Microsoft Edge is getting a major feature update, including editing and saving web images

Microsoft is about to roll out some major feature updates for its Edge web browser. We've already reported on some of them, including putting the new Bing Image Creator in the Edge sidebar. We're also announcing new Browser Essentials features for monitoring browser security and overall performance. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

In a blog post, Microsoft outlined some of Edge’s more important new features. Perhaps most interesting is that Edge will soon add the ability to save and edit web images from within the browser. This could make many standalone image editor applications obsolete. Microsoft says:

Now, instead of downloading, saving and editing in a separate app on your PC or macOS device, you can just right-click the web image you want without leaving the browser window, Crop, adjust light and color, and add filters. From there, you can save the edited image for later use. You can also start editing by hovering over the image and selecting Edit Image from the menu. This reduces the need to switch from one application to another.

Another new feature in Edge is called Drop. It's included in the Edge sidebar and aims to give people a way to share photos, notes and other files from one of their devices to another. Microsoft says:

Let’s say you’re at work, wondering what to make for dinner later that day, and you find a quick recipe that your kids will love. With Drop, you can copy ingredients and recipes and send them to yourself so you can keep them on your phone for easy reference when you get to the grocery store.

at last. Microsoft is making some improvements to Productivity Mode in Edge. Previously, if your Windows laptop ran out of battery, Efficiency Mode would kick in to reduce battery usage. New improvements will add two modes. One is "Balanced Savings" which will still extend battery life while still providing full use of the Edge. Another mode, Maximum Savings, will further reduce energy use, but at the expense of Edge performance.

There is no word yet on when these new features will make their way to the stable version of Edge.
