You’re free to use another browser, of course…but Microsoft’s also adding features specific to Edge, too-like the new Alt + Tab behavior, below. It’s not all perfect I liked the way in which the older Edge handled PDF documents, though both the old and new Edge do share a lot of the same capabilities in this regard. Still, Microsoft has handled the change well, making importing old favorites and passwords a snap. If you’re in love with the old Edge, sorry: Microsoft’s forcing this change on users, with no way to back out. (Microsoft had said earlier this year that it planned to migrate PCs from the old Edge to the new throughout the year, so it’s possible that your PC has already updated.) Mark Hachman / IDGĪ quick series of transitional slides will usher in the new experience. With the October 2020 Update, Microsoft will begin swapping in the the new Edge for the old, with a transitional popup that signals the change.
You’ll see a popup like this noting that the transition to the new Microsoft Edge browser is imminent. The new Edge is efficient and smooth, though Microsoft still hasn’t quite managed to sync everything from an Edge browser on one PC to another, including a shared tab history. The new version is based on Chromium, the same underpinnings as Google Chrome, and the same extensions now work across both plug-ins. Windows is now on its third browser: the hidden Internet Explorer browser that still remains buried within Windows, the original Microsoft Edge, and the “new” Microsoft Edge that officially debuted earlier this year. Here’s the biggest change that the Windows 10 October 2020 Update brings: the “new” Edge browser.
Of the two modes, the October 2020 Update’s Dark Mode still looks better.
