Microsoft Edge 88: Mega update provides greater security and performance.
Microsoft Edge 88: Now with Password Generator
Secure passwords are essential these days. Since most users store their passwords in the browser, it only makes sense if the browser recommends a password that cannot be broken. So Edge version 88 adds a password generator. When creating a new account or changing the password, the generated passwords can be transferred directly to the corresponding field and stored on the edge. You are safe on the move without memorizing complex strings. Edge 88 offers the ability to better control cookies. You can now see in the settings which cookies are set with which rights and which websites have recently added cookies. Of course, you can also delete unwanted cookies.

Convenient search
Do you want to open a website and see a word there? In the future, you do not have to open a new tab to do this: if you right-click on this word, you can start a search in the sidebar. So you stay on the page, but see the search results you want. Web pages can finally be rearranged in the taskbar. Long-term Edge users will know this functionality from the old Edge.
