A new tab extension for Microsoft Edge

Hoome replaces the Edge new tab page with your shortcuts, folders, widgets and the background you choose. It installs from Microsoft Edge Add-ons, from Edge 111 on, with the same code as on Chrome. One point is still to be confirmed: the account, explained below.

Install Hoome on Edge, step by step

  1. Open the Hoome listing on Microsoft Edge Add-ons with the button above, then click “Get”.

  2. Edge lists what the extension will be able to do. Read it, then confirm with “Add extension”.

  3. Open a new tab. Edge asks you to confirm the new tab page change: confirm to keep Hoome.

  4. The gray bar at the bottom is a feature of Chrome 138 and later: Hoome shows its help only on Chrome, the one browser where we have seen it.

What Hoome brings to Edge

  • A folder zoomed open above the page: the full grid of its shortcuts, with the folder name and the rest of the page dimmed behind.

    Folders, the way a phone does them

    A preview tile shows 4 or 9 icons. One click and it zooms open on the full grid. Work tools on one side, reading on the other, and the page stays short.

  • Instant search: a few letters typed in the bar, and the list of matching shortcuts appears under it, ahead of the search engine suggestions.

    Type three letters, the site is there

    The bar filters your shortcuts as you type, and switches to your browser’s search engine when what you want is not filed with you. Enter opens the first result, Shift and Enter force a web search.

  • Close up on the three widgets: the five day forecast for the chosen town, a task list and a quick note.

    The weather, your tasks, your notes

    Three free widgets, off by default, that you switch on one at a time. The five day forecast asks for no account and no key, only the name of your town. Tasks and notes stay in your browser, unless you choose to sync them.

What works on Edge, and what does not

  • The free features

    Yes

    Shortcuts, folders, Essentials, the Dock and Classic layouts, the free widgets and backgrounds: it is the same code as on Chrome, and nothing is removed.

  • History, downloads, bookmarks

    Yes

    The quick access buttons open Edge’s pages (edge://) from the new tab. A switch in the settings removes them if needed.

  • The Hoome account and Premium

    Good to know

    Google only opened sign-in for the Edge extension on November 2, 2026, and the full test with a real account is still to be done. The free features need no account. So we do not promise Premium on Edge, and this page will be updated once the test is done.

  • Sync through the Microsoft account

    Good to know

    Hoome relies on the browser’s own sync, which its settings call the “Microsoft account” on Edge. No extension can tell whether your profile is synced: if it is not, your data stays on the computer.

  • Most visited sites

    Good to know

    The permission that supplies this list is part of the package shared by Chrome and Edge, but we have not tried it on Edge, so we do not announce it.

Edge themes

The Edge Add-ons store does not accept browser themes. A theme from the Chrome Web Store does install in Edge. Hoome has not published one yet, and Chrome only accepts still images, so no Hoome theme for Edge is online today. The backgrounds, animated ones included, show on the Hoome page itself, the one you see at every new tab. The themes gallery tells where each store stands.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hoome work on Microsoft Edge?

Yes. Hoome is on Microsoft Edge Add-ons and runs the same code as on Chrome, since Edge is a Chromium browser. The minimum version is Edge 111.

Can I sign in to my Hoome account from Edge?

Not with certainty: signing in with Google from the Edge extension was opened on November 2, 2026, and the full test is still to be done. The free features do not need it. We do not promise Premium on Edge before that test, and this answer will change then.

Where are my shortcuts stored on Edge?

On your computer, in the extension’s own space. If Edge sync is on for your profile, it follows them from one computer to another; otherwise they stay where they are. A JSON export always lets you keep a copy.

Can I install a Hoome theme in Edge?

Not today. Edge Add-ons refuses themes, and Hoome has not published one on the Chrome Web Store yet, the place a theme would install from in Edge. The background you pick in Hoome already dresses the new tab page.

Your next tab can be a tidy one

No sign up, no card, and your sites finally where they belong.

Brave installs Hoome from the Chrome Web Store.

On a phone, tap “Add to Desktop” on the Chrome Web Store: Hoome will install in Chrome on your computer, if it is signed in to the same Google account.
