Changing Quick Links on Microsoft Edge

Posted: 25-Jan-2022 | 8:01AM · 11 Replies ·

All the solutions I have seen for being able to edit the Safe Search Quick Links seem to apply to Google Chrome. I recently had to replace my computer, and Microsoft Edge is the very pushy and ever present operating system or whatever you call it. So, while on my old computer I could change my quick links in Chrome, I cannot in Microsoft Edge. I right click the existing links, no matter what row they are on, and I definitely do not get the option to edit or delete any of them.

If there is no solution for Edge users right now, please hurry to provide one, as it is quite disconcerting to look at half a dozen links that I have no association with whatsoever.

Thank you.

Quick links on the 1st row are sticky ones which does not offer edit/remove option

Quick links on 2nd row are custom ones, which you can add/edit/remove

https://community.norton.com/en/comment/8512073#comment-8512073 

Sorry, users may not remove Quick links on 1st row set by Norton.  

Users may Edit/Remove Quick links on 2nd row thru 3 dots.

Yes, I've seen this answer repeatedly in the forums. If the relative computer answering these questions had been programmed to pay close attention to my post, it would have taken into account that I specifically stated that I don't have that option in Microsoft Edge. Chrome does it, Mozilla Firefox does it, but Microsoft Edge does not for me. I have right clicked, left clicked, gone to settings and options a multitude of times, and still cannot personalize the second row of quick links. 

If there is a human available who knows what I'm talking about, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Maybe, Norton wants the first row as sticky links.  
https://community.norton.com/en/comment/8512073#comment-8512073 

Norton Safe Search is free.  Maybe, Norton Safe Search extension first row sticky links are revenue for Norton. 

Norton Safe Search web page - https://search.norton.com/ - all links are sticky.  Go figure.  $0.02

Yes, I understand from other replies that at least the first row of links is non-editable, but I was trying to either modify some of the second row links, or add one of my own...  This behavior is what I have seen in Win10, where I successfully did the edits I am trying to do here with Edge/Win11.
