If you're not really a big Edge browser fan but still like the way new tabs display, with news, weather info and your visited websites and currently use Chrome, you're in big luck. Microsoft News New Tab is an extension that allows you to do exactly that, meaning have an Edge-looking new tab on your Chrome browser. In many ways, this is a good move because Microsoft makes its presence felt on Chrome while also making a big number of individuals happy for allowing its apps and add-ons to be incorporated in other browsers and with other brands.

If you've recently transferred from Edge, this might be one way to make your Chrome experience as edgy as possible, if that's what you wish. The new tab page looks exactly like on Microsoft's own browser. You can change the area for which you receive news, decide on the city you want to receive forecasts for and arrange the websites you browse mostly in the specific area created above the news flow. As far as arrangement is concerned, everything fits in well. It seems natural. You can even conduct searches with Bing if you'd rather use that.

The news flow is not at all bothersome. In fact, it's quite informative. News, as well as forecasts, are accurate and if clicked can give further details. The weather widget will expand and offer you a comprehensive view of the following days and the associated weather for them. The main purpose of this new tab page add-on is to keep you informed while giving you a taste of Microsoft in your Chrome browser. While it may not be revolutionary, nor filled with functionality, one must agree, provided that what it offers is of any interest, that this extension is welcomed in the chrome store.

Microsoft News New Tab was an interesting idea and move made by MS in order to show its flexible nature. It tries to attract individuals and offer features that might have been at some point exclusive to its own products. With add-ons such as these, you get to combine what you like from many worlds into an experience that is tailored completely to your needs and wants. With this in mind, even though it might not be an extraordinarily important extension, News New Tab might become of use to more people than those currently using Edge.
