How to Get Rid of My Feed in Edge (Microsoft Edge) on Windows 10 & Android

Today, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) is one of the best web browsers alongside Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge has also a feature called “My Feed” on its homepage where you can find useful information and news. However, some people may not find it helpful and can distract you while browsing or searching for information on Microsoft Edge. So, in this guide, you’ll learn how to get rid of My Feed on Microsoft Edge on Windows 10/11 and Android.

Meanwhile, if you’re using Google Chrome mobile app then you’re definitely familiar with this feature called “Articles for you.” However, you can not completely disable Articles for you on Chrome for Android but you can hide it. In the meantime, whether you’re using Microsoft Edge on PC or Mobile, you can completely turn off the My Feed option and Edge is totally customizable, unlike Google Chrome.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is a Windows-designed web browser. It was launched first in 2015 for Windows 10 and Xbox One, then in 2017 for Android and iOS, and in 2019 for macOS. Microsoft Edge is a fast, secure web browser that gives you a continuous browsing experience from your Android phone to your Windows 10 device. The secure web browser lets you search the web, block ads, and view pages with a read view. Personalize your favorite browsing experience, reading lists, and save passwords to get the best browsing experience you like.

Furthermore, The New Tab page in Microsoft Edge Chromium-based includes three pre-configured layouts on PC and mobile apps which come with a set of elements visible or hidden on the screen.

The layouts are:

1. Focused

3. Informational
