Microsoft’s Edge browser has recently lost to Apple’s Safari browser in the competition for the second largest browser, but this has not stopped Microsoft from continuing to add new features to the Edge browser. Microsoft is currently testing adding thumbnails to Edge’s Favorites page to make browsing bookmarks more fun.
Currently, users can only see a list on the “Favorites” page of the Edge browser, which lists all the web pages that the user has favorited. While the list view is more compact and can display more bookmarks, the thumbnail preview allows users to see a snapshot of the user’s favorite web pages. However, when the user switches to the thumbnail view, the user cannot see as many bookmarks as the list view.
As discovered by Twitter user Leopeva64-2, the Edge browser’s Favorites page offers some thumbnail options in the Canary version, including “Small Thumbnail View,” “Medium Thumbnail View,” and “Large Thumbnail View.” Thumbnail View”, users can choose according to their needs.
It is found that the thumbnail function of the Edge browser is similar to the “Visual view (Visual view)” function added by the Google Chrome browser last year. However, the latter can only be enabled through the flag at present, but in the Canary, the thumbnail view is not hidden in the version, although it is currently only available to a limited number of users, hopefully Microsoft will roll this feature out to more users in the coming days and months.
