How to Turn “Show new tab menu” On or Off in Microsoft Edge

This article explains how to turn the “Show new tab menu” on or off on the toolbar in the Microsoft Edge browser.

Microsoft Edge is the default browser in Windows 11. However, users can switch to their preferred or favorite browser anytime. Edge is based on Chromium, similar to Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers today.

Microsoft has added a “New tab menu” on the toolbar in Edge (Canery) that allows users to quickly create new tab groups and view browsing history and recently closed tabs.

The “New tab menu” in Microsoft Edge provides a quick and easy way for users to create new tab groups and access their browsing history and recently closed tabs. This can be particularly useful for users who frequently open multiple tabs and want to organize them more efficiently.

The “New tab menu” can help users streamline their workflow and save time by providing easy access to their most frequently visited websites.
