Microsoft is working on a new feature that integrates the company's Microsoft Edge web browser better with the company's Windows 10 operating system.

Called "share browsing data with other Windows features", it is designed to share data from Edge, such as Favorites or visited sites, with other Windows components. Search is a prime target, and highlighted by Microsoft at the time of writing.

Basically, what this means is that users who run searches using the built-in search feature may get Edge results as well.

The new feature is being rolled out in Edge Canary currently, and it is not even activated yet even on rolled out systems. [...]

Personalize Microsoft Edge with built-in theme colors:

A few weeks ago, we officially kicked off our theming journey with the release of two dozen themes on the Microsoft Edge Add-on site. These themes allow you to change the look and feel of your browser profile with colors and imagery inspired by Microsoft 365 and some of your favorite Xbox franchises like Halo, Sea of Thieves, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and more. Sometimes, however, you just want a splash of color. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve made it even easier to personalize Edge with 14 brand new theme colors in Settings.

Beginning with today’s Dev channel update, we’ve updated the Appearance page in Settings to make it easier than ever to theme your browser. The Overall appearance section changes the primary look of the browser, including new tabs, pages, dialogs, and other menus. By default, Edge will try to match the appearance of your operating system, but if you prefer to always live in light or dark mode you can do that too. Like other Chromium browsers, this setting applies to all of your profiles.

"Microsoft Edge gets option to fade Sleeping Tabs"

Microsoft added a new option to the latest Edge Canary version. In case you are wondering, I discovered the feature in Edge Canary 91.0.838.0.

Fade Sleeping Tabs is listed as a new feature on the page. It was enabled by default in the Edge Canary test version.

The feature fades the icons of sites that are put to sleep in Edge. It is easy to overlook at first, but if you check the tab bar or sidebar listing after some use of the browser, you may notice that some of the icons are faded while others are not.

Faded tabs use fewer resources than loaded tabs. It is a visual distinguisher that makes it easier for users to distinguish between sleep mode tabs and tabs that are active.

Microsoft Edge's Sleeping Tabs feature will get a fade option for tabs in sleep mode soon. We take a first look at the feature.

Dev channel update to 91.0.838.3 is live:

Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 91.0.838.3 to the Dev channel. Before we get started, we wanted to make sure you’re aware of an opportunity we mentioned last week. If you’re a Collections user, we’re running a survey to learn more about how you use them, and as an incentive to contribute, you may even win some money! To contribute to our research, take the survey here: https://microsoft.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eWkUzl9D05MxqUS.

We also are aware that people are continuing to see Edge sometimes display its UI in an unexpected language. If that’s the case, we’d love to know more about it, and have started a discussion here so we can learn more: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/discussion-edge-displays-in-an-unexpected-languag.... As for everything that’s new in the product:

Added features:

• Sign-in and sync for personal Microsoft accounts is now turned on by default on Linux! See our announcement from last week for more details: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/users-can-now-sign-in-and-sync-their-favorites-with-....
• The PDF mini menu is gaining two new options! When you highlight a word, you’ll now see an option to search for that word or to define it. Those two options have been promoted from the full context menu due to common use, and you can read more about it here: Introducing Dictionary for PDF mini menu.
• Added the ability to open the Favorites, History, etc. management pages by clicking the Favorites, History, etc. name at the top of their respective popup menus.
• Added a setting to control whether or not Sleeping Tabs appear faded.
• Added a notification to switch profiles when a website or PWA is installed in one browser profile and you try to install the same one again in another profile. Note that this has been rolling out over the past few weeks, and is now enabled by default.
• Added a management policy to control if Application Guard Traffic Identification is Enabled, which controls if Application Guard windows send extra headers to identify to web pages that they’re being showing in an Application Guard window. Note that updates to documentation or administrative templates may not have occurred yet.

A special thanks to all our Linux users for helping us get to the point where we could turn on sign-in and sync!

Microsoft Edge gets Assistance Menu and a unified Startup & New Tab Settings Page:

Microsoft wants users to know Edge users about browser features, tips, and announcements through a dedicated menu from the toolbar. You’ll find the new Assistance menu similar to Download, History, and Favorites flyouts. And, the Redmond Software giant is creating a one-page –edge://settings/startHomeNTP” – to manage Edge’s On startup, New Tab, and Home page settings.

Seems Microsoft is fetching content from the Edge tips page and showing through Assistance Hub.
The Assistance Home is a controlled rollout feature in Edge Canary. Not enabled by default.

Settings are something that is not permanent. From time to time, Microsoft makes changes to them.
Some will be moved to a new place and some get merged into other related component’s Settings.
Till now on Startup and New Tab Page are separate Settings.
Microsoft combined them into one at settings > Start, home, and new tabs by bringing the Home button under Customize toolbar in Appearance Settings.

Top Feedback Summary for April 7:

Greetings, Insiders! As is customary with the first update of the month, we have a few items shuffling around with two being addressed! Let’s dig in!

First up, moving from Planned for March to Planned for April is Provide an option to prevent auto-play of video and audio when you open a website. We have done some work around this, and Insiders like yourselves have spotted that. We’ll take this moment to remind everyone of our definitions for these statuses. Planned for … is designated for when an item should appear in Canary, not necessarily when they will be marked as Addressed. If you’re curious about the definitions for the other statuses, scroll down below the table for those details.

Next, two items are being marked as Addressed. One we highlighted with the Dev channel update last week, Ask users if they want to close all tabs when they close a browser window. This is a setting that is off by default, and a request from users who were used to seeing this in Edge legacy, so we’re excited to bring this to users. Some web page fonts are blurry is also now Addressed, an item where some users had spotted specific non-Romanized languages were blurry. If you see any blurriness with fonts/text going forward, remember to send in feedback with a screenshot and details in the description of what you are seeing so that the team can dig in further.

Want to know how to get an item onto this list? Submit feedback! The easiest way to do that on Windows or Linux devices is by holding Alt+Shift+I to bring up the feedback tool, but all desktop users can find this by heading to the … menu in the top right > Help and feedback > Send feedback. We’ll chat at you all next week.

Project Robin comes to Microsoft Edge:

A new and mysterious flag has shown up on Microsoft Edge Canary. Called Project Robin, its description is cryptic, to say the least.



The entry notes that the Project Robin flag enables Project Robin features, which is rather unhelpful.
Thankfully one of the changes it enables is not that difficult to spot. Project Robin adds a new New Tab entry, letting users open a new Robin tab.



When you try and open the tab, it tries to open the page via https://dev.browse.trafficmanager.net. Traffic Manager is a Microsoft load balancing system.



An honoured contributor at Microsoft’s Edge forums suggests that Microsoft may be looking at bringing untrusted sites sandboxed by Windows Defender Application Gaurd to the same tab strip as your regular browser. Currently, such sites are loaded into their own window.
At present no further information is available, but I am sure it will not be long before the usual hackers tear the feature apart and reveal all the details.

Thanks, Patrick for the tip.

Microsoft is working on its own version of Chrome Tab Groups called Edge Workspaces:
One of our favourite Chrome features is Tab Groups, which allows users to organize their browsing and reduces clutter in your tab strip.
Microsoft is finally working on its own version of Tab Groups, and it is called Workspaces.
Similar to tab groups, users will be able to create a workspace and add tabs to it.



Groups will then be accessible via the W icon in the tab strip.



Unlike Tab Groups however it seems each Workspace is being treated more like a virtual desktop than simply a way to group tabs, which will likely make the feature unpopular due to requiring a higher cognitive load.
What is nice about Microsoft’s implementation is that Workspaces are automatically persisted between sessions unless you explicitly close them.



The feature is currently in Edge Canary but only to some as part of a controlled roll-out.

First Look at Microsoft Edge's Workspaces feature:

Microsoft Edge is getting a new feature called Workspaces. Workspaces are designed to improve the manageability of open sites in the browser, by using different workspaces for different tasks. The feature is being tested in Microsoft Edge Canary builds currently, but only available in some installations at the time of writing; there is a way, however, to unlock it in the browser.

Users who want to give it a try need to launch Edge with the parameter --enable-features=msWorkspaces.

A Workspaces icon is displayed in the top left corner of the Microsoft Edge screen when the feature is enabled. A click on it displays information about the feature -- Organize your browsing activities with Workspaces -- and an option to create a new workspace.

You may specify a name and a color for a workspace that you create in the browser. All tabs open of the browser are moved into the first workspace that is created. Additional workspaces start with a new tab open, only. Each additional workspace is opened in a separate window, while all existing workspaces stay open.

You may use each workspace just like a regular browser window. Microsoft Edge remembers each Workspace when you close the window, and you get options to reopen a workspace at any time, even after a complete browser shutdown. Workspaces don't get opened automatically on a new browser start; instead, a blank non-workspace instance is opened by default.

In other words: Edge remembers the sites and tabs that are open in a workspace, and provides users with options to launch these at any time. Workspaces can be removed as well, which deletes them permanently.

It seems that Microsoft Edge will support two tab management features in the near future: workspaces to use permanent separate browsing windows, and tab groups, to group tabs displayed in a window.

Workspaces is not an entirely new feature. Opera Software introduced Workspaces in Opera 67 back in February 2020 to improve tab manageability. Microsoft's version is not an identical copy but it works similar nevertheless.

Closing Words

Tab management options, like groups, containers, or workspaces, are being added to many browsers these days. The Workspaces feature fits perfectly, especially since it is adding permanent spaces to the browser that users can open whenever they need to access a specific workspace.

Tab management options, like groups, containers, or workspaces, are being added to many browsers these days. The Workspaces feature fits perfectly, especially since it is adding permanent spaces to the browser that users can open whenever they need to access a specific workspace.

Interesting development. Workspaces alongside Chrome's tab groups. I am intrigued by the word "permanent" this could also add additional privacy separation between different workspaces like Firefox containers now offers. Microsoft Edge offers two security improvements over Chrome and only one privacy feature (anti-tracking). With Chrome way ahead in installs and Edge just passing Firefox, it might be a good tactic to implement the cherries on the cake of Firefox into Edge to attract Firefox users.

Windows 10 gets Microsoft Edge Performance mode & Add text to PDF features in Canary:

Two new Microsoft Edge features have arrived on Windows 10. Microsoft Edge performance mode and capability to add text to PDF are now available for Edge insiders in in the Canary channel.

Microsoft Edge performance mode:​

Microsoft Edge has a new performance mode that can be toggled “on” in settings. It is part of a controlled feature roll-out and one needs to be on Canary Build 91.0.856.0 or higher for a chance to get this feature.
The blurb provided in the description reads, “Performance mode helps you optimize speed, responsiveness, memory, CPU and battery usage. Performance improvements might vary depending on your individual specifications and browser habits.”
When you turn on Performance mode by using the toggle, sleeping tabs timer becomes unavailable. While it is a a controlled feature rollout, you can turn it on using the below code.
–enable-features=msPerformanceModeToggle

Add text to PDF:​

This feature has landed with Microsoft Edge Canary build Version 91.0.859.0. Using this feature, you can add text to any PDF opened in Microsoft Edge with your keyboard. Though the feature works with pen too for touch screens.

The feature is in the latest Edge Canary, but appears to be part of a controlled roll-out, with not everyone having access to the new feature.

Microsoft Edge is getting better looking fonts on Windows 10:

Microsoft Edge seems to be getting a new feature that will make the text you see on the webpage smoother, clearer, and easier to read. The feature is called “ClearType“, which is a Windows-only technology that improves the readability of texts, especially on LCD monitors.

A flag for ClearType was added to Microsoft Edge with Canary build 91.0.862.0, but it seems to have been removed with today’s update (91.0.863.0). In the flags description, Microsoft noted that the feature is exclusive to Windows 10 and users can enable it to adjust the contrast and gamma settings.

I have enabled "ClearType Text Tuner" in my Windows 10 before. So I don't need to enable any flags in my Edge stable 90.0.818.42 , right?

 

[SeriousHoax]

I have enabled "ClearType Text Tuner" in my Windows 10 before. So I don't need to enable any flags in my Edge stable 90.0.818.42, right?

As far as I'm concerned, ClearType is usually enabled on most Windows 10 devices. The shared news is about Edge Canary. I believe by the time this feature reaches the stable version, it will be enabled by default. So don't bother looking for anything related to this in the flags.

Microsoft Edge to make it easier to move tabs to different windows and Profiles:

Microsoft Edge is about to make moving tabs between windows and different profiles a lot easier than before with the new “Move tab to” menu item in the tab context menu. The feature is available behind a flag in Edge Canary, here is how you can enable and make use of it.
