By default, Microsoft Edge displays a list of top sites at the top of new tab page unless you have customized Edge’s new tab page to show a blank page or display only suggested contents.
Top sites are nothing but your frequently visited websites. By clicking on a website’s tile in the top sites section, you can open the website. The top site’s section allows you to open your favorite websites quickly without having to type URLs in the address bar.
You can remove a website from the top sites section by right-clicking on it and then clicking Remove option, or by clicking the close sign on the tile.
Microsoft Edge automatically adds websites to top sites section of new tab page based on your browsing history. If it finds that you are visiting a website more often than a website that is already in the top sites section, it automatically replaces the least visited site in the top sites section with the new one.
Edge also allows you pin a website to the top sites section of the new tab. When you pin a website to the top sites section, Edge will not automatically remove it, even if you don’t visit that website very often in future.
Now, you might be wondering how to add websites to top sites section in Edge. Well, there is a provision to add websites to top sites in Edge. Here is how to do that.

To add a website on the top of the Microsoft Edge, the easiest way to do is to bookmarking method. Just open the browser and at the right side of the URL, you will find a star icon that is the bookmarking icon, click on it and chit on the ‘Add’ button to add the website on the top of the browser. it helps to access the website easily and promptly.

My blank tiles do not have a + in the middle and are inactive. If I click on them, nothing happens at all. How can I add my most used sites?
