At the edge of tweaking
Microsoft is finally delivering its long-promised major update for the Edge browser on Android. The company started rolling out Edge 92 for Google's mobile operating system. It contains quite a lot of significant changes, both visible and under-the-hood.
Microsoft released an update for the new Microsoft Store app on Windows 11. Version 22107.1401.6.0 brings several user experience improvements and various "under the hood" changes.

As we move closer to the public release of Windows 11 somewhere this fall, Microsoft is expanding the scope of testing to get more feedback.

This article will show you how to turn on and configure Night Light.

Recently, Microsoft made a somewhat weird statement regarding default looks in some Windows 11 SKUs. During the Inspire 2021 event, the company revealed that it plans to ship commercial Windows 11 editions with dark mode and consumer SKUs with light mode by default.

After renaming Performance Mode to Efficiency Mode in the Edge browser, Microsoft continues improving tools that help you save resources while browsing the Internet. In the newest version of Edge, Canary Microsoft improved the Sleeping Tabs feature. It now can show you how many resources a tab saves while in the sleeping mode.
Windows 11 contains some quite drastic and visual changes compared to the good-old Windows 10.
