New features
- Vertical Tabs
vertical tabs, a feature that helps you easily find and manage many open tabs at once. Microsoft Edge is the only browser that allows you to manage your tabs on the side with a single click. Vertical tabs is expected in the Insider channels in the next few months.
- Smart Copy
It will allow a user to select an area instead of the text. This will help in copying text from tables, graphs, infographics, etc., which usually leaves a mess when copied back to a document.
- Collections is Coming to Mobile
Microsoft Edge's Collections feature allows a user to collect information from different websites, organise it, and export it to various files. In a separate column, the Edge browser saves all of a user's links, images, and texts safely for them to come back anytime, or export to Word or Excel. This is a useful feature for research-related tasks like writing articles, research papers, or looking for material to study a specific topic. Collections on a desktop can be accessed from the Collections button on the top right corner of the browser window (next to the user icon).
- Tracking Prevention
The tracking prevention feature in Microsoft Edge is designed to protect you from being tracked by websites that you aren’t accessing directly, giving you more control over what you see and what you don’t. Whether on mobile or desktop, you can select one of three settings that’s right for you – Basic, Balanced or Strict. Depending on which setting you choose, Microsoft Edge will adjust the types of third-party trackers blocked. When I browse, I like to use Balanced mode which is the default setting. But I set my kids’ browsers to Strict mode. Tracking prevention makes understanding who’s tracking you online easier to see and easy to manage, and it’s available now.
- Password Monitor
The Password Monitor on the Microsoft Edge will now also tell a user if their credentials are up for sale on the dark Web. It will notify a user if the login details they have saved to autofill have been detected on the dark Web.
- InPrivate Browsing
it automatically deletes my history, cookies and site data when I finish a web browsing session. In addition, Microsoft Edge is the only desktop browser that offers built-in InPrivate search with Bing. So, when I’m browsing in InPrivate mode, my searches aren’t tied to me or my account. InPrivate browsing is available now. The addition of InPrivate search in Bing is available in the Insider channels now and is coming to the Stable channel soon.
- Immersive Reader
Microsoft Edge provides a reader a distraction-free mode for them to concentrate on reading an article. The Immersive Reader also throws up a number of tools that will help a reader personalise the page they are reading, like ability to adjust the text, or the option of reading the article aloud.
- 4K Support, Dolby Audio
the only browser that supports Dolby Audio and Dolby Vision on Windows 10.
- Give With Bing, Give Mode for charity
Microsoft also introduced a “Give With Bing” feature on Edge. The Give with Bing extension will help people make a difference by searching on Bing. Users of the Microsoft Edge will now reward users every time they search using Bing. Those reward points can later be donated to a cause of choice, from a list of more than 1 million nonprofits to that Microsoft has curated.
With everything that’s happening these days, one thing that I am trying to keep in mind and model for my kids is how small things can make a big difference. Whether that’s self-care or looking out for others. Today, we are introducing Give with Bing and the Give Mode feature in Bing, a new way to help you to support the causes you care about. It’s a simple thing but it has the potential for real impact. If you choose to search in Bing you can earn reward points for those searches as part of the Microsoft Rewards program. By turning on the new Give Mode feature within your rewards settings, you can donate your reward points to the cause of your choice. There is no cost to you, just search with Bing. With more than 1 million nonprofits to choose from, you can support a cause that you really care about – including the CDC Foundation and others that are supporting the COVID response. In fact, through the end of June, Microsoft Rewards will match all donations to help make an even bigger impact. Try it. Join Microsoft Rewards, and switch on Give Mode and give with Bing. Give Mode is available now.
