How to customize homepage of Edge in Android

Hello,

I’m currently using Microsoft Edge for Android (version 141.xx).

When I try to customize the homepage under Settings > new tab page > home page > A specific page, the browser keeps reverting to the default “chrome-native://newtab” page.

No matter what URL I enter (for example, https://google.com), it doesn’t save — it always resets to the default new tab page after closing the settings or restarting Edge.

**note, NOT new tab page. just HOMEPAGE(home button)

I’ve already tried:

1. Clearing cache and app data
2. Uninstall / Install Edge
3. Signing out of my Microsoft account
4. Disabling sync

Is this a known bug or an intentional change in recent Edge versions (v141+)?

If this behavior is by design, is there any way to enable a custom homepage again?

(Device: Android 16, SM-A356N)

Thanks.
