Microsoft has released a major update to its proprietary Edge browser. The stable version of Edge 88 has collected many interesting features that have been tested in the Beta, Dev and Canary channels before.

One of the most notable innovations is the appearance of the search sidebar. It does just that – search results can now be displayed on the side without leaving the main tab.

Another innovation will be available to all users by the end of the month – the ability to view Outlook emails from the new tab page. This will require you to use the same account for both Outlook and Edge.

Also, users will be pleased with the function of synchronizing open tabs. The feature has been available to Chrome users for years, however, the Chromium-based Edge debuted last year without this useful feature. Now syncing open tabs is available in both mobile and desktop Edge. In principle, the developers started distributing it a couple of weeks ago, but now it will be available to all users without exception.

Also, you can not ignore the topic. Previously, Edge supported Chrome themes, and now it has launched native Microsoft themes for the branded browser. Microsoft has created 24 new themes with different themes and styles, which change the new tab page, address bar and other interface elements.

The function of “sleeping” tabs allows you to save resources. We paid special attention to working with passwords – a new generator of secure passwords is proposed, password monitoring is carried out with checking against lists of leaks, and the procedure for changing the password has been simplified. MacOS introduces automatic profile switching, making it easier to separate work and personal. And these are not all innovations.
