Windows 10: Microsoft’s new Edge browser for Windows 10 could launch in preview soon

Microsoft last year confirmed that it has decided to work on Chromium-powered Edge, the platform on which Google Chrome runs. Microsoft is expected to release first and early build of its Chromium-based browser very soon but the company hasn’t announced any ETA.

Some early screenshots of the underdevelopment browser recently appeared online, pointing to an intimate release of Chromium-based Edge preview builds.

The image revealed that Microsoft isn’t planning to change the icon of the Chromium-based Edge, It will come with the same design as the earlier logo and Microsoft is using a yellow icon for the Canary version.

As you can see in the above screenshot, there’s mention of “CAN” label on the icon which indicates the browser is in Canary development stage.

The Redmond Giant hasn’t announced any ETA as to when will it be releasing the first build of its new Chromium-based browser. Microsoft could share more details of new Chromium-based Edge at its upcoming Build developer event this spring.

The new Microsoft Edge browser is expected to improve the browsing experience for all users but will retain the features of the current EdgeHTML based browser,

Microsoft Edge for Android updated with Picture in Picture mode

The PiP feature allows users to watch videos while browsing the web without having to close the videos. This feature was already released to the iOS users some time ago and now its available for Android platform as well.

However, if you are looking to use the PiP feature on Android, then you should be running the latest Android 8.0 Oreo on your device since the feature is not supported on the earlier version of Android.

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!]
