Opening new tab with specific web page in Microsoft edge - Solved

The thread I found on this question was locked so that I could not post the solution.

Edge is Chromium based so you can install chrome extensions and get the functionality you want.

There is an extention for Chrome called: Change New Tab

You can find it at the following URL

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/change-new-tab/mocklpfdimiadpbgamlgehpgpodggahe?hl=en

Once installed, the extension will give you a pop up to enter the URL you want to open. 

Enter your_prefered_url.tld and then click the close button. Open a new tab to insure the setting was set.

This should solve your problem. 

I am using edge version 77.0.235.20 (Official build) beta (64-bit)

And since the OS selection forces me to lie, perhaps I will suit Microsoft for violating my Constitutional right to freely exercise my religion.

Contrary to the forced selection of Windows 10, I am running Windows 7 Pro x64.
