Microsoft’s browser takes back the Edge with streamlined settings

If you’ve ever tried to tweak a setting in Microsoft Edge and found yourself lost in all the options, this one’s for you.

Microsoft is cleaning up the Settings page, so you’ll no longer need to dig around in endless menus to find the setting you need. 

What’s changing in Microsoft Edge? 

You’ll see a new quick access panel under the main Settings menu, giving shortcuts to the features you’ll likely use most. 

Settings will also be split into smaller sub-menus, like “System and Performance” and “Appearance”, making finding exactly what you want easier. 

Better yet, the sub-menus will have their own quick access shortcuts, too. 

The improvements will give Google Chrome (which has been praised for its well-organised settings) a run for its money. So, if your team doesn’t already use Edge as their default browser, it’s a great time to try it.

Microsoft is currently testing the update

It should start rolling out soon. Once it does, you can expect much smoother navigation.
