Windows 10: Microsoft Edge gets a new logo and built-in Surfing game

We’ve already seen new icons for Groove Music, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Camera and other Windows 10 apps. Microsoft’s Chromium-based Edge browser is also getting a new icon that no longer looks like the Internet Explorer and classic Edge browser.

Microsoft Edge’s new logo follows the Fluent Design standards with blue colours on the bottom and greens at the top. The logo features a lowercase “e” and the waves refer to surfing the web, an approach that Microsoft previously used for Internet Explorer with Earth logo.

Microsoft also unveiled a new Surfing game, but the game is hidden deep inside the browser and needs to be enabled by following these steps.

First and foremost, make sure that you have updated Edge Canary and Collections feature is enabled. After enabling Collections, open a random website and create a Collection named ‘Microsoft Edge’. Add the current webpage to the collection and right-click on the item to edit the name. Replace the current name with ‘S’.



Similarly, you have to open another three websites, add them to existing Microsoft Edge collections with U, R and F respectively to make it ‘Surf’. Once done, hold and drag ‘F’ item to ‘R’ and drag it back to its original position to trigger Edge’s surf game.



The Surf game is available in Edge Canary only and you will be able to access it from Edge://Surf page.

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!]

I just found the Microsoft Edge's (Project Spartan) new logo!





Someone at PC World said it looks like IE with a mohawk. I think it looks like IE with a mohawk laughing at the new Edge logo.
