The new Edge is here: so you can use Google as the default search engine instead of Bing

The arrival of the new Edge based on Chromium continues to generate news and with the few days that the Canary version has been available, which receives daily updates, already appreciated or at It is less intuited, part of the potential it hides.

Yesterday we saw how Dark Mode could be activated using the _flags_ instruction, in true Google Chrome style. And now we are going to see how you can set Google to be the default search engine in Edge and thus replace Bing, the alternative owned by Microsoft.

Microsoft chose to include Bing as the search engine for its revamped browser, but for all those who prefer to use Google, there is a remedy to achieve it. As they have told in HTNovo, Bing can be removed as the default browser in Edge, for which it is enough to follow these steps.

"

Once we enter the new Edge, we must _click_ on the Hamburger or three-point menu located in the upper left area. The objective is to access the Configuration screen"

"

Once inside Settings, we must look for the option Privacy and Services (Privacy and Services), on which we must press."

We will see an address bar at the bottom on which we will click to access the dropdown. In it we look for Google and change it.

"

In case it doesn&39;t work or doesn&39;t appear, we must add Google manually. To do this, what we do is access the option Address Bar."

"

Within the new window, in Options to manage search engines at the bottom and click on the button Add."

"

A window will appear asking us to complete three fields: Search engine, Keyword , and URL In the first we write Google SSL, in the second field encrypted.google.com and in the third https://encrypted .google.com/search?q=%s. Then we click on Add"

With these changes we can make the new Edge able to use Google as a search engine.
