Microsoft Edge web browser in Windows 11/10 now lets you add a Home button. While some of you may not find any use for the Home button, others like to have a Home button visible on the browser interface. When you click on this Home button, it will open the page you set it to open – maybe even your favorite website.
Add Home button to Microsoft Edge
Edge browser lets you show the Home button should you wish to. The procedure is quite simple. To show the Home button on your Edge (Chromium) browser, do the following:
- Launch Microsoft Edge
- Go to Settings
- Customize browser Appearance
- Enter a URL
Once you have configured the browser to show Home Button, it will open a ‘New’ tab page or a website you prefer in the current tab. See how to go about it.
Launch Microsoft Edge browser, go to ‘Settings and more‘ (visible as 3 dots) and select ‘Settings‘ from the list of options displayed there.
Now, from the ‘Settings‘ panel visible on the left side, select ‘Appearance‘ setting to customize the browser appearance.
Toggle the switch for ‘Show home button‘ to ‘On‘ position.
Then, in the ‘Enter URL’ field that appears, enter the address of a website.
Once enabled, the Home button will appear on the address bar.
Similarly, you can change or remove the Home button on the toolbar.
To remove the Home button, toggle the switch to Off position.
While this adds one small feature, we hope Microsoft will continue adding more – especially context menu items like Search with, Paste & Search, and so on.
