Microsoft is rolling out a new feature to Edge called 'Review Summaries', which uses AI to generate a summary of what people think about a particular product such as a smartphone.
Microsoft lets you search through the URLs for keywords or the website name to make tracking down the right link easier. So, rather than forcing you to click through your tabs to find the correct URL, or scroll down a list of indecipherable website links, Microsoft Edge will now present everything is a clean, easy-to-read, and searchable list. Simples.
Better yet, Shared Links are synchronised between devices, so if you’ve moved from a desktop to a laptop or a two-in-one tablet hybrid, you’ll still be able to quickly search for a link that you copied on a separate device a few hours ago to send in Microsoft Teams, Slack, Gmail, or another app. A similar feature is already available on Windows 10, dubbed Windows Cloud Clipboard, which lets you bring links and text copied on one Windows 10 device to another. But by building the feature into Edge itself, Microsoft ensures that you’ll be able to take copied URLs between platforms too, Windows Latest has revealed.
Microsoft Edge has, confusingly, been replaced with a new browser with exactly the same name last year. The new version of Microsoft Edge is powered by the same open-source Chromium code that fuels Google Chrome – the most popular browser on the planet, accounting for almost 65 percent of all desktop web traffic. In less than a year since Microsoft started to roll out its new-and-improved Edge browser as part of a routine update to Windows 10, the browser is now comfortably the second-most popular available.
Clearly hoping to capitalise on this early success, Microsoft is now moving to purge the previous version, which was built on the company’s own technology and was notoriously slow compared with the likes of Chrome and Safari, from PCs across the globe. From April 13, Microsoft will release a monthly security patch for Windows 10 that will uninstall the previous unpopular Microsoft Edge from any PCs that still have a copy lying around on their hard-drive.
