How to add a branded image to your new tab experience

Setting a different per Edge or Chrome profile background image is a great way to have some branding and quickly identify which profile you are using when opening the browser or a new tab.

Open your Edge or Chrome browser
If you are not in the new tab experience click the + button to open a new tab
Click on settings | Edit Background

Click Apply
Uncheck Change new background daily
Close the dialog box, note you might have to scroll back up to see the close button

Now every time you open a new tab or the browser you will see your custom background image and immediately know which tab you are in without having to glance over to the small profile image.

Tip: You can have different theme options, like SSW's dark or light background images.
