homepage?

:)

 

home page/new tab

I would like to edit my "home page" (Edge) beyond just eliminating sports and money. For example, I would like to get the Washington Post, New York Times, Huffington Post, etc. and eliminate USA Today and many of the other sites on the page. Is there any
way to do that?

 

home page/new tab

thanks! I'm used to Google Chrome where I used something called protopage to pick and choose what I saw on my home page. I like to have a selection of my favorite feeds. I don't know why I can't design it. It seems I can only pick one feed to be my home
page - e.g. MSN which isn't really customizable.

 

Which browser are you using?

Me too - in 2005. It might improve given time.

 

I think it's Microsoft Edge

It might improve given time, it's slow and frustrating, patience is my teaser

 

Edge doesn't allow you to specify opening tabs in homepage.

Click the three dots then Settings. Scroll down to Open Tabs With.

Those are your options. You might want to use Blank Page and add your home page to favorites or favorites bar.




Also you don't have to use Edge. If you choose to install other browsers you can usually set tabs t open in specific sites.

 

Thank you, my preference is for IE, do I have to uninstall Edge, then download & install IE

 

There is a tutorial on that here:

Internet Explorer - you should have it already.

 

Thanks, almost sorted, the only other issue I have, when I'm on a webpage and open a favorites page, the favorites page overtakes the webpage I was on, to stop this, is there a way when I open webpages, they open in a new tab?

 

Open Control Panel:

Switch Control Panel view to "small icons" the click "internet options"




"Change how webpages are displayed in tabs" lets you configure options to your liking.

 

I've gone through the instructions above, ticked what I though would be the right box tabs still overriding webpages

 

Try these settings. You'd need to click Apply or OK as you close out of the window(s)

Also in IE at the top of the screen right click to enable menu bar.

Here is tab behaviour that I see with those settings.

Ctrl+Left Click, (or, Middle-Click(Wheel Click) if you happen to be able to use a mouse), opens a bookmark in a new Tab and switches to it immediately when configured that way:

Edwin, I don't have a mouse, as it's a laptop

 

Okay I get what you mean now. You want a favorite to open in a new tab. The only way I found is to use the Favorites drop down list then right click on a bookmarked favorite for option to open in a new tab.
