Report: Microsoft to replace classic Edge with new Edge from early 2020 on
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/06/r...lassic-edge-with-new-edge-from-early-2020-on/

The replacement should not affect Windows 10 users who don't use Microsoft Edge and have no intention to use it. Users who use it actively currently may notice changes, e.g. that some features are no longer supported or that web compatibility and speed improved.

It does but it required an update even though they claimed it would not. You should have it by now.

It's Official: Chromium-Based Microsoft Edge Web Browser Is Coming to Linux

Microsoft Edge is coming to Linux. But will anybody use it?
Edge wasn't even popular on Windows—adding Linux support is a curious move
November 11, 2019
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/11/microsoft-edge-is-coming-to-linux-but-will-anybody-use-it/

At Microsoft Ignite last week, a slide announced that Microsoft's project to rebase its perennially unloved Edge browser on Google's open source project Chromium is well underway.
We downloaded the Edge beta on a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM and took it for a quick spin. So far, it looks very much like Chrome itself—enough so that you might not notice which browser you're using unless you look very specifically.

For the moment, it doesn't look like there's much to get excited about in Edge's new Chromium flavor—it's pretty much just Chromium with one additional button that lets you go to your Favorites and another smiley-face button that sends feedback to developers.
It seems unlikely that the Linux world is going to go ga-ga for what seems to essentially be a reskinning of Chromium—but that might be missing Microsoft's real thrust here

Microsoft's Chromium-powered Edge browser is now available for ARM64 PCs
November 13, 2019
https://www.neowin.net/news/microso...d-edge-browser-is-now-available-for-arm64-pcs

Windows 10's built-in Edge browser (now informally called Legacy Edge) has always natively supported ARM64, or at least since Windows on ARM was a thing. But up until now, those testing out Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge browser haven't been able to run it natively on ARM; they could only get the x86 version running in emulation. Now, testers can finally use native ARM64 Edge Chromium.

Edge is now the first Chromium-based browser to have a shipping version running on native ARM64, albeit not from the stable channel.
For now, ARM64 Edge Chromium is only available in the Canary channel. It will be coming to Dev and Beta channels soon; however, it won't be in the stable channel when it's generally available on January 15.

Insecure Content Blocking in Chromium Microsoft Edge Browser
How to enable it and what it does in the app
November 25, 2019
https://news.softpedia.com/news/ins...-chromium-microsoft-edge-browser-528301.shtml

More recently, however, Microsoft has added a new permission in the latest version of Canary in order to further enhance the security that you get when browsing the web.
At this point, the feature is still in beta-testing, so it’s only available in the latest Canary build of Microsoft Edge.

The feature is called “insecure content blocking,” and it essentially comes down to blocking content that is stored on websites and which Microsoft Edge might consider to be insecure. It goes without saying that this helps improve your security online, so it’s without a doubt a welcome addition to the Microsoft Edge security feature arsenal.
As per WinAero, this feature is part of Microsoft’s so-called Controlled Feature Rollout, or CFR, which means that the company releases such experimental options to users gradually to collect feedback.

Most likely, the insecure content blocking will become available to all testers in the coming weeks when new updates for Microsoft Edge are delivered.

Improving Tracking Prevention in Microsoft Edge

By Microsoft Edge Team December 3, 2019
Today, we’re excited to announce some improvements to our tracking prevention feature that have started rolling out with Microsoft Edge 79. In our last blog post about tracking prevention in Microsoft Edge, we mentioned that we are experimenting with ways that our Balanced mode can be further improved to provide even greater privacy protections by default without breaking sites. We are looking to strike a balance between two goals:

Get started with Collections in Microsoft Edge
December 9, 2019
https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/12/09/improvements-collections-sync-microsoft-edge/

We’re excited to announce that Collections is now enabled by default for all Microsoft Edge Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels (build 80.0.338.0 or later). Following our initial preview behind a feature flag two months ago, we have been adding in new features and functionality.

We designed Collections based on what you do on the web. If you’re a shopper, it will help you collect and compare items. If you’re an event or trip organizer, Collections will help pull together all your trip or event information as well as ideas to make your event or trip a success. If you’re a teacher or student, it will help you organize your web research and create your lesson plans or reports. Whatever you are doing on the web, Collections can help. [...]

LOL, who are they kidding.

M$ doesn't claim Edge is a "privacy" browser. Its policy is to give users options, including the ability to add privacy/security extensions.It's hard to believe but some people actually like being tracked and offered personalized ads.

Microsoft is working on a new feature for the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser that will make it a bit more straightforward for users to pin sites to the Windows 10 taskbar.
Click to expand...

The new option is located under Tools > More Tools and is called “Launch pin to taskbar wizard,” as per a discovery from reddit user Leo Varela.
