    Microsoft’s new Edge browser is about to get even faster


    In 2018, Microsoft ceased producing its own web browsing engine in favour of Google supported Chromium. The key differentiators between the new Edge and Chromium-based browsers are its user interface, smooth scrolling, a customizable start page experience, Collections, and transparent privacy controls.

    Microsoft wants its Windows 10 customers to give Edge a chance and rather than merely using Chromium code, the company is making Edge browser even faster. The browser relies on Google’s Blink engine, which is also used in Chrome, but Microsoft has managed to improve Edge’s overall performance.

    Microsoft says Edge is getting toolchain optimizations, a fundamental change that should improve the performance and general browsing workloads.

    According to Speedometer 2.0 benchmark, Microsoft Edge’s new alpha version is 13% faster than the Microsoft Edge 79 (stable build). Microsoft says it has measured Edge browser’s performance jump by testing user interactions, DOM APIs, and popular JavaScript frameworks used by top websites.

    The 13% performance improvement claim is based on tests that the firm ran on a Surface Pro 5 with Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB of RAM, and Windows 10 version 1909 Build 18363.592.

    Microsoft says users can test the faster Edge by downloading Canary and Dev builds. The company will also publish changes in Edge 81 beta, which will be released later this month.

    It’s not clear when the stable build of Chromium Edge will gain performance improvements, but it should happen by summer.

    Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

    "One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

    Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

    ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

    "Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

    This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

    Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner.
    "

    Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]

    Edge browser no longer displays the news feed

    I am replying to the above advice. Been there, done that. In fact, I did that set of steps before I ever asked for help here. Does anyone have any other suggestions? It is very inconvenient to have no taskbar.

    Thank you.
