How to Change Home URL in Edge Computer

Suppose you’re an organization with an internal website listing all tools and technologies. Then you can easily set the page as your home page when you launch the Edge browser and create the link as a Home icon.

I have a personal blog, and I am working on it most of the time for various reasons. It is tough to search for it all the time or go through my bookmarks to find the same. After trying to find a solution, I decided to set my blog as my homepage, which will make everything better for me.

Next time when I launch the Edge browser, the new homepage will load immediately instead of the default new tab page.
