The class focuses on the Microsoft Edge web browser in Windows 11, highlighting its features and functionalities.

• The Edge browser in Windows 11 is built on the Chromium open-source engine like the Chrome browser. Still, it has some additional features, such as Collections, sleeping tabs, PDF editing, Sidebar, and Windows Ink. Edge is regularly updated, and new features are added over time. You can also add many extensions through the Microsoft and Chrome web stores.
• Edge can be synced across your other devices so that you have the same favorites on your phone, tablet, and computer.
• You can import favorites from other browsers installed on your computer. You can also search the web and save your searches. Edge allows you to save searches in “Collections” for quick reference and easily share searches via email or social media.
• Edge includes AI (artificial intelligence) searching with Copilot. Clicking on the Copilot icon will bring up the AI search window in a side window. The AI search will bring up information from several sources and summarize the findings with references.
• Edge provides a way to pin web pages to the Start Menu and Taskbar for future access. This allows for quick access to frequently visited pages, like banking, health, or social media sites. You can also arrange the pinned website tiles on the Start Menu for convenience.
• Edge has a Collections feature that lets you store sets of web pages connected to a subject that interests you. This allows for quick reference/review of topics.
• Edge includes tools for editing PDF documents. You can type or draw on the PDF, and your edits are saved as an overlay. This feature eliminates the need to print a PDF to edit it.
