Introducing web capture for Microsoft Edge
Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it too! But first, we wanted to make it better. While web notes was a great feature, there was also room for improvement. Many of you reported using it for capturing quick screenshots to copy or share, while others loved the ability to to mark-up full webpages with scrolling.

Announcing a new way to paste URLs, Link format!
08-19-2020 04:19 PM Recently, we wanted to dig into how users feel about copying and pasting a URL from their browser. We looked to understand what they do when they copy and paste URLs, as well as the pain points they experience. What did we find? We found that one has to regularly edit the URL they copy to make them understandable for sharing or remove seemingly extra parameters. This led us to what we call Link format, an easily readable URL that also preserves the details of the URL.

Top Feedback Summary for March 11
@MissyQ Hi! there! Thanks for posting and updating this. Thumbs up, very commendable. Have a suggestion on something I think holds many, many, many users from switching to Edge fully. Been using Chrome for a number of years but always considering a switch to Edge, and very much so in the past few months.
