edge: Microsoft rolls out these useful features for Edge users with latest update – Times of India

Microsoft has started to roll out a new update for Edge browser. The Edge version 98 comes with few improvements and new features. With the latest update, the tech giant has added Enhance Security Mode where browser security takes priority, giving users an extra layer of protection when browsing the web. Administrators can apply group policies to end-user desktops (Windows, macOS, and Linux) to help protect against in-the-wild exploits (also referred to 0-days).
The flagship feature of the latest version is the Edge Bar. It is a floating widget that will make it easier for you to visit your favourite websites right from the desktop. By default, the Edge Bar is pinned on the right side of the screen.
With the update, Microsoft has also added Windows 11-style overlay scrollbars to the browser. The company has been testing this edition for a while now. The feature is currently under a flag and can be enabled by going in edge://flags.
Users can also now personalise their multi-profile experience with the ability to create a customised list of sites for automatic profile switching in Microsoft Edge. The company has also announced that starting with version 100, Edge will send a three-digit version number in the User-Agent header, for example “Edg/100”. Starting with Microsoft Edge 97, site owners can test this upcoming user agent string by enabling the #force-major-version-to-100 experiment flag in edge://flags to ensure their User-Agent parsing logic is robust and works as expected.
