Microsoft Edge based on Chromium OS is also getting three levels of privacy in Microsoft Edge, namely Unrestricted, Balanced, and Strict.
Microsoft is kicking off Build 2019 today. But just ahead of the keynote session of the annual developer conference, the Redmond company has revealed that Microsoft 365 is being used in 181 markets and 44 languages worldwide. Microsoft at its recent quarterly earnings announced that the Office 365 Commercial has 180 million active users and its EMS install base hit 100 million. Alongside revealing stats, the Windows maker has introduced the integration of AI capabilities within Microsoft 365 and publicised the updates coming to the Chromium project-based Microsoft Edge. The company also announced an update to its Cortana Skills for Enterprises to enable businesses to build custom skills for the digital assistant.
Among other developments that are being detailed at Microsoft Build 2019, the Chromium project-based Microsoft Edge that debuted on Windows 10 devices last month is teased to receive new features. There is a dedicated IE mode, which integrates Internet Explorer (IE) within Microsoft Edge via a tab to let businesses run legacy IE-based apps using the modern browser. Further, there are additional privacy controls to let users choose from three levels of privacy in Microsoft Edge, namely Unrestricted, Balanced, and Strict.
“Depending on which option you pick, Microsoft Edge adjusts how third parties can track you across the Web, giving customers more choice and transparency for a more personalised experience,” the company said in a press statement.
Microsoft Edge built on the open-source Chromium project is also receiving Collections that are designed to let users collect, organise, share, and export content even through an Office integration.
The new features will be rolled out on Microsoft Edge over time, the company said without specifying any concrete schedule.
Microsoft has also highlighted that Microsoft Graph is now seeing 100 million requests a month.
