New Extensions in 14342
--Install from Windows Store
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions/
I already had the Microsoft Translator on my previous version but I could not load it. Looks like I need to get the extension again.
In versions earlier to this you could do the following:
Pin/unpin tab. Right click tab to pin the tab. This is quite useful although browser displays some of regularly used pages when you click the + New tab.
Drag and drop folders to reorder in Favorites Bar.
Of course you can sort the Favorites.
View Source & Inspect Element contextual menu items
Click ellipsis at extreme right end of browser and choose F12 Developer Tools, the first time. Now if you right click on the page you can access View Source and Inspect Element. Of course you can hide it from other users.
The Context menu then shows the View Source and Inspect Element items. If you hide it you just get Select and Print when the you right click on the web page.
Paste and Go
You could copy a hyperlink from anywhere (for example typed into Notepad or copied from a web page) and then in a new search box right click to get the context menu and pick, Paste and go to navigate to that page.
These are great features but one of the problems that has not gone away is that the browser hangs when changing tabs. Sometimes you need to get the task manager to get rid of it.
