Microsoft begins public rollout of Edge 91, a new version with improved performance and new shopping features. Thanks to the improvements made to Sleeping tabs and the return of Startup Boost, the browser is now much faster than before. In addition, a number of changes have been made to the Edge shopping experience.

Several days ago, Google released a new Chrome Canary version with a new experimental flag that enables something called "Sharing Hub." Sharing Hub is a dedicated button in Omnibox (the address bar) that combines several sharing-related features: copy link, generate a QR-code, save a page, and cast a page. Because Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome use the same rendering engine, many new features in Chrome make to Edge as well. If you use Edge Canary to test new features, you can now access Sharing Hub in the browser from Microsoft.

You can now block ads in Microsoft Edge on Android, as Microsoft has added the AdBlock Plus extension to the mobile browser.

Recently, Microsoft released a significant upgrade for the Edge browser on Android. The Canary and Dev versions now follow the same Chromium builds as their desktop counterparts, thus offer more capabilities and a faster development process. Still, some features, for some reason, got lost during the transition, for example, a built-in adblocker. After a short absence in the Canary channel, Microsoft brought the AdBlock Plus extension back to its mobile browser on Android.

With Edge 91 in the stable channel coming next few days, Microsoft moves preview channels to newer Chromium versions. With a new rendering engine come new features. Edge 92, which is now available in Canary, brings brand new menus to web apps. That change makes PWA feel more like native apps and optimizes menus for PWA-specific scenarios.

Microsoft continues working on improving the built-in password manager in the Edge browser. In the latest Canary builds of Microsoft Edge, the company added new features to enhance the usability and security of your passwords. According to the Microsoft Edge roadmap, those changes will become available once the company releases version 91.

There are two ways to open Browser Task Manager in Microsoft Edge. This built-in tool is a useful way to monitor resources consumed by tabs, extensions and other browser processes. It is available in most Chromium-based browser, including Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

Math Solver is now generally available in Preview to Insiders in all pre-release channels of Microsoft Edge. It no longer required to enable a flag to access it in the browser settings. It is available out of the box in Edge Beta, Canary, and Dev.

Here's how to disable End Process in Browser Task Manager in Microsoft Edge to prevent users from terminating Edge processes using the built-in Task Manager tool of the browser. It is safe to say that every Windows user knows about Task Manager - a crucial tool that allows you to monitor system resources and manage running processes. While the default Task Manager works perfectly for regular apps on your computer, it is not the best option to control a browser. Edge, Chrome, Vivaldi, and other Chromium-based browsers are multi-process applications with a built-in Task Manager tailored specifically for browser needs.

Earlier this year, Microsoft brought to Edge Chromium one of previously available in Edge Legacy features called "Define." It allows you to find definitions for any word on a web page or PDF document. Initially, that feature was limited to PDF documents only. Now, it works on all web pages.
