How To Enable or Disable Suggestions from Pinterest in Microsoft Edge Chromium

Microsoft Edge, especially in its Canary build, introduces a range of innovative features to enhance user experience. One such feature is the ability to get suggestions from Pinterest in your Collections. This functionality, announced at the Build 2020 online event, is particularly useful for users who frequently use Pinterest for inspiration, ideas, or project planning. When enabled, Microsoft Edge uses your collection titles to search for relevant Pinterest topic pages via Microsoft Bing, making it easier to find related content to enhance your collections.

What Are Collections and Pinterest Suggestions?

The Collections feature in Microsoft Edge allows users to organize content found on the web. You can save web pages, text, images, and other resources into specific collections. With Pinterest integration, you can now receive suggestions from Pinterest directly within your collections, offering relevant ideas and inspiration based on your current project or interest.

When you enable Pinterest suggestions, Edge will automatically suggest content from Pinterest that matches the theme or title of your collection. This can be particularly useful for projects that require visual inspiration or for users who frequently use Pinterest for content curation.
