I love commenting on the news, but the MSN guidelines are ridicusly left and woke...no freedom of speech and certainly cannot or not allowed to be critical of the left at all...

Horrible, I don't like it at all. I'm going back to the original if I can, otherwise I will find another browser. I don't like at all.

Sorry, not getting anywhere with it. Locked right up. Was used to seeing Outlook right there in front of me. No sign of it. Going back to previous version.

I contacted the developer and Google SIX TIMES with NO RESPONSE regarding this extension not working all of a sudden, I have had it for a year, and now, it doesn't work, checked all my settings, un-installed, re-installed, nothing. Google customer support sucks!!!

Why doesn't it support dark mode? I would've loved to keep it but had it uninstall it because of it.

It would be great if this didn't take over the Open the New Tab page setting. I would like to use the extension, but I want to click it when I want to, not every time I open a new tab. Not having an option to disable this without completely disabling the extension is ridiculous. Left with no other option but to uninstall.

The extension takes control of some settings such as start up tabs, search engine and site data management All that without offering the user any option to "take back" full control of those features. Besides, the display and touchpad doens't respond well while navigating in some websites.

This app doesn't work anymore, now it just redirects to the download page for "Microsoft Start" The only thing this app is good for is a couple more Microsoft Rewards Points

Extension is helpful but the search-bar should contain voice input option as its available in bing search.

Why cant i just use it without taking over the entire tab? And it doesnt even bring me the news feed.

Whose idea was that to take over the new tab setting? Installed, used once, uninstalled. Advice. Add the option for the user to select if they want it to use as a new tab (replacing whatever they have already installed) OR keep it as a quick access icon in their extension section. Additionally since many of us have quite a few extensions and that icon might one too many, add the ability to create a custom keyboard combination to be used as a shortcut to open a tab to display the MS news page. For the time being the extension has the most unwelcome feature to replace users' current new tab feature hence it's been removed until it'll be more flexible.

It's cluttered. Bring the new Copilot Powered Discover to everyone and every region. That design is way cleaner, simpler and has better recommendations.

This feels like a nerfed version of the MSN+Bing New Tab extension. Which is fine for those of us who don't need all the clutter. The lack of customization options - particularly increasing/decreasing the number of Top Site links - is the biggest demerit.
