At the edge of tweaking

Here is how you can create a shortcut to News Widget in Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft has recently updated the Edge browser with a new "News Widget" feature. The browser adds a new taskbar icon with a flyout that displays recent news, a weather forecast, and gives you one-click access to the Bing search. In this post I will show you how to create a shortcut to launch the widget directly.
Microsoft has released a fresh update for the Edge browser in the Canary channel. The biggest visible change in this release is the ability to resize the vertical tabs pane. In its current form available in Stable, Beta, and Canary channels, the sidebar has a fixed width, making it a bit harder to read long tab headers. Now, you can resize this bar according to your needs. This change is especially welcomed on computers with ultra-wide monitors with tons of free horizontal space. It is also worth mentioning that you can change the panel's width whether it is pinned or not.
You can enable the system Print dialog in Microsoft Edge. By default, the app is using a built-in customized window, that comes with a large preview area, and extra controls on the left pane. If you prefer the classic Print dialog for advanced options it offers, or for some other reason, it is possible to enable it and disable the default one.
Microsoft is expanding the autofill feature in the Edge browser with the ability to find the required data from the saved form information. This option will allow the user to force insert the autofill data if the browser fails to recognize a form on a page. This is really useful and time saving.
Here's how to Show or Hide Microsoft Reward Points in Edge Profile.
There is one more update in Microsoft Edge. In addition to the new style of the theme selector, new Home toolbar button, and the ability to remove all saved passwords, the browser includes yet another change. If you open the profile settings, you will find a link to Microsoft Rewards.
Microsoft is working on updating the startup options in the Edge browser. For some Insiders, the browser shows a new page in Settings that combines what was in the 'New Tab Page' and 'Startup' sections with a portion of new options. Also, it brings the Home button to the toolbar.
Microsoft Edge now allows you to delete all saved passwords at once. The appropriate option is now available under the passwords section in the profile settings. The new feature reminds of the similar option in Firefox.
Microsoft today released Edge 90.0.803.0 to Insiders in the Dev channel of updates for the browser. This build comes with the mini menu feature for PDFs enabled by default, and also included a portion of general fixes and improvements. Here's the change log.
Microsoft continues to improve the recently introduced mini menu in the PDF reader of the Edge browser. Today's update brought an extra item to that menu that allows you to quickly find a word definition for what is currently selected.
One way to customize your Edge experience is to apply one of many official themes Microsoft has for you in the Add-ons Store. In contrast to Chrome Web Store, there were no third-party themes for Edge. Now things can change. Some users spotted two themes from a third-party developer, Stefan Van Damme, who stands behind the popular extension “Turn off the lights.”
