win10 64 bit 20h2 ver. now it is 22h2
ok i posted about having a house fire and now staying in the hampton inns. and i reset the internet to public. we can't do the phones as now we are out of data and my have to increase that soon. but i have a pc that had win10 on and didn't use for a few years and so i started it up today and it came up with win11 is ready to install and it did but now for some reason when i click the the plus on the right of the top bar where the tabs show up it goes to yahoo for there home page. i have yahoo set to open for my mail everytime i open the chrome browser i never had that before and it did not do this when win10 was on it a few hours ago.

ok i guess i knew that but what i was after was when i tap the + to open a tab a blank page opens. now it opens yahoo. but i will give that a try that may be what i did the last time and just forgot. we had our house burn down and this pc was a older win11 ready setting in a lower cabinet that did not get water and smoke so i revived it. again thanks

Don't use the + button, wheel-click or Ctr/Shift click the about:blank Bookmark I demonstrated.

Alternatively, use an extension such as "Empty New Tab Page".

... you'll get what the browser wants you to get, not what you want (irrespective of Start page or Home page setup to about:blank)

Don't use the +

Open the browser at about:blank and create a bookmark to this page. It will appear in the bookmark toolbar. Now every time you want to open a blank page, right-click the bookmark > Open in a new tab/window

This extension from the Chrome Web Store works! I just installed it on my up to date version of Edge.

Empty New Tab Page​


I got a few popups from microsft crying about it but only once so far.

The 'new' M.$ new tab page has a super sized "let us store tracking cookies on your pc!" popup at the bottom every time you open it. That was the last straw.

I also have my start page set to "edge://settings/content/cookies/siteData" because Edge won't remove cookies automatically no matter what you do.
