Here are another 6 of my top features for the new Microsoft Edge browser 2020, Microsoft has included it in its new Windows Update. And a crazy statistic is that now it's installed automatically on Windows Updates version 1803 or higher. It will soon arrive on more than 1 billion Windows devices in use a billion. Wow. Now I'm not going to go over the things I mentioned in the last video. But there are still things to be improved on. Fortunately, history and tab sync is still not supported Microsoft the promise that that will be enabled this summer.

   Microsoft has also teased and is 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 than 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. let's not dwell on it. Let's get into 6 more top features on edge. 

   The first is a PDF Viewer. We all know what a pain it can be to sometimes open PDF but an edge it's a doddle. It opens up instantly allows you to annotate it and to writes on it. To erase what you've written. You can sign it, you can fill them out, and you can print unsaved directly from the browser. It 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 the page count on the top, you can scroll down, but these are your controls. normal day, 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 our print, all in the browser, easy to do, saves a lot of messing about.

   The second is Tracking Prevention. Now lots of sites track your activity even when you are not accessing the website. Now you can adjust what website tracks your activity within the settings. Let me show you. so to access your tracking prevention settings, you go to settings and you go to privacy services, this will bring up this page now is set as balanced for as default.

   Obviously basic and balanced, the 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 too strict, it will block the majority of trackers. However, some parts of the website and it might not work, those that rely on the trackers. So it's up to you which you want. You can even turn it off full stop and have no tracking prevention whatsoever. Interesting one down there, you can have a look at what's been blocked. Google. There we go. what trackers have been blocked and how many and from where. 

   The third is a Multiple Accounts. You can have different accounts or separate your personal browsing to your work browsing is 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 account page, it's pretty much where the same 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 a 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 won't 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, switch in your work profile, or your personal profile and have different edge profile setup homepage, opening tabs, that sort of stuff.

   The four is a Customize New Tab Page, which essentially is your homepage, there are 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 homepage. 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 other 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 your Quick Links. And if you scroll down, it gives you a piece of news if you've got that turned on, inspirational just with a background so you can change that information. Oh, it'll show you this. I prefer so you can see the news of the day as it comes up. Now you can customize it 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 don't see the headings.

   You have to scroll down to be able to see it. All content of the total. And then all you have to do then is with your news, you can go to personalized news, and you choose what sort of news interests you and what sort of news you want showing. On your information page, turn off any that doesn't bother you. Turn on the ones that do. There are loads of different categories. And when you open up a new page Come up as you do it. So there you go. 

   The five is a Suspicious Site Warning. Get a warning if you're visiting a potentially dodgy site. Now, you've probably seen smart screen pop up when you try 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 one. And 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 base protection settings.

   You'll get a list of settings to protect your device from malicious or potentially unwanted apps, files, and websites. The one you want his smart screen for Microsoft search, make sure that's turned on. And check apps and files to 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 they are turned on, and it will warn you. If you're visiting inefficient sites that have been marked, on trustworthy 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 are loads in there and that's why I said that could be another video, you want to see the video on all of them and go into it in more detail. Just let me know in the comments for this bonus tip is going to be about dark modes. Now I'll quickly show you how you can turn that mode on within edge. But within these hidden features, access by putting an edge colon forward slash flags. 

   The six is a Dark Mode For All Websites, one of those hidden features you can turn dark mode on for all websites that you visit. I just want to show you how to turn dark mode on an 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. And a lot of people prefer the dark mode it's easier to read. I'm one of them. So that's I could turn that on. So the hidden settings which there are hundreds in there so I can go through them all well this is why I chose it. Probably do another video just on this itself but to get to them I need to do is type EDGE colon forward slash flags and you get to the experiments. So a lot of these are in Dev, these are all in beta testing.

   Before we turn it on, I just let's go to a website first. This is the website, we're going to visit after return on that mode. That's what it usually looks like. Once you're in experiments, just type dark. You'll get this false mode for false 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 dark mode for websites. It won't work for all of them. But the ones I've tested works pretty well. So it just goes along with it. dark theme, if that's what you're running in the browser, and on the computer as a whole.
