Windows 10: Chrome to get Microsoft Edge like tab preview feature on Windows 10

Microsoft Edge may have failed to gain the desired market share but the browser comes with some useful features such as tab preview. Microsoft Edge comes with a feature that lets you preview the opened tab pages without visiting them and it appears that Google is also bringing similar functionality to Chrome.

In Chrome Canary, Google has added two new flags – Tab Hover Cards and Tab Hover Card Images. As per Chromium Gerrit post, the feature is supposed to show a preview of the tabs when the user hovers the mouse over it.

If the flag ‘Tab Hover Cards’ is enabled, Chrome will start displaying a popup containing tab information and it is visible when you hover over a tab. When the second flag is enabled, the browser will also display a preview image of the tab. The tab hover cards flag should be enabled for the second flag to work.


Preview of tabs in Microsoft Edge

However, at the moment, the browser is unable to generate an image preview of the tabs when hovering. This feature is supposed to replace the tooltips for tabs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS.

While the browser is able to display a popup containing tab information, it cannot display a preview of the tabs at the moment.

Tab preview is one of the useful features of Microsoft Edge. It basically displays a visual preview for tabs so you can quickly hover over the tabs to find out the correct tab.

Google is still testing the feature in Canary and it could be released to the general public in a few months.

Thanks for the tip, Leo Varela!

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!]
