What you need to know
If you’re an Edge user, you already know that content drops come fast and often courtesy of Microsoft. However, maybe you don’t keep in the loop about when new items are slated for release or what freshly announced features just arrived. That’s why you should take a look at Microsoft’s What’s Next roadmap, which will keep you abreast of everything going on in the world of Edge.
According to theWhat’s Nextroadmap, a lot of new items are in development for Edge (via Redditor/u/Leopeva64-2). Here’s a rundown of the biggest items coming to the browser:
Though we’ve heard about some of these features before, such asTab Groups, much of what’s here is new. And though Tab Groups is slated for a July 2021 release, it’s still labeled as “in development,” just like all the other items on the list. Most of the features are slated for a September or October 2021 release date, so it’ll be a while before you see them appearing in Edge.
For the full, detailed breakdown of each feature, be sure to check out Microsoft’s roadmap. Use the filters on the sidebar to narrow down items to what’s been updated in the last week, and you’ll see the features listed above (and maybe some others, depending on when you’re reading this).
Infinite updates
If you want a browser that’ll be aggressively maintained by its creators and constantly flooded with new, useful features, Edge is the way to go.
