I got sick of Edge constantly pushing penis pills and whatever pseudo-medicine bullshit on me. So I changed the settings to get rid of all that garbage. I did the same on my work computer, except it’s a dark grey screen with just a search bar. I only use Edge once in a blue moon on my own computer, but I use it a lot on my work computer because we use Azure for logins. It just simplifies the process a little. We also have a few antiquated systems that only work through Edge with IE mode.

I’m also not a big fan of Pocket on Firefox so I’ve got all that turned off, too. I haven’t exactly hardened it, but I’ve taken steps to just make it look clean. If there’s anything Chrome does absolutely right, it’s a simple, lightweight, uncluttered welcome/home screen that you don’t have to do anything to get there. Still ain’t picking it over Firefox, though.

I used to use Momentum back when I used Chrome so I’m sure that can also fix Edge’s trashiness with a simple add-on.
