PDF and printing

In version 90, Microsoft has also enabled support for a new feature that will allow you to print the current page of the PDF document. To print the current page, open a PDF in Edge and click on the “Print” button to access the “Current Page” option in the print dialog.

In addition to the “Current page” option, Microsoft is also introducing new options – ‘Fit to Page’, ‘Paper size’ and ‘Actual size’ – to improve the printing experience.

These options will allow users to change the scaling when printing websites and PDF documents. If you select the third option ‘Actual Size, Edge would ensure that the document is printed with no changes in the size of the content.

Password manager

Microsoft Edge comes with a free password management tool available within the browser’s settings page and it essentially allows you to track the passwords and online payment methods for a potential security breach.

After the update, you can now delete multiple saved passwords with a single click.

Font rendering

Microsoft Edge update also comes with an improved front rendering system that will reduce blurriness and offer better clarity on some websites.

Autofill suggestions

In Microsoft Edge, autofill suggestions are automatically generated and that pop up when you’re filling out forms. In some cases, Microsoft Edge is unable to fetch the data in forms where autofill is not supported, but a new feature in version 90 will allow you to search for your information and fill it easily.

Browser sync

Microsoft Edge now lets you search both local and synced browsing history. Previously, the history search feature was restricted to your local data
