How to prevent Microsoft Start page from coming up when I click on a news article in the New Tab page?

I just noticed it doesn't do it if you click on a Microsoft ad. Interesting.

This is happening to too many people to be a individual issue. Before I even attempted to find this page, I already cleared the cache, and reset edge. This is an issue on microsofts end, not ours. Please fix this! Is this microsofts way of forcing us to move to competitor? Although that makes no sense, that is what is going to happen as the current problem is completely unworkable.

On another note, this even happens if you copy the link, and open in another tab, or copy the link and paste it into chrome. For instance, when clicking on the article "US Records over 1 Million Cases........." it opens in a new tab to https://www.msn.com/en-us/feed . If I copy the link, it shows as https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/us-records-over-1-million-new-covid-19-cases-in-a-single-day-shattering-previous-record/ar-AASqr0R?ocid=msedgntp, but somehow redirects to https://www.msn.com/en-us/feed, no matter where i paste it or which browser i paste it in to. Definitely an issue with the links on microsoft's end.

ditto !!!! Aggravated !!!

Starting today (1/4/2022), whenever I click on a news article in the New Tab page, the Microsoft Start page is displayed instead. How do I stop that from happening?

I'm having the same issue, starting today. It's pretty annoying since my comuter worked great before, and I liked the layout much better. Tech companies always screw things up with constant "upgrades"

Not only does it redirect me to another Microsoft feed page, when I click on stories there, it just opens another identical news feed home page. It's an endless loop now where I can't get any articles.

I wonder if this is a ploy to get us to click more on other links so they'll get more info out of us? Well it doesn't work. I just close the MSN page and will avoid clicking on any more feeds until it's fixed.
