This Build 2019 delves deeper into the new features that will be added to Edge. One of them is 'Internet Explorer mode', which is fully compatible with IE11. This is primarily an enterprise feature that will allow you to render exactly like IE11 in Edge.



Microsoft has long published '

Enterprise mode site list ', and Edge has provided a linkage function that automatically opens the site in IE when opening a site with a compatibility problem, but from the next version In the Edge alone, you can check the compatibility between Edge and IE, or use the system for IE seamlessly on Edge.

In addition to being able to expand new functionality regardless of OS by adopting Chromium, in addition to Windows version, iOS version, Android version already released, Edge of macOS version Will also be available.

In addition, it is expected that privacy related functions including tracking denial function will be enhanced. When implemented, it looks similar to the

Firefox 65 Content Blocking feature released in January 2019.

The privacy tool displayed on the Edge setting screen has three modes: 'Unrestricted', 'Balanced', and 'Strict'.



For example, when 'Balanced' is selected, it can be seen that 12 of the tracking such as advertisements on the site are permitted and 117 are blocked.



In addition, Edge's unique feature 'collection' will be added. This is a function that semi-automatically organizes data such as images and text on Internet sites and exports them to Excel, Word, etc. in one shot.

For example, when the 'Collection' window is displayed on the right side of Edge on the GoPro site, data extracted from the site is displayed as a list.



From there, when I selected 'Buying a camera', a list of GoPro prices was displayed. Open the menu and click 'Export Excel' ...



In the left window, an Excel sheet appears with prices and ratings for each product name.



Next, drag and drop the photo data to the 'collection' ...



Similarly, select and add text data.



Then, in a few seconds of things, a Word document consisting of a camera image and its description was completed.



Functions other than 'collection' are already added to 'Canary' version and 'Dev' version for developers, and the official version is expected to be released in the second half of 2019.
