Microsoft is refining the settings page in the Edge Canary version to enhance user experience by simplifying the interface. The Settings hamburger menu has been streamlined, with various components relocated to separate pages. The landing page now features quick-access buttons for frequently used sections, and sub-settings are presented as a clickable list, leading to compact separate pages. Microsoft is also experimenting with a darker dark mode for reduced eye strain and power consumption, and testing an AI History Search feature to help users find information more easily.

Microsoft Edge tests AI History Search, better security on Windows 11

Microsoft Edge is introducing new AI-driven features, including an experimental Web Push API for improved notification management in Windows 11 and enhanced security measures for downloads and clipboard activities. An AI History search feature is being developed, allowing users to receive AI recommendations from web passages during history searches, which can be activated by typing @history in the address bar. This feature may require a Microsoft account and will only apply to websites visited after activation. Additionally, Edge is optimizing memory usage with sleeping tabs and has identified new security features, including msProvenanceValidatorToggleOnByDefault for verifying downloaded file sources and msProtectedClipboard for protecting clipboard contents. The term msEdgeMetaOSOlympus has been mentioned, potentially indicating a redesign or new Windows release, though details remain unclear.
