Managing bookmarks, browsing history, and downloads in Edge on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I cannot understand why Microsoft have limited the number of Quick Links able to be displayed on the home page to eight. I have been using Firefox for several years and found that with up to 16 available, I can cover the the sites I uses regularly (although I don't use all 16).
To not even, say, allow an option to increase the number seems to be unnecessarily controlling/limiting.
I have submitted this as formal feedback, I hope more people do so.

Yep, I'm in full agreement. Hope Microsoft monitors these request posts. Pittsburgh, PA

Yep, it's one of the most requested features, and if you check the Top Feedback Summary at the top of this forum, you'll see it's already in the works:
Planned Allow more top sites on the New Tab Page The more users who request it by submitting feedback (Alt-Shift-i in the browser), the faster it will go.
I submitted a request, too, but I'm not sure I have much faith that this sort of feedback gets much attention. It's actually really pretty important to me, as it's critical for my day to day browsing. I'm giving Edge a trial run to be my daily driver, as I'm getting tired of how Chrome manages (or rather, fails to manage) memory properly, but they're on at least a 90-day probationary status with me!

It hasnt seem to have come yet in December. Lets wait a few days. I will send a feedback abotu this as well and contact the edge team.
Hey, as I said in the previous post, there was a user that posted a screenshot of more than 8 quicklinks. It is in testing in insider channels. not everyone will see it.
I see several people recommend to use Firefox. I was a Firefox user for several years (having switched from IE when that began to fall over) but from around Christmas 2019 I began to notice that several sites I accessed regularly were no longer opening reliably or correctly with Firefox, and over the following few months i found increasing problems to log-in to several secure sites that i had been accessing previously without problem.
I switched to the latest Chromium version of Edge which largely worked better.
All I need currently is a higher number of links on the new page, which does seem to be in process of being delivered.
My personal experience seems to be that I can never simply rely upon a single browser for everything. I keep Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Opera installed and updated on my laptop.
