Ο Microsoft Edge based on Chromium has already become popular with Firefox, mainly because the browser is lightweight and offers better performance / features. In Edge Canary, Microsoft is currently testing Office integration to help users access Microsoft 365 applications directly from the Edge menu.
Microsoft Edge's right-click menu or the context menu for its tabsletterof browsing will include a new one choice called “New Office Tab”. As the name suggests, this Edge option will allow users to open online Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
It also looks like the new Office integration won't be exclusive to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so you'll be able to access it with a regular account of Microsoft.
But in addition to integrating Office, Microsoft suddenly decided to show ads inside Microsoft Edge. After recent updates, some users are seeing more notifications and ads for company services like the Microsoft Start (a modified MSN).
As you can see in the image above, Microsoft is experimenting with more ads to appear on the page of each new browser tab.
Fortunately, you can close these pop-ups by pressing the "X", but that doesn't stop Microsoft from serving other ads in the future.
