- Microsoft Edge has two new intelligent features in beta tests
- AI will help you find websites in your browsing history
- A new media control center provides a center for all media reading activities
Have you ever found a useful web page, forgotten to sign it, then remember it later, and I had to drive out the history of your browser to try to find the site? This can be a frustrating experience, but Microsoft Edge aims to eliminate the pain from such a scenario.
Neowin reports only from the beta version of Edge 138 for testers (version 138.0.3351.14 to be precise), there is a new search for web history powered by AI.
Of course, you already get a research installation in the history of Edge (and the other best web browsers), but the new feature gives your search request a wider scope and the possibility of using synonyms (and more).
Microsoft explains: “Improved search finds sites in your history even when you use a synonym, a sentence or a typo.”
In short, you cannot type something vaguely linked, and possibly make mistakes or typing faults to this, and AI will always be able to determine what you are looking for – and, hope it, the right website.
Elsewhere in the beta version of Edge 138, Microsoft introduced a media control center. It is a central center which allows you to control any video or musical reading which is currently underway in the browser, or another activity such as the casting of the media to another device.
Anyway on the media plan, you can face it from here, and the control center is open by clicking on the Music Note icon from the address bar in Edge.
Analysis: disc model
Remember that these features are only tests at the moment. In addition to that, the search for web history fueled by AI is a limited deployment among the testers, so even if you run the beta version of Edge, you may not see it for a while.
In short, it can be some time before this feature progresses to the version of the browser, but it is incoming. And with Microsoft wishing to expand the powers of AI as it can, I cannot imagine that it is a feature that may be thrown away.
For those who are concerned about confidentiality in terms of AI hang its tears to your web history, Microsoft uses a “disk model” and the company promises that none of your data is never sent from the device to the cloud or to Microsoft servers. In addition, the functionality must be activated actively, rather than being on by default.
