I want more than 8 Quick-Links on the Edge homepage.

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.

    Firefix and other browsers manage.   Hopefully if it is included as an OPTION, users can choose up-to the maximum allowed and control the clutter themseves.

    It is in testing according to a reddit post and in canary/dev. Soon to Stable. They test stuff in those before rolling to stable.

    I can see why you would need them. You shoudl send feedback so they understand your sistuatoin. How would more than 8 quik links fit on one page though. I tis kinda of a clutter. Hope they figure that out.

    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.
