Let’s learn how to add remove top sites in edge browser. Top sites mean the most visited sites are saved as suggestions or site suggestions in your browser. This suggestion many times helps us to find required sites easily.

In Microsoft Edge, the websites we visit frequently are stored as top sites in the browser; often, when you open the browser, your regular visit sites are already suggested in the top sites lists.

This post will show the Microsoft Dev Channel in Windows 11. You can manually change the top site using the DEV channel by adding and removing the option from the browser’s settings. You can download and install by clicking on the Microsoft Dev Channel link.

Though Microsoft Edge is developed using a Chromium (based) user interface, all the options are by default enabled; if not, you can allow them. According to the user’s requirement, they can change/modify the settings from the menu.
