Microsoft Edge's Feature Roadmap provides users of the browser, developers, and Enterprise administrators, with information on upcoming features.

Microsoft notes that the roadmap "provides estimated release dates and descriptions for upcoming browser features".

The page is updated regularly by Microsoft and includes features, descriptions, the status, and the estimate arrival in Microsoft Edge Stable.

A feature's status reveals the Edge version it is included in currently. Launched indicates availability in the Stable version of Edge, Rolling Out that it is in Beta, and In Development that it is in Edge Dev, Canary or even not included in a public version of the browser at the time.

The roadmap gives you a 3-4 months glimpse at features that will make it into the Edge web browser in that time period. There is a chance that the integration gets delayed though.

The Edge feature roadmap lists the stable version of Edge that is getting the feature and the release month. A tap on a feature displays a description of it as well as tags and when it has been added.

The page features a search and filters to display features based on their status, tags or dates. An option to sort features by version or month is missing at the time, and would be a useful addition to the site as the current listing is not sorted by Edge version, date, or even feature name.

Another post about this roadmap form Neowin:
Microsoft publishes a more detailed roadmap for its Edge browser:
Microsoft has always been pretty transparent about the direction that it's taking with its Edge browser, at least compared to the Windows team. The Edge team has kept an enterprise roadmap up to date for some time, and last summer, it published a release schedule for beta and stable releases.

Now, it's taking things a step further by means of a revamped 'What's Next' section on the Edge Insider website, the company announced today. There's now going to be a roadmap published there, but it should be more complete than the existing enterprise-focused one. Microsoft describes it as "in the same vein as the enterprise roadmap, but including almost all the upcoming features for Microsoft Edge."

The team plans to update this roadmap with every Edge Beta release, so we should see new updates every six weeks or so. And if you're wondering when those Beta releases are set to take place, you can find the release schedule here.

If you compare the two roadmaps, there's quite a bit more on this new one; in fact, it lists new features going all the way up to Edge 91 (Edge 88 just shipped for Stable). If you want to check out the new Microsoft Edge roadmap on the What's Next page, you can find it here.

Microsoft Edge browser, which is now based on open-source Chromium, will be getting new features later this year. According to the roadmap, Microsoft is working on a new favourites menu experience where you can start typing to search your favourites instantly. In addition to the new favourites menu, Chrome’s extension menu is also coming to Edge browser.

One of the exciting features coming in the next Microsoft Edge update is a new font rendering system, which aims to improve clarity and reduce blurriness.

For business customers, Microsoft is planning to integrate Application Guard with MDATP, which should allow administrators to track threat activities.

Here’s a list of other features coming with Edge 90:
  • A new feature to ensure that cookies are not reused from a device other than the device upon which they were initially set.
  • Smoother and more consistent text selection experience in PDF documents.
  • Autofil improvements: Microsoft Edge will finally remember your date of birth, which you can edit and manage anytime in your profile settings.
  • Developer mode: The update will turn off the “Disable developer mode extensions” warning, which appears within the toolbar.
For the PDF reader, Microsoft also appears to be testing a new feature that will allow you to print the current page by selecting the ‘Current Page’ option within the print dialog.

Another feature will allow you to quickly search and insert your data in forms that don’t typically have autofill. This means you can finally explicitly search for your information and fetch that data in the forms instantly.

This roadmap announcement comes after the company started rolling out Microsoft Edge 89 update with support for experimental vertical tabs and sleeping tabs. Edge 89 also included improvements for security, performance and privacy.

If you’re interested, you should be able to test the other upcoming features by downloading Edge Canary builds.
