A new Microsoft Edge Dev channel update is now rolling out, and there’s lots of new stuff to check out. The big highlight feature in this update is the new price comparison tool inside of the Collections feature. There’s also the new favorites experience that Microsoftteased earlier this week.
Microsoft has seen a lot of interest in the Collections feature, especially when it comes to looking for stuff to buy. The price comparison tool builds on that experience that lets you hone in on the right place to buy something at a glance.
The new favorites dropdown is also revamped in response to some of the top feedback Microsoft has received. It now displays a “classic tree view,” where you can perform tasks like editing, organizing, and searching your favorites. You can also now pin the favorites box to the side of the your browser and much more.
Here’s a look at everything that’s new and improved with this update, from Microsoft’sofficial release notes:
The update is rolling out now to Dev channel users as version 87.0.664.8. It should install automatically the next time you restart your browser. You can also manually check for the update by heading to the “About Microsoft Edge” portion of the settings menu.
Microsoft Edge Insider Program
Microsoft is always adding new features to its Edge browser, but they always start with the Insider builds first. Canary gets all the new stuff early with daily builds, while Dev is more stable with updates every few weeks. Edge Beta gets updated every six weeks or so and is the most stable and final ring before hitting the public release. You can install one, all, or none simultaneously on any PC.
