What's new in microsoft edge with creators update

Microsoft is anticipating the improvements that will come in its Edge browser when the Creators Update arrives in April. Microsoft Edge is the new browser that Microsoft included in Windows 10 and that came to replace the classic Internet Explorer.

What's new in Microsoft Edge

The enhancements to be included in Microsoft Edge are several and worth reviewing one by one.

Push aside a group of tabs

With this functionality we will be able to separate one or more tabs to be able to see them later. The tabs are saved in the memory of the browser and can be restored at any time and easily.

Virtual reality and mixed reality

Microsoft decides to add WebVR support to their browser to enjoy 3D content. At the moment, few sites offer this type of content, but Edge is already prepared for the future of virtual reality on the web.

Digital book store

The browser now supports epubs e-books and digital books can be purchased directly from the Microsoft store.

Secure payments with Wallet

The browser is now ready for online stores, with its secure payment method Microsoft Wallet. This feature was highly requested by boaters, to have a simplified and secure payment method.

Enhanced extensions

Edge already has a good number of extensions, but it seeks to improve what they can do. Developers now have access to increased browser customization, such as shortcuts, roaming data between teams, and the ability to securely link to installed applications. Extensions like Ebates, TrueKey, Ghostery or Roboform should be better now.

In terms of performance and power consumption for portable devices, Edge is already a leader in this field and Microsoft seems committed to continuing this with new features. The Creators Update is expected in April.
