New - Toys - Brave - Tweaks - Owners
New toys for the brave included tweaks for the lucky owners of HDR displays, more signs of the ever-creeping influence of Microsoft's Fluent design ethos and accessibility improvements for Edge. Redmond will be hoping that its continual polishing of the thing will encourage users to do something with it other than simply downloading a competing browser.A lack of whizzbang new features is further evidence that the team at Microsoft is taking the time to work on quality prior to release later this year.
