Tab Search is now available in Edge Canary
Not so long ago, Google introduced a new feature called "Tab Search." You can invoke Tab Search using the Ctrl + Shift + A shortcut or a somewhat controversial button next to the window controls in the upper-right corner.

Recently, Chromium developers finally fixed the problem by redesigning the tab search button, which now looks on par with other window controls.

Windows 11, the new operating system from Microsoft due to release somewhere this year, comes with significant design changes, improvements, and, arguably, some downgrades. Apart from updating the UI in Windows, Microsoft is updating designs for other popular apps. Office, for example, received an improved UI in the latest update in the Office Insider program. And although Microsoft did not announce any major redesigns for the Edge browser, it has already received some Windows 11 exclusive UI tweaks.
