I went through the same process you did and tried to make edge work for me and failed. I don't want to be constantly fighting my browser to respect my choices. That being said, the following is incorrect: > Even after you change that there is still an un-changeable page that comes up on new tabs that searches with Bing / Copilot, and other various ways to trigger a search that use Microsoft's search engine no matter what. If you change the search engine to something other than Bing, a second setting appears that controls the new tab search. This is obviously a dark pattern to trick users (why would you want the new tab search engine to not respect your choice by default?), but the option exists.
