Top 10 Microsoft Edge Chromium Best Features
Hii guys welcome back . a crazy statistic is that now it's installed automatically on windows updates version 1803 or higher it will soon arrive on more than one billion windows devices in use a billion wow now i'm not going to go over the things but there are still things to be improved on unfortunately history and tab sync is still not supported microsoft have promised that that will be enabled this summer microsoft have also teased and are planning other new features such as vertical tabs which lets you stack tabs at the side of the window instead of having a whole load of them across the top more on that when it's released also they're looking at a sidebar search function which allows you to search the web without moving away from the current window you're on you can also highlight text and click to search in the sidebar sounds great and something which i'm sure is going to be quite popular is pinterest integration okay let's not dwell on it let's get into five more top features in edge the first one is a pdf viewer we all know what a pain it can be to sometimes open pdfs but in edge it's a doddle it opens up instantly allows you to annotate it and to write on it to erase what you've written you can sign it you can fill them out and you can print and save directly from the browser really quickly saves a lot of time so this is the pdf opened up from a web page or you could just click and drag it up into the browser to open it as soon as it's there you've got your page count on the top you can scroll down but these are your controls normal there you can just zoom in zoom out rotate and this is the draw you can draw on it wherever you want if you need to sign something you could tick boxes save or print all in the browser easy to do saves a lot of messing about number two is tracking prevention now lots of sites track your activity even when you are not accessing the website now you can adjust what website track your activity within the settings let me show you okay so to access your tracking prevention settings you go to settings and you go to privacy and services this will bring up this page now it is set as balanced as default obviously basic and balanced content is more likely to be personalized because as balanced it will only block trackers for sites you haven't visited once you visit a site those trackers will not be blocked anymore if you move to strict it will block the majority. how many and from where number three is multiple accounts you can have different accounts to separate your personal browsing to your work browsing there's even a guest account so it doesn't save your browsing history and all that sort of stuff let me show you how that works okay so on multiple accounts all you have to do is come over to the accounts page it's pretty much where the setting was in chrome you've got the account that you're logged in now and any other accounts that are down there if you want to add some obviously just go to add profile add a profile and you'd sign in sync your data or create an account it's the same place where you go to browse as a guest and when you browse as a guest you'll get told what it will and won't do so it will save you downloads but it won't save your history or your download history cookies or site data so as a family you can switch between profiles you can switch between your work profile or your personal profile and have different edge profiles set setup home page opening tabs that sort of stuff there you go number four is you can customize the new tab page which essentially is your homepage there's various different settings i'll show you how to do it okay so now you've created your new profile the next thing you want to do is personalize your new tab page or your home page now if you've imported your settings from chrome or any other website then some of these might be pre-populated for you if not you can set them up you'd add add a website and add them up but this is what the default setting looks like you come over to the cog and you can change your layout language is self-explanatory focus literally it'll take away the background and just give you our quick links and if you scroll down and give you the news if you've got that turned on inspirational just with a background so you can change that informational it'll show you and that's what i prefer so you can see the news of the day as it comes up now you can customize it on here with quick links turn them on or off or image of the day turn that off and the content whether it's visible as it is now you only see the headings you have to scroll down to be able to see it our content off totally and then all you have to do then is with your news you can go to personalise news and you choose what sort of news interests you and what sort of news you wants howing on your information page turn off any that doesn't bother you turn on the ones that do there's loads of different categories and when you open up a new page it'll come up as you do it so there you go and number five get a warning if you'revisiting a potentially dodgy site now you've probably seen smart screen pop up when you're trying to install some sort of program and microsoft doesn't like it it's quite similar to that within the edge except it gives you that warning if you're potentially trying to access a known phishing site i'll show you how to turn it on now so to turn on your smart screen for browser you need to open up your windows security once in there you'll go to app and browser control and then once in there you'll go to reputation based protection settings and you'll get a list of settings to protect your device from malicious or potentially unwanted apps files and websites and the one you want is smart screen for microsoft edge make sure that's turned on and check apps and files two separate settings but this will make sure that microsoft defender helps protect your device by checking any unrecognized applications and files from the web so like go hand in hand there make sure them are turned on and it will warn you if you're visiting any phishing sites that be marked untrustworthy there you go and my bonus tip now this bonus tip could actually be a video on its own edge has a load of hidden features which you need to access separately now there's loads in there and that's why i said there could be another post if you want to see the post on all of them i can go into it in more detail just let me know in the comments for this bonus tip it's going to be about dark modes now i'll quickly show you how you can ==turn dark mode on within edge but within these hidden features access by putting edge colon forward slash forward slash flags. you can turn dark mode on for all websites that you visit here you are have a look okay so bonus tip before i get into the bonus tip it's sort of related i just want to show you how to turn dark mode on in edge so here if you just go to settings and then go to appearance the first thing you get to is default theme and that's how you change it from light to dark i know a lot of people prefer the dark mode it's easy to read i'm one of them so that's how you can turn that on okay so the hidden settings which there's hundreds in there so i can't go through them all but this is why i chose it probably do another video just on this itself but to get to them all i need to do is type edge colon forward slash forward slash flags and you get to the experiments so the a lot of these are in dev these are all in beta testing okay so let's go before we turn it on i'll just let's go to a website first so this is sky news this is the website we're going tovis it after we turn on dark mode that's what it usually looks like once you're in experiments you just type dark you'll get this force mode for dark mode for web contents okay if you enable that restart edge it'll bring you back to this and now if we go to that web page you'll see it's now dark so it forces dart mode for websites it won't work for all of them but the ones i've tested it works pretty well so it just goes along with the dark theme if that's what you're running in the browser and on the computer as a whole there you go so there you go five more tips and a bonus if you really want me to going to the bonus and the edge flags and the hidden features let me know below i can do a whole post on that there's loads of settings within there if that was useful for you please give me a like i'd love it if you could subscribe up here i've got loads more things planned and if you want to see some more videos i'll stick one up here guys thanks for watching i appreciate support .see you next time !
