New and improved features in Microsoft Edge 109

The ability to link a personal Microsoft account (MSA) and Azure Active Directory (AAD) account through a job or academic institution is the first functionality that Microsoft has added to Edge v109. Once connected, users who are logged in with their work or school account can earn Microsoft Rewards points for using Microsoft Bing in their browser or Windows search box.

 

 

The capability to check for changes to the TLS server certificate is the following functionality added to Microsoft Edge v109. The MicrosoftRootStoreEnabled policy is being used to test this capability, which will be made official in Microsoft Edge version 110.

 

The browser now includes text prediction, which is intended to help users write more quickly and clearly. It's important to note that customers in the US, India, and Australia can presently access this service solely in English. However, the business wants to take it to more places.
