Question

Windows 10 / Edge/ MSN. Want old home page back. New format

Aug 17, 2018 10:58AM PDT

I don't like the big block format on Edge/MSN. It takes way too long to scroll through all the offerings quickly, and decide what you want to view. I don't see any option to return to the old format either. Also the back arrow doesn't work. It takes you back to home every time, and not to the previous position you had been viewing. That makes things frustrating instead of helpful. What can I do to get the old home page back, and get my back arrow to work so I am not wasting my time, and being annoyed just to check on the news?

Here, We Simply Use A Different Browser

Have you tried that? Edge isn't my favorite browser and anything else is my first choice.

Hope this helps.

Use The Old URL

I agree that the old MSN homepage was much easier to navigate. I found the old webpage address, and enter that in Edge's settings. Here it is, enter it without the quotes:
" www.msn.com/?ocid=iehp "
