Unfortunately, the first (leaked) build does not own all the features Microsoft has planned for Anaheim, but it gives us a better overview of how it works. This browser, at least until the present time. Accordingly, the new Microsoft Edge user interface will become neat, 'clean', and especially more user-friendly, although there is currently a lack of Fluent Design effects (hoping to get Microsoft added in the future). In addition, some of the features specific to Edge such as setting tabs aside and 'brushes' have not yet appeared on the leak. Microsoft has not made a commitment to bring these features to Anaheim, but said it is carefully assessing the features enjoyed by Edge users in the old version and will design to bring them back to this new version. . So, if you are a person who likes the specific features of the old Microsoft Edge version, just 'be assured'.

Stability will make the brand for the new Microsoft Edge version

First of all, commenting on the ability to support touch and scroll, this first build doesn't seem to be as good as the old Edge, but it is not bad enough because in fact, Chromium has come a long way in Touch support and operations such as zooming or touching, and these features work quite well. Going through a few forums, one can see that many people want to see Microsoft adding the 'rubber band' effects found in the old Edge, because they give users a somewhat more personal experience. . The lack of this effect when swiping around using the touch screen or touchpad will make those who are familiar with the old Edge feel something 'lacking'.

Talking about the stability of the new Edge, this will undoubtedly be the guideline in Microsoft's direction to develop this application. Although Anaheim was only developed a few months ago, the browser could be considered to have been years ahead of Edge, simply because its Chromium facility was a 'senior' platform. and place in the market. Unlike the original Edge, which is often unstable and less smooth, this new Edge has overcome the problem-solving phase, which can be said to be as stable as Google Chrome today. .

In fact, transferring web browsing data from Chrome or the old Edge is extremely easy and is especially stable, reliable, meaning you won't miss the beat when converting data between submitted platforms Browser.

A promising start for Microsoft

It's hard to deny the greatness of Edge running Chromium core (at least compared to the old version). In addition, because the core of this browser is Chromium and Blink, Microsoft can therefore spend more time building surface-level features, since the tool has been handled quite well by the source community. open. Undoubtedly, this Edge version is the best browser platform Microsoft has ever created, but the problem is whether it's better than Chrome?

Of course, it is still too early to confirm anything, but with performance-related issues, at least it must be 'on par' with Chrome. What will make Edge stand out is the variety of surface-level features that Microsoft built for the browser. Some features such as a better PDF reader, save tabs for later access, and contextual Cortana experience are all things that make Edge new and stand out from competitors. . If you choose to use Google Chrome because of good web visibility, Edge will be able to do the same.
