Finally Save as PDF landed in the Edge Dev!

How to save a Webpage as PDF in Microsoft Edge

You no longer need to visit the Print window to save a web page as PDF in Microsoft Edge going forward, Microsoft is saving you these extra clicks and steps with a new “Save as PDF” option in the context menu in Edge 95 Chromium browsers such as Chrome and Microsoft Edge, in addition to […]

"Save as PDF Context Menu option
Opera browser, which thinks differently from other browsers has incorporated save as PDF option to page context menu 4 years back with Opera 50.
Now Microsoft Edge is offering the same option in addition to regular “Save as”.
The two options means, you can save a whole web page and in PDF form as well. Most prefer PDF to share over email."

But the option is back currently does nothing when selected. It's a bug.

Edge Canary gets option to close tabs using double click

The latest Microsoft Edge Canary update has quietly introduced one of the most requested accessibility features: double-click to close a tab. It is one of the long-standing capabilities users have asked for more than 113 weeks. After a long wait, the feature is finally available, albeit currently only in the Canary channel.

The option to close a tab with a double click is available in the accessibility settings. It is disabled by default, so you need to navigate to Edge Settings > Accessibility and turn on the "Use double-click to close browser tabs" option. After that, double-click a tab with the left mouse button to close it.

It is also worth mentioning that Edge users can close a webpage using a middle button (wheel click) or the Ctrl + W shortcut, but some users argue that double-click is a more convenient option. Whatever is your preference, Edge Canary now lets you choose between the two.

As with other changes in the Canary channel, double-click to close a tab is available for a limited number of Insiders. Microsoft is testing the waters before expanding the feature to more users in other channels, so your browser might take a few days or weeks to receive the double-click to close a tab feature.

Edge Canary quietly received a new accessibility feature users have requested for a long time. Now you can close a tab in Microsoft Edge Canary using a double click instead of a middle click.

Edge will soon receive a built-in calculator, speed tester, and unit converter

Microsoft Edge is a browser full of various features and tools, both useful and not-so-much. In an effort to create a jack-of-all-trades browser, Microsoft just keeps adding more utilities to Edge, and it does not plan to stop soon. According to a new post on the Microsoft 365 roadmap (via Dr. Windows), Edge will receive three built-in utilities: a calculator, unit converter, and speed test.

Microsoft says august updates for Edge will add "your favorite tools" to the Microsoft Edge sidebar.

Easily access commonly used tools while you browse the web, including Calculator, Internet speed test, and Unit converter.

If you use Microsoft Edge Canary to test early updates and features before Microsoft ships them to the general public, you can already access the new utilities from the sidebar. In Edge Canary 105, it offers a world clock, calculator, dictionary, translator, unit converter, and Internet speed test.

It is easy to understand why users bash Microsoft for bloating its Edge with features not everyone needs. Microsoft Edge is so full of niche capabilities and features that its context menus no longer fit on one screen (Microsoft is working on fixing that). Still, having popular tools on the native level will prevent less tech-proficient users from downloading shady third-party extensions.

Edge Dev and Canary receive built-in launcher for quick commands

A long time ago, Google added a neat feature to Chrome that lets you access various browser features using quick commands. For example, you can invoke the search bar and type "clear history" to delete history without diving into the browser's settings. Now the same feature is available in Edge Canary and Dev.

For now, the quick commands feature in Microsoft Edge hides behind an experimental flag you need to enable manually. Navigate to edge://flags/#edge-devtools-toaster and set DevTools Toaster to Enabled. Restart the browser, and then you can press Ctrl + Shift + Space to invoke the launcher. Another way to open the quick commands bar is to open the main menu and select More Tools > Quick Commands.

The quick commands bar does not support every feature or setting in the browser, so you still need to use search in Settings to navigate around. Still, it is enough to perform routine tasks with much fewer clicks. Also, given the experimental nature of the feature, you can expect Microsoft to improve it in future updates.

Edge Dev and Canary receive built-in launcher for quick commands

Microsoft has finally added to its browser in the Dev and Canary channels a native "launcher" that allows you to quickly access different settings and features of Edge using various commands.

Microsoft is testing an image editor in Edge (Canary)​

Microsoft is testing a new feature in its Edge web browser currently that allows users to edit images before they are saved to the local system.

Spotted by Reddit user Leopeva64-2, the new feature enables basic image editing functionality, including the ability to crop, add mark-up, make adjustments or apply filters.

The new capability is tested in Microsoft Edge Canary currently, but only select Edge instances have it enabled. There does not seem to be an experimental flag at this point to unlock the feature.

They still haven't fixed intermittent Edge crashes when attempting to close a tab in the Windows stable build and not addressing it in Dev either.

 

[amirr]

Yes, that's pretty frustrating and unfortunate. I moved to Edge stable, forever.
