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. Many users complained about how ugly that button is and how it stands out from regular "close," "maximize," and "minimize" buttons. 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.

Microsoft has released a new build of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge 93.0.933.1 for the Dev Channel. It brings with it a few new features as well as various fixes and improvements.

Tab grouping is a much-needed feature in a world where everyone keeps 100 open tabs and whines about how much RAM Chrome consumes. If you never close tabs in Microsoft Edge, you can now, at least, group them to make navigating that mess easier.

In a recent update to Edge Canary, Microsoft renamed Performance Mode to Efficiency Mode. Following that change, the company revealed more information on how Efficiency Mode works in Microsoft Edge.

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.
