For now, we're left waiting for Edge to add that and other desired features you can easily get on other browsers. Microsoft has said that it will add support for extensions in fall 2015, which will let you add extra features to Edge and bring it up to speed with Chrome and Firefox. All of these features are currently missing from Edge. Both browsers also let you "pin" a tab, so it takes up less space and stays open. They also support thousands of extensions and add-ons, like 1Password, OneTab and Pinterest, that let you use all sorts of helpful tools right in your browser. Chrome and Firefox let you sync bookmarks and open tabs between different computers, so you always have access to the same information everywhere you go. To use it, just click or tap the star icon in the address bar and select Reading list and follow the prompts.īut despite its advancements, Edge is still behind its competitors when it comes to their most popular features. It's great for when you find articles throughout your workday that you don't have time to read until after you leave the office.
The other tool aimed at anyone who likes reading online is Reading list, a place where you can save an article to read later offline. You can tell if a webpage is compatible with Reading view by looking at the book icon in the address bar if it's grayed out, Reading view isn't available, if it's black, you can use it. What makes Edge special is that this feature is built in, ready to use on most any website. Reading view is very similar to Evernote's Clearly extension, available for Chrome and Firefox, which also strips out extra parts of a website for reading, though Clearly gives you a few customization options where Edge does not. It's a smart tool for when you don't want distractions, or don't particularly like a website's layout. Reading view is a tool that strips out extra parts of a website - like ads and design elements - to give you a clean, focused view with only text, photos and video.
