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.

Mini menus are now available on web pages in Edge Canary, you can enable them with the Mini Menus on Text Selection option. In one of the recent updates to Edge Stable, Microsoft added new mini menus for PDF documents. Those menus simplify the user experience and remove unnecessary options, leaving only the most frequently used features. Microsoft continues working on the idea and now offers simplified menus for all web pages in Edge.

Here is how to remove Search in Sidebar Context Menu in Microsoft Edge in case you do not like how this feature works or simply want to clean up the context menu.

Search in Sidebar is an Edge feature that Microsoft introduced in 2020. It allows you quickly find some information in a dedicated sidebar without switching to a separate tab. Search results show up in a pane on the right side of the page, showing you web results like definitions, web links, images, videos, etc. Search in Sidebar is similar to the "Ask Cortana" feature in Edge Legacy. It does not use Microsoft's voice assistant, but it comes with additional, previously unavailable capabilities.

Edge Dev build 92.0.891.1 is today's release to Insiders with a galore of major improvements made to the browser. These include a new theme for the Immersive Reader feature, and a number of new options for vertical tabs. You can finally enable/disable them in all open browser windows, and even hide the title bar with vertical tabs enabled.

Microsoft released the first public version of the Chromium-based Edge browser a little more than a year ago. It brought much more than a new rendering engine and a fresh icon. With Edge Chromium, Microsoft changed how it develops the browser. Now users get drastically more frequent updates and an entire pack of preview channels to test. Before Edge Chromium, Microsoft simply offered two versions of the browser: stable and preview. Moreover, the latter was available only in Windows 10 preview builds. To test early versions of Microsoft Edge, users had to accept the risks of facing some bugs and instabilities on the OS level.

Not so long ago, Microsoft introduced a new Edge browser for Android that now shares a single code base with its desktop counterparts. As a result, the mobile version is now quickly catching up with features previously available only on Windows or macOS. In the latest update to Edge Canary, Microsoft has brought improved translation capabilities to Android.

Recently, Edge users began complaining about YouTube issues in the browser from Microsoft. The application stops responding and consumes enormous amounts of RAM, eventually crashing entirely. One of the Microsoft's engineers confirmed the problem on Reddit and offered users to download Edge Canary as a temporary solution. According to the information from a Microsoft software engineer, Edge Canary was already containing a fix for the problem. Now, that fix is available in the stable channel.

Microsoft has updated the Dev channel of Edge with a new build 92.0.884.2. Also, the company made available Edge 91 Beta for Linux, and also noted that the Linux Dev build may be delayed due to undisclosed issues, or even cancelled.

The released Edge Dev build adds two new features, Guided Switch and Fit To Page and Print as Actual Size for Print Preview.
