How to change Content Visibility in Microsoft Edge browser

Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser continues to carry the same name but is equipped with many new features and tools for developers. In this post, we will learn how to customize Content Visibility in the new Edge browser.

Change Content Visibility in Edge browser

The new browser has been built entirely differently and, therefore, offers some exciting tweaks that intend to improve the experience somewhat. For example, you might have noticed that when you launch Edge, you see Bing daily wallpaper images.

In addition to this, when you scroll down, you get all the latest news from around the world. While keeping yourself updated with the latest news and happenings is good, all may not like this feature and deem it unnecessary. So, here’s a way to stop this.

1. Launch Edge Browser
2. Access Settings
3. Customize the content visibility

Microsoft seems to have added this option to enable a more personalized experience.

1] Launch Edge Browser

Launch the Edge browser, assuming you have the latest version installed. The feature is not available in the legacy version of the Microsoft Edge browser.

2] Access Settings

On the New tab page of the browser, locate ‘Settings’ option – visible as a cogwheel icon.

When found, click it to display the different ‘Page Layout’ options.

From the list, select ‘Custom’.

3] Customize the content visibility

Now, click the side arrow marked against ‘Custom’ and scroll down to ‘Content’ section.

There, press the down-arrow to make different options visible.

Select ‘Content Off’ to change the content visibility of the browser.

Once done, you will notice that when you scroll down, the content is no more visible on the existing page of the browser.

Similarly, if you would like to make the content visible again, follow the same procedure as described above but this time, choose ‘Content visible on scroll’ rather than ‘Content Off’ under Content Settings.

Thus, this way you can customize the content visibility for the new Microsoft Edge browser.

That’s all!
