Like you, I had no desire to see the news feed upon startup OR when I open a new tab.

First, navigate to Edge's settings using the three dots on the upper right hand side of the window

Next, navigate to "Start, home, and new tabs"

In the "Start, home, and new tabs" section, I personally have it set to a couple sites/tools I use regularly for work, but you can set it to "Open the new tab page" which I'll get to below.

Edge handles new tabs separately and you are required to "personalize" the new tab layout. To do this, while still on the "Start, home, and new tabs" settings page, scroll down to "New tab page" then click "Customize"

Now, on the top right, click the cog icon and select "Custom"

Here, you can remove all "features" and content

Now, your new tabs should open up to something that resembles this, and if you set your startup page to "Open the new tab page" it should show this upon startup as well. :)

Hope this helps everyone!

    The Official word.

    Why can't I uninstall Microsoft Edge?

    You can make Edge all but invisible.

    If you don't use Edge, don't intend to use Edge, here are procedures/settings that will keep Edge out of sight, out of mind.

    When Internet Explorer was my default browser, I never saw or heard from Edge unless I deliberately open it.

    1. Set Internet Explorer or another browser as the default browser.

    1. Same link as #1. Set Adobe Reader or another program as the default for opening PDF files, instead of Edge.
    2. Since Cortana is going to search the web with Edge and Bing, don't search the web with Cortana. Use Internet Explorer or another browser to go to your preferred search page or search from the Address Bar.

    Or...

    1. Disable Edge by renaming exe files
