List of Microsoft Edge Settings URLs

Do you want to know the Microsoft Edge Settings URLs?

Well, Microsoft Edge is the built-in browser for Windows OS. However, the browser is based on Chromium Engine (an open-source browser project by Google), but Microsoft added some additional features to the browser that make it the fastest and most secure browser for Windows OS.

There are a lot of customizations and settings available in the browser and you can access all settings from the Settings page. But note that each settings page has an internal URL that you can use to access any particular settings page directly via URL.

So, in this post, I’ll show you the Microsoft Edge Settings URLs.

 

Now Microsoft Edge browser holds 5.3% worldwide desktop browser market share. For Windows 11 and Windows 10 users, this is the best alternative to Google Chrome browser.

As compared to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge also offers hidden features. You can activate the experimental features from Edge Flags.

The browser also offers internal URLs that allow us to access its internal pages. The internal pages are for developers and advanced users that help the users and developers for debugging and troubleshooting the browser-related problems.

Each internal page is accessible through internal URLs. I’ve already shared the list of Edge internal URLs and pages with their meaning and uses. To see the list of all URLs, just type and open edge://edge-urls in the address bar and open it.

Well, these URLs are different from the settings URLs. Internal URLs give access to hidden browser information that is required by developers and advanced users.

On the other hand, Settings URLs give access to open the particular settings page directly.

What are Microsoft Edge Settings URLs?

Microsoft Edge offers numerous settings for customizations that help users to increase their web browsing experience. You can access all its settings from the settings page. For this, click on the three dots icon from the top right of the browser window and select Settings from the list of options.

After opening the settings page, you can open different types of settings from the left navigation pane and customize them according to your taste.

Using Microsoft Edge Settings URLs, you can directly access different types of settings pages. These URLs start with edge://settings/ followed by a word.
