Microsoft today announced a slew of new features coming to its Chromium Edge browser. From a report: There are PDF improvements, a built-in screenshot tool, support for more themes, and new shopping features in time for the holiday season. But the most notable addition is the one powered by Skype because for better or for worse, 2020 is the year of video calling. When Zoom usage exploded this year, Microsoft tried to save face by making it easier to join Skype calls — the company dropping account sign-up requirements and expanded the number of supported users. Microsoft is now bringing that functionality to Edge’s new tab page with a dedicated Meet Now button (not to be confused with Google Meet). […] Microsoft claims “Edge is the best browser for shopping this holiday.” To make the case, Edge is getting a feature called price comparison that compares the price of a product you’re searching for across other retailers. If you add a product to a collection, you can then click “compare price to other retailers” to see a list of prices of that item across other retailers.
