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.

    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 did get an email from Microsoft that more quicklinks will be available on their new version.

    So wait for the updated version of Office, I think...

    I hit reply to Shawn Poh's post, but this is more of a general reply.  I noticed for about a 2-3 day period maybe 1.5-2 weeks ago, I had like 15 links available.  Maybe 13.  I'm not completely certain, but it was more than 8, not 16, and an odd number.  I also had zero control over what they were, I could only change the name, not the actual landing page, and when I tried deleting one it was gone for good, as I had no way to replace it nor did it get auto-replaced with the next most commonly visited site based on my usage.

    So it seems like I was a guinea pig of sorts for a possible increase in the total number available, but it was either broken or perhaps even knowingly hobbled when they rolled it out to me.

    I'd like to think that may be a sign that we'll be seeing something that actually works properly rolled out sometime quite soon, but if they thought whatever I saw was supposed to be working right, and they now know that it wasn't, who knows.

    Who knows...

    Hi,

    Yeah, those are called "Controled Feature Rollout" that means that some users are given access to future updates and yeah. So people can test it for bugs and stuff. 

    It is coming as you can see but it is not ready. Since as you can tell, some bugs
