You can send a tab to another device in Microsoft Edge on Windows, Android  and iOS. In this blog post, we will review in detail how it can be done.

It appears that Microsoft slowly finishes rolling out a neat feature that allows transferring tabs between devices in the Edge browser. Many users, including us, report seeing a new button in the address bar called "Send this page." Clicking that button reveals a list of devices with Microsoft Edge installed and signed in with your Microsoft Account. Those devices include Windows PCs, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices with Microsoft Edge. In other words, all devices with the latest versions of Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft has released a new Chromium-based build of Microsoft Edge 93.0.926.0 to the Dev Channel Insiders, which brings with it several new features as well as various fixes and improvements.

Microsoft released a new first-party extension for the Edge browser that allows checking emails in a dedicated small popup. The extension will let you access emails at any time from any tab without switching to the Outlook app or another window.

Back in April 2021, Microsoft shared details about the new Performance Mode coming soon to the Edge browser. It combines several performance-optimizing tools to help your browser run faster and consume less CPU/RAM resources. Although Performance Mode in Edge still hides behind a command (you can learn how to enable Performance Mode in Microsoft Edge in a dedicated post,) Microsoft has already renamed it to Efficiency Mode. Moreover, Efficiency Mode now has a dedicated button on the toolbar, allowing you to turn it on or off with a single click.

Microsoft Edge is now a fully cross-platform browser. You can use it on Windows (including older and even unsupported versions,) macOS, iOS, Android, and even Linux. To make your browsing experience as convenient as possible, Microsoft Edge allows you to send tabs between desktop and mobile versions of the browser. That feature is also known as the "Send tab to self." In the latest update to Edge Canary, "Send tab to self" received a much-required update.

Microsoft has released a new build of the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge app, version 93.0.916.1, for the Dev Channel. It comes with several new features as well as various fixes and improvements. This is the first build with the major version 93 for the  Dev Channel.

If you'd like to test preview versions of Microsoft Edge on your Android smartphone but don't want to risk bugs in the Canary or Dev channels, a new Beta version is available on the Google Play store. With the release of Edge Beta for Android, Microsoft now offers all preview channels from desktop on Android. You can opt for a stable version, Beta, Dev, or Canary.

Here is how you can open a website in Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge.  In June 2022, Microsoft will stop supporting old Internet Explorer 11 in all Windows versions, as the company wants everyone to move to Microsoft Edge built on Chromium. While regular users ditched Internet Explorer long ago in favor of Chrome, Firefox, or the new Edge, businesses and corporate users still rely on the classic browser.

It is now possible to change font in Immersive Reader in Microsoft Edge. The ability to change the font in reader mode has become available starting in Edge 93, first in the Dev channel.
