I decided to 'Switch to new look'.I toggled it off again, but the news feed remains.

I searched how to turn off the news feed off but the answer copilot gave me didn't. work. I didn't see a 'Turn off news feed' in 'Start, home and new tab page' like the article said.

How do I turn news feed off??

    To turn off the news feed in Microsoft Edge, use the page layout/custom settings rather than the “new look” toggle.

    On desktop Edge (new tab / Start page):

    1. Open a new tab.
    2. Select the settings cog in the upper‑right of the page.
    3. Choose Custom.
    4. Under content options, select Content off (this fully turns off the feed).
      • Alternatively, choose Focused to hide the feed until scrolling.

    On Edge mobile (Android/iOS):

    1. Open Edge and a new tab.
    2. Tap Page layout at the top right.
    3. Tap Custom.
    4. Turn Show feeds off.

    If these options are missing, ensure the latest Edge version is installed, as older builds expose different layout/feed controls.

    On the Microsoft Edge new tab page, select the cog icon > and turn off the option "Show Content"
