Microsoft is preparing an update to Edge for next January, and it will bring its share of new features. Vertical tabs, detection of PDF readers or the deletion of non-priority cookies, we take a look at what awaits you for the start of the coming year.
Edge is on the cusp of new features, Microsoft said. Even if downloading the browser from Chrome and Firefox has become complicated, these new options could convince you to switch to the successor to Internet Explorer. The firm is clearly aware that Edge’s popularity stems from its minimalist interface and the possibility of adjusting privacy settings, since the new products presented are in line with these qualities.
Already available to Canary Edge users, these features will be rolled out in a major update that will take place in january next year. Microsoft specifies that some will have to wait until March to be able to take advantage of it. Note also that Adobe recommends uninstalling Flash Player in order to discontinue its support. Some content may therefore be affected on the browser.
