If you are using the Edge browser and you want to add, remove, or manage Quick Links on the New Tab page in Edge, then you can follow this tutorial. It is possible to edit all the quick links or add and remove them according to your requirements. Although the browser generates them as per your browsing frequency, you can show or hide them, as required.
Microsoft Edge displays a feature-rich new tab page that allows users to customize it as per their requirements. It is possible to choose Focused, Inspirational, Informational, etc. so that you can see different elements on the new tab page. Even if you have changed the new tab page layout, but have added the “Quick links” section, you can follow this guide.
How to add Quick Links on New Tab page in Edge
To add quick links on the New tab page in the Microsoft Edge browser, follow these steps-
- Open the Edge browser on your computer.
- Click on the plus (+) sign on the new tab page.
- Add a website name and URL.
- Click the Add button.
Open the Edge browser on your computer and make sure that you are on a new tab page where existing quick links are already visible. If so, you can see a plus (+) sign on this page. You need to click on it.
After that, you must enter the name of your website and write down the URL. The best thing is that you can add a custom webpage URL as quick links.
Once you do that, you can click the Add button. The new quick link should be visible immediately.
You can add only 7 quick links as of date.
Now, if you have made a mistake while adding a new quick link, you can edit it accordingly. However, the problem is that you cannot modify the URL. Edge allows users to rename the quick link only.
