Microsoft has pushed out a new version 77.0.200.0 for the Chromium-based Edge browser. This version grants you Pin Sites to the Taskbar on Edge Chromium which is one of the most impressive features available with the browser. As per the company, this advancement will create better web compatibility for customers and less fragmentation for web developers.
With build 77.0.200.0, the company adds two new features to the browser. If we address the first one, this is pin sites that enable its users to add their most visited websites to the taskbar for faster access. Another new feature is the ability to launch websites in Internet Explorer mode. Although, it is disabled by default you can make it enable with a flag which we have discussed below.
How to Pin Sites to the Taskbar on Edge Chromium
Here are the simple steps to Pin Sites to the Taskbar on the Chromium Edge-
- At first, open Microsoft Edge Canary Browser and type any web address that you want to pin to your taskbar.
- Once the webpage opens up, tap over the three horizontal bars available at the top right corner.
- Henceforth, hover the mouse at the More Tools category and thereafter select the Pin to Taskbar option. See Snapshot below-
- A pop-up window appears asking to confirm the changes, hit Pin button as shown below-
That’s it, you can now notice the pinned website will appear on the Taskbar.
How to Enable Internet Explorer Integration
- At first, launch the Microsoft Edge Chromium Browser.
- Go to the address bar and type- edge://flags. Now, press Enter.
- On the following screen, visit the search bar and type- Enable IE Integration.
Note: Alternatively, type the following parameter in the address bar to open the flag directly-
edge://flags#edge-internet-explorer-integration
- From the top of the result, locate Enable IE Integration and switch it from Default to IE Mode.
- At the bottom of the screen, a message will prompt, asking you to restart the browser.
- Click on the Relaunch Now button.
- Now, open the main menu (three dots button) of the browser. From the list of available options, click on the More tools.
- Click on Show this page using the Internet Explorer option.
As you can see in the image above, the feature is a work in progress. It opens a new tab that redirects its URL to the Internet Explorer browser. In the forthcoming days, we can expect a more seamless integration of the two products.
How do I pin favorites in Edge Chromium?
If you’d like to pin a tab in the Edge browser, simply go to the website in a new tab. When the page opens, right-click on the tab and click the Pin tab. Now the pinned tab will be displayed as a favicon in the tab bar. This kind of bookmark is always open, so it acts as a convenient bookmark.
