For those who want to preview features that are still under development and not yet enabled in production releases, type about:flags in the address box. That option displays a list of advanced settings and experimental features, as shown in Figure 6-1. FIGURE 6-1 Entering about:flags in the Microsoft Edge address bar unlocks these advanced settings. One of the most important changes in Microsoft Edge is its user-agent string, a primary troubleshooting tool for determining whether a webpage is rendering incorrectly because it’s coded to sniff for a particular browser version rather than test for the existence of specific features. On Windows 10 version 1511, Internet Explorer 11 identifies itself with the following user-agent string: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko In contrast, Microsoft Edge 25 returns this user-agent string with each webpage request: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2486.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/13.10586 The changes in user-agent string make it much more likely that a site will serve up the same standards-compliant page it would serve for other browsers and ignore any Internet Explorer–specific modifications. 80 CHAPTER 6 Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11
Microsoft Edge As I mentioned earlier in this chapter, Microsoft Edge is a relatively recent arrival in Windows 10 and is still evolving rapidly. In its current incarnation, you can see the deliberately minimalist design shown in Figure 6-2, which probably was a key influence on the Project Spartan code name. FIGURE 6-2 The minimalist design of the Microsoft Edge browser includes the ability to dock a pane to the right side of the browser window, in this case the Settings menu. In its default layout, Microsoft Edge is lean indeed. There’s no title bar, and only three buttons and an ellipsis that leads to a menu of options and settings. On the new tab page, shown in Figure 6-2, the address bar isn’t even visible until you load a page from the search box or click in the space where the address bar would be. That simplicity of design means there are far fewer settings to tinker with than in Internet Explorer, and some features you might have become accustomed to are missing in action. The most obvious missing feature in Microsoft Edge 25 is support for any kind of browsing extension. Internet Explorer 11 supports Browser Helper Objects and toolbars, along with a handful of other proprietary extensions. For security reasons, those types of add-ons aren’t permitted in Microsoft Edge. As of Windows 10 version 1511, the only available add-on for Microsoft Edge is Adobe Flash Player, which is built into the browser (and automatically updated) in the same way that it’s included with Internet Explorer 11. (Flash capabilities can be disabled in Settings, but the add-on itself cannot be removed.) Microsoft Edge also includes PDF reading capabilities you can use to open PDF documents from websites, email attachments, and local file storage without requiring third-party software. Microsoft announced plans to allow third-party developers to write add-ons for Microsoft Edge using HTML and JavaScript, a strategy that is consistent with the approach used by competing browsers. This capability should arrive first in preview releases and will probably arrive in the Current Branch CHAPTER 6 Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 81
