Force Microsoft Edge to Use Google Search & Remove Bing New Tabs

#MSedge #google #forcetabs #customedge
How to Force Microsoft Edge to Use Google Search or create custom new tabs.
Microsoft Edge is actually a really good browser, but it isn't Chrome, and for some that can be a problem. To compound this the new tab function in Edge defaults to a Microsoft Edge / Bing mashup that again isn't always ideal.
Also throw into the mix that the search options are different depending if you type the search in the address bar or the search box!
Lets change all this right now!

[@jflo2023]

Thank you, wasn't easy to find this solution, went on several wild goose chases before getting to yours. Very well presented, easy to follow and no rambling on about stuff that's not relevant. Of course it takes a fellow Brit to sort this out! So sick of Microsoft commandeering my choices. Well done mate!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped and good to hear from a fellow brit 😎

[@frederickjackson7877]

FANTASTIC, I have been driven to the extreme with trying to get rid of Bing when using Microsoft Edge and the intrusive onslaught it has forced upon my searches. Thankfully you have solved the problem for me. Thanks Mike you're a star.

[@mikesunboxing]

You are so welcome!

[@Aurora72mc]

Thank you!!! This was driving me crazy. Now i can get google every time I click on new tab. :-)

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped!

Glad I could help. Happy New Year to you too :-)

exactly!

[@uglybob7505]

Thanks Mike, followed your instructions and now my browser is called Bing the Merciless !!!!!

[@mikesunboxing]

Fantastic!

[@tcselementarylibrary8495]

This is so helpful! Thank you. I teach in an elementary computer lab and the Bing search nearly brings us to tears daily!! Back to a Google search for us.

[@Paul-me5tp]

I agreed with your views on Bing and this is an absolute PC saver. Simple to follow and has finally got me away from the urge to throw my PC out the window. Thanks a lot.

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped!

[@skystalker7700]

Thanks for the how-too, Mike! I suppose I am one of the outliers - I use the new Edge, and I don't mind the default Microsoft page - it is Microsoft News for me. The page has the Bing search bar, and I do use it for a quick search, and Google when I need it.

[@mikesunboxing]

edge is okay, i just find the bing biased search to be rather hit and miss for my personal use, but if it works for you then that is all you can ask for

[@mikesunboxing]

arylic i agree it is a good browser, but the bing bias is too much for me personally

[@mindcave]

OH MY GOSH YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! For as long as I can remember I've been torn between the fact that Chrome won't let people push the sound icon on a tab to mute a tab (only offering right click mute site) and the fact that Edge was stained with Bing. But you have helped me FINALLY setting up what I feel like is the perfect web browser!

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for the kind words Rob

[@justicewatch4602]

Thank you so much, bro? You don't seem that old so I called you bro. If Bing was a person I would have gotten into a bar fight with it. It was driving me nuts. Continued success.

[@mikesunboxing]

Thanks buddy appreciate it

[@ingridaviles8228]

Thank you! After searching and searching I finally found your video for what I actually needed, to have Google open on new tabs without having to hit home first!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped!

[@ElinaMaree]

Brilliant! I searched and searched trying to work out how to do this! Everywhere else it just said go to address bar setting and change default to google. But even with this, the bing search kept coming up with new tabs etc. So thanks heaps!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad I could help!

[@brianwebster7622]

I've been looking on KZbin for a while to change this ... yours by far was the best and simplest ... Thanks for sharing.

[@mikesunboxing]

[@mikesunboxing]

you are welcome and thanks for the kind words

[@katejones8705]

Wonderful! This was so irritating to fix! They literally trick you into using bing - I often clicked on new tab automatically and didn't realise it had switched to bing until I saw the dodgy and garbage results that popped up. Google seems to filter out the dodgy ones so the results are much better and less dangerous. If my default search engine is google, at no point do I want to be using bing! I shouldn't have to use an extension to prevent that! Thank you!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped :-)

[@PaulBakewell]

Since rebuilding my PC to the new spec 3 months ago, I have been meaning to do something about Bing! Totally agree about the search results. I will be taking action today. Thanks MIKE for the timely video. What's the difference between a quality microwave and someone who knows a quality search engine when they see it? the microwave goes Bing.

[@mikesunboxing]

paul i agree totally the bing search is generally awful as far as i can see from my results, even searching something like nvidia drivers it takes me to the highest paid malware site rather than the official nvidia pages. Very poorly optimised or just microsoft as usual just chasing dollars rather than making a usable piece of software

[@benable226]

Ugh... You're a life saver. I never would have figured that out on my own. Thank you SO much!

interesting to see the option of extensions, but what i really want to do is keep my edge frontpage cos i like the quick links (even though only 8) ... what i want is just to change the search bar to go to google, not bing... not replace the whole page... i already have google as default, but when i open the new tab it has bing there... if i could put google instead, i could replace one of the quick links
