it's TIME TO SURF | watch the gameplay of Microsoft Edge's built in game (Easter Egg)
I gotta admit, this is way cooler than I expected, definitely better than Chrome's 2bit dino game. 1080p 60FPS gameplay: https://streamable.com/tj4jj Edge automatically offers to play it when Internet connection is lost but you can also play it with Internet if you go to this URL: edge://surf/ p.s it's currently available only on Edge version 82 onward tested it on Version 82.0.436.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)Bug with default zoom level in Edge
This is what I'm referring to Whenever I fresh install Edge on a computer, the zoom level in Edge settings is blank. I've tested it with: Edge 80 Version 80.0.361.54 (Official build) (64-bit) And Edge Version 82.0.425.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) on Windows 10 build 19041.84 (slow ring) and Windows 10 build 19564 (fast ring) Those Windows installations were fresh when I tested it. display driver was already installed prior to Edge installation. monitor resolution is 1920x1080 and Windows scaling was set to 100% recommended by Windows. so even though the zoom level is blank at first, I can still figure out what zoom level Edge has automatically set for itself by zooming in/out in a web page and it is sometimes 130% and 125%.New privacy oriented feature added to Edge 82 - Freeze User-Agent request header
New in Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.421.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Reason for doing it is more about privacy and stopping fingerprinting. edge://flags/ Freeze User-Agent request header Set the User-Agent request header to a static string that conforms to the current User-Agent string format but only reveals desktop vs Android and if the 'mobile' flag is set – Mac, Windows #freeze-user-agent to be more effective, also enable this flag: Reduce default 'referer' header granularity If a page hasn't set an explicit referrer policy, setting this flag will reduce the amount of information in the 'referer' header for cross-origin requests. – Mac, Windows #reduced-referrer-granularity More info: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5704553745874944 https://css-tricks.com/freezing-user-agent-strings/New feature in Edge 82 to improve Scrolling smoothness and animation
Noticed in the Edge Version 82.0.418.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) a new flag was added edge://flags/ Impulse-style scroll animations Replaces the default scroll animation with Impulse-style scroll animations. – Mac, Windows #impulse-scroll-animations I'm not sure but I think I notice some changes when I scroll, I mostly use my gaming mouse which has the fast scrolling mode but if you notice any difference, please comment down below.
