I've been trying to use the Widgets functionality, including the management tools and I like the concepts but it’s way too unfinished to be practical.

My Windows 11 is the latest Beta, so I would expect Widgets to work well; but this is not the case! Note that he build I'm on shows on my profile.

My Widgets and Feed selections are not always adhered to; mostly not.

Worse still, forced to display selected URLs in Edge; the MSN content does not sync with my feed preferences. I don't want to see all the content unrelated to my preferences.

My opinion is that the Widgets concept, good though it is, the product is no more than an Alpha C release.

There are a lot of Feedback entries about Widgets, some already resolved, but my opinion remains the same.

    This replaced my Linux Notebook. I've used Windows since V2, tried various Linux distros but Windows continues to win for me.
For a while, after culling the content that I don't want to see, there was very little being presented, correct ot otherwise. This morning, lots of items were fed to me but yet again mostly stuff that I have deselected/blocked. I've turned Widgets off for now.
