The Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser has been steadily improving in PDF file management. Extending the web capture capability to PDF files, the web browser now provides thumbnails of each page in the PDF file for quick navigation.
Microsoft is gradually offering a new way to navigate PDF files directly within the Edge web browser. Microsoft Edge web browser Build 99.0.1133.0 now offers a list view as well as a thumbnail view for scrolling through PDF files. Both types of views will appear in one pane, visible on the left.
If this feature sounds familiar, it’s because even Google Chrome provides the same navigation for PDF files that users can access directly in Chrome. Microsoft has also added two new logos to the latest Edge Canary release. These experimental features allow Mica and Acrylic effects to be enabled or disabled.
They exist under the #edge-visual-rejuv-materials-title-bar and #edge-visual-rejuv-materials-menu Experiment Flags, respectively. The Acrylic effect setting will affect the menus that appear inside Microsoft Edge, while the Mica effect setting will affect the title bar. By the way, these two experimental flags are only available to Windows 11 users.
