Microsoft Edge is now faster than ever — again — with 40% quicker load speeds

Microsoft Edge has introduced a significantly improved user interface with a First Contentful Paint (FCP) time of under 300 milliseconds. Since February, load times have been reduced by an average of 40% across 13 features, including enhanced settings navigation, an AI-powered Read Aloud feature with multi-language support, a Split Screen function for seamless task transitions, and more responsive Workspaces. These improvements are attributed to the implementation of WebUI 2.0, which streamlines code bundles and reduces JavaScript for UI initialization. The Edge team also reported a 9% increase in speed as measured by Speedometer 3.0 earlier this year. Additional features like sleeping tabs and startup boost have been added to enhance performance, with plans for further improvements in Print Preview and Extensions.

Microsoft Edge sets a new standard for speed and responsiveness

Microsoft Edge has achieved a global First Contentful Paint (FCP) time of under 300 milliseconds, reflecting a commitment to enhancing user experience through speed. This milestone was influenced by research indicating that delays beyond 300 to 400 milliseconds can negatively impact user satisfaction. Load times have been reduced by an average of 40% across 13 key browser features, including Settings, Read Aloud, Split Screen, and Workspaces. Future performance enhancements are expected for features like Print Preview and Extensions. FCP measures how quickly the various feature UIs of Microsoft Edge visually load.

Native PDF support is coming to Chrome for Android, and you can try it now

Google Chrome for Android will soon support native PDF file opening without third-party applications, allowing users to search and annotate PDFs directly in the browser and save them to Google Drive. This feature was discovered by Chrome expert Leopeva64 in February and has been confirmed to be operational on devices like the OnePlus Open running Android 14. The PDF viewer in Chrome is minimalistic but effective, with navigation and search capabilities. Users can annotate PDFs using a toolbar that includes options for pens and highlighters. This functionality is supported by the Jetpack PDF support library, which is included in Android 15 but also available for older versions through Google Play System Updates. Users need to enable specific flags to access this feature, which is available in Chrome 132 or later, currently in Beta.

Microsoft Edge is ditching rounded corners design for tabs

The rounded tabs feature in Microsoft Edge, introduced last year, is set to be discontinued. The flag #edge-visual-rejuv-rounded-tabs has been updated to indicate this feature will be removed soon. In the stable version 127 of Edge, rounded tabs were not enabled by default, a situation that continues in version 128. Although rounded tabs allowed for easier identification of each tab, they have not gained significant user interest and have remained in the experimental phase. Microsoft plans to eliminate the experimental flag for rounded tabs and support for the full-rounded corners feature. Users can still enable the rounded design through specific settings. Future Microsoft Edge features will focus on artificial intelligence, including Copilot integration, performance improvements like a RAM limiter and battery-saving options, and a potential free 15GB VPN powered by Cloudflare in select regions.
