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.

    Because Microsoft can't afford to hire UI engineers with above average IQ.

    They need years to grasp basic facts about people habits.

    That's why.

    that's, finally, great, and for me 16 quick links would be enough. I normally use Opera web and I can have Many there.

    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.

    Regarding more than 8 links. I agree with everyone that there should be an  opportunity for more. I recently added a new link not knowing it would bump out the link to my bellsouth email website known as "currently". (which could be a  WHOLE side story of ATT ridiculousness). My solution right now was to add a favorite which was relatively easy, and as accessible as the links. It appears at the top of the page. Sorry I can't give a step by step as I'm very low tech and do not remember how I got to the URL box. I still use google  but I liked the graphics of edge so I use it too.
