For better website compatibility Microsoft has entirely revamped the Edge web browser, using Chromium underneath. Users can go to Microsoft's Edge Download page to get it. The browser will eventually be rolled out to all users via Windows Update. It will continue to offer unique features, with powerful privacy options, home-page customizations, an immersive reading view with lifelike voices for text-to-speech, and a nifty Collections feature for web research leading the way. For a look at Microsoft's future plans for the web browser, read What's New in Microsoft's Edge Browser. The move should result in more site compatibility, but I'm concerned that it will further consolidate Google's ownership of the Internet, since the search ad giant controls the Chromium project. One side-benefit to Microsoft's decision is that it plans to offer Edge for macOS and older Windows versions as well as Windows 10. A Linux version is also planned. Edge remains the only brows

One of my favorite recent features in Windows 10 is the revamped Windows clipboard.  It lets you access several previously copied items—a convenience that's long overdue on all computing platforms.  You access the list of copied items using Windows Key-V instead of Ctrl-V.  Syncing the cloud clipboard means that they're accessible on other PCs you're signed in to, and later this will extend to phones via the SwiftKey add-in keyboard. You turn on Cloud Clipboard in a new Settings option. Note that according to Microsoft, "currently, the clipboard history supports plain text, HTML and images less than 1MB."

Microsoft Edge is getting an interesting visual change that will allow you to access your browsing tabs in a vertical layout. After a new update, Microsoft says it will allow you to set all your tabs to one side of the screen. The feature is officially called “Vertical Tabs” and it will allow you to access your tabs from the left side of the display. At the moment, it’s not clear if users will be allowed to change the location of the vertical tabs. Microsoft Edge vertical tabs feature is currently rolling out to the testers in the Dev and Canary channels. Vertical tabs feature was first announced in March and it recently began rolling out to a small set of users. After today’s update, you’ll be able to access this new tab navigation experience by clicking on a new icon located at the top left of the tabs. The new button lets you switch between vertical and horizontal layouts. Interestingly, you can also rearrange the tabs vertically. To rearrange the tabs, you can press and hold Ctrl

Microsoft has begun work on the major Windows 10 update due to land in the second half of 2021 – and the first update of next year will be a minor one. This rumor comes courtesy of Windows Latest, which claims that internal testing has already begun on the H2 2021 update codenamed ‘Cobalt’ by the Microsoft staff. The other possibility is that Microsoft is doing things the other way round in 2021 by not having a major update (H1) followed by a minor update (H2), as has been the case for the last two years. Apparently the plan for 2021 is that the spring update (H1) will be a minor affair, not introducing much in the way of changes, whereas all the big features will arrive with the second upgrade of the year. Effectively, progress on Windows 10 could be slowing for the moment, then, but there are some major changes expected for H2 to make up for this. That includes a big overhaul for the interface which we’ve been hearing a lot about in recent times, codenamed Sun Valley, which will brin
