Struggling to keep track of research across multiple tabs or devices? Microsoft Edge’s Collections feature turns your browser into a digital research assistant, letting you clip text, images, and videos directly into a virtual notebook with just a few clicks.

To get started, highlight any text or image on a webpage, then click the three-dot menu and select "Add to new collection" (or "Add to existing" if you already have one). You can even annotate clips, add notes, and organize everything into folders—all while keeping your work synced across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Need to collaborate? Share collections with teammates via a simple link, making group projects effortless.

Tired of scrolling through dozens of bookmarks or a cluttered home screen every morning? Microsoft Edge’s pinning feature lets you create a personalized New Tab page with your most-used sites—like Outlook, Trello, or Google Drive—displayed as large, clickable tiles. This eliminates the need to hunt for tabs or rely on bookmarks, cutting your startup time in half.

To get started, simply right-click any site in your browsing session and select "Pin to New Tab page." You can rearrange tiles by dragging them, and even customize their size for quick access. The feature syncs across all your devices, so your pinned sites follow you whether you're on a laptop, tablet, or phone.

Perfect for remote workers, students, or anyone juggling multiple tools daily, this tweak turns your New Tab page into a productivity hub. ⚡

Late-night coding sessions or dimly lit coffee shops? Microsoft Edge’s dark mode is your eyes’ new best friend, designed to cut glare and reduce strain during those all-night productivity sprints.

With just one click, you can toggle between light and dark themes (via Settings > Appearance), and the switch also extends to OLED screens, where black pixels consume zero power—boosting battery life by up to 30% on laptops. The sleek design even adapts to system-wide dark mode settings on Windows 10/11, ensuring consistency across your devices.

Perfect for developers, night owls, or anyone working in low light, this feature turns your browser into a gentler companion for your eyes. ✨

Tired of scrolling through endless horizontal tabs that clutter your screen? Microsoft Edge’s vertical tabs feature turns your browser into a sleek, side-scrolling workspace—perfect for managing dozens of open pages without losing sight of your workflow.

To enable it, type edge://flags/#edge-vertical-tabs in the address bar, toggle the setting to “Enabled”, then restart Edge. Once active, your tabs appear as a scrollable sidebar, complete with live thumbnails of each page. This layout is a game-changer for developers juggling GitHub repos, terminal sessions, and docs, or writers balancing research, drafts, and reference sites.

Ideal for power users with wide monitors or those who prefer minimalism, vertical tabs keep your main workspace uncluttered while giving you instant access to every open window. ⚡

This feature works on any website—news articles, blogs, or even messy product pages—and lets you adjust font size, line spacing, and even text color for optimal readability. It’s especially useful for long-form reading, like research papers or technical guides, where every second counts. Plus, it syncs across devices, so your preferences follow you from laptop to tablet.
