Microsoft Edge gets three features that will improve their browsing experience while safeguarding their information as they browse the Web. Microsoft Edge states in a Windows Experience Blog post that it was updating two Microsoft Edge features, Password Health Dashboard and Password Monitor, with the ability to quickly update compromised passwords.
- 1st feature will try to automate the process of changing a leaked password.
- 2nd feature is an efficiency mode that will help users conserve power while on battery power.
- 3rd feature announced by Microsoft is an improved price tracker that will alert users to discounts online, as part of an improvement to the browser’s shopping feature.
New “easy update” feature will allow users to change their password on a site where their passwords have been leak, with a single click inside the password settings.
You can click the three-dot menu then Settings lastly Passwords on Microsoft Edge and click on Change next to the affected password.
Clicking this button on support websites will take the user to the relevant password change screen where Edge can suggest a new password and save it to the user’s account.
The other feature announce by Microsoft is a price tracking feature that will be built into Edge, and keep an eye on products that users view as they browse the Web.
The price-tracking feature will then monitor these product listings for price changes and send out an alert when a discount is detect.
Edge already supports the ability to check for discounts and coupons on webpages, including Microsoft’s own store, on both Android and on desktop browsers, and the tracking feature has been introduce right in time for the holiday season, as per the Microsoft.
Microsoft hasn’t specified if the feature will be turn on by default, but users might be able to disable the feature if they do not want to be track as they browse the Web.
Microsoft Edge can be a resource-intensive browser, especially when working with several tabs on a laptop that is not plug in.
The Microsoft has now introduce a new efficiency mode on Edge, which will scale down the system resource usage like CPU and RAM, saving precious battery life.
Users will definitely see a performance hit due to the lower resource usage while using the new efficiency mode, but the feature could come in handy when using laptops off the charger.
Microsoft says that the feature will be turn on when a device’s battery is low, but users who do not want the feature can turn it off by clicking the three-dot menu then Settings lastly System and performance and toggling the Turn on efficiency mode option on Microsoft Edge, as per the Microsoft.
