Edge 96 Stable Version Update: Built-in Office file viewer continues to improve the PDF experience

As Microsoft pushes Edge 96 stable version updates to Windows, macOS and Linux platforms, the majority of users have also ushered in the expected built-in Office file viewer and PDF experience improvements. The former is that ordinary users can easily open documents in a browser without having to download them and then view them through desktop applications. On the other hand, Microsoft Edge can better serve as the default PDF document viewer on the Windows platform.

In recent versions, Microsoft has brought continuous improvements to the PDF experience for Edge browser users. In the latest Edge 96 stable version update, it introduced a free-format highlighter, allowing users to more easily view and mark up PDF documents.

Other highlights of updates for ordinary users include a new dictionary in the mini toolbar of the immersive reader and a new mathematical solver function that helps users learn basic arithmetic, quadratic equations, trigonometric functions, and calculus.

If you choose to use Microsoft Edge to run Progressive Web Applications (PWA), Edge 96 can now directly start PWA through a protocol link to further eliminate the difference with native applications. An important feature not mentioned in the instructions is the new Super Duper security mode. It can make the user’s browsing experience more secure, but it may cause damage to some pages of some websites.

Finally, with the release of Edge 94 in September, Microsoft also changed the browser development cycle back to four weeks. At the same time, business users ushered in an 8-week ” stable expansion ” channel option.
