Microsoft has revealed<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0an updated roadmap for its Chromium-based Edge browser.<\/p>\n

Users have reported several minor issues with the reworked browser and requested the addition of a number of features since its official release<\/strong><\/a> in mid-January.<\/p>\n

The planned changes include a fix for the synchronisation and duplication of favourites, as well as deleted favourites reappearing.<\/p>\n

Possible new features coming in February include the ability to sync extensions across devices which have the browser installed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Microsoft said it wants to add the option to set a custom photo as the New Tab Page background, as well as improve the handling of links for more than one profile.<\/p>\n

Features coming later<\/h3>\n

Along with the updates arriving in February, Microsoft listed other features that are being planned for a later stage.<\/p>\n

These include support to read PDF files aloud, the syncing of browsing history across devices and the ability to prevent the auto-play of video and audio when the user opens a website.<\/p>\n

Microsoft also listed a host of features which it is currently only considering to add, in addition to user-requested features that are not being planned.<\/p>\n

Linux users could soon be able to try out the browser, as Microsoft has indicated it also plans to add support for the OS.<\/p>\n
