Last year, Microsoft promised a number of features for the Edge browser, and the most interesting of the group are vertical tabs. The technology giant has announced that vertical tabs are on the way for all Edge users this month, four months after a preview for testers was launched in the Dev channel. Tabs in the format are in a window on the side of the browser. With the layout, tab titles can be clearly visible so that users know exactly what they are clicking on, but they can also click on an arrow button at the top of the tab bar to hide the descriptions if they want the website they are looking at. to occupy most of the screen.

Another new feature announced for Edge this month is ‘startup boost’. It launches the browser in the background when users log in to their device, and it keeps the browser running even when all windows are closed. Microsoft says it reduces the time it takes to power a browser by 29 to 41 percent. The feature is enabled by default, but users can disable it in the settings.
Microsoft is also launching a new way to view browser history. Edge now opens as a drop-down menu from the toolbar instead of a full page that takes users away from the site they visit, and users can pin the lightweight menu to the side for easy access.
In addition to the new Edge features, the technology giant has also introduced a handful of Bing enhancements. The search results page now displays the most relevant results intuitively, and the carousel now displays information about the result when you hold an entry. Finally, the search engine now provides composite information for broad topics. For example, if you query ‘Kenya’, users will be shown a composite infographic experience with the best text and visual results.
