On January 7, after the launch of the Chrome 97 stable version, Microsoft also released an update to the Microsoft Edge browser 97 stable version, which is also the first stable version of Edge 97 (version number 97.0.1072.55). According to the official introduction, this update has brought a lot of fixes and improvements.
In the past, when we logged into an account on a website, the browser would often require the user to manually select an account from the account selector to continue to access the website, which took a considerable amount of time for people with multiple accounts to choose on their own, and the browsing experience was not so smooth.
The first big update of the stable version of Microsoft Edge 97 is that users can directly "bind" their account to a website, and they don't need to manually select it the next time they log in. Of course, considering the user's usage habits, Microsoft still retained the original account selection preference.
Since Chrome introduced the "Priority HTTPS Connection" feature in version 90, Microsoft Edge 97 version has taken it a step further, introducing "Automatic HTTPS Connection". That is to say, the browser will automatically recognize the website, if HTTPS is supported, it will be loaded directly, without the need to load the risky HTTP first and then jump to HTTPS, which is more secure and faster to browse.
For students, online research or citations are a common necessity. While managing a large number of reference materials, they sometimes have to translate these cited materials into the appropriate citation format, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc., whether it is data collation or format conversion, it is not an easy task.
Taking into account the needs of this group of students, the new version of Microsoft Browser provides a "citation" function. Now, they can automatically generate citations on Microsoft Edge, freeing up time spent organizing materials and converting formats for academic research.
As the "successor" of Internet Explorer, Although Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, it is a new student of Microsoft browser products, keeping up with the mainstream in terms of interface design and browsing experience, and has become a weapon to compete with Google Chrome.
Previously, Chrome because the version number stepped into 100 caused most of the web pages to be inaccessible, Microsoft Edge's version number is also close to three digits, I don't know if it will encounter such an embarrassing thing as Google?
