Microsoft Edge floating web widget on Windows 10:
The feature of a floating web search widget had arrived earlier with a Canary build. Now with Version 91.0.844.0 in Canary channel, it has received a new icon. Here are the features of this Web widget.
- You can drag and drop it
- You can put it anywhere on the screen but it’s sticky, so it automatically sticks to sides.
- If you drag and drop it on the center of your screen, it automatically sticks to one of the 3 sides, (Top, Right, Left), also got smooth animation when it sticks.
- It stays always on top of other windows (except for full screen games which I just tested)
- It launches automatically on Windows startup (unless you disable it from Edge settings or Windows settings)
How to launch:
- You can launch it by right-clicking on Edge canary shortcut on Start menu and selecting “Launch Web Widget”
- You can launch it from Edge settings page:Â edge://settings/newTabPage
- You can launch it by pressing Edge’s (…) menu button => More tools => Launch Web Widget
Web capture of subscroller section:
This new feature allows web capture or smart copy in Microsoft Edge to capture the contents of the 2nd scrollbar. It can be enabled by using a flag in Edge Version 91.0.844.0 in canary channel. When enabled, users will be able to select sections of subscrollers when using WebCapture or SmartCopy.
