Microsoft Edge Gets New Tab Sharing Feature

Ever since Microsoft rebuilt its Edge browser using Chromium, we’ve started to see more similarities between it and Google Chrome. Of course it wasn’t a 100% copy of Chrome, but it had most of the features and support for extensions that made it useful enough. Now it looks like Edge users have one more tool to look forward to.

It appears that in a recent update to Edge, the browser has gained the ability to share tabs. What does this mean? This means that when you’re browsing Edge on your computer, you can right-click a browser tab and send it to another device that’s signed into your Microsoft account, like a smartphone, for example.

Google’s Chrome already has a similar feature that lets you send tabs and websites to a linked up mobile device, so if you’ve used it before, then you are probably familiar with this. However, it seems that at the moment it isn’t available to all users yet. It appears to have rolled out to a small subset of users on Windows and Mac, but it isn’t available on the Edge app for iOS and Android.

However, assuming that the feature is meant to be released to the masses, then it should eventually make its way to more users, so for everyone else, you’ll just have to remain patient.
