Microsoft’s Edge browser is becoming more and more feature-rich. The latest Edge Canary update brings a new hidden feature that can improve user interaction with website images.
The feature, called ” Magnify image ,” allows users to right-click on any image and preview it in a larger window without leaving the current tab. In addition to enlarging the image, the feature can also display its alt text or short description.
Users can force enable it by modifying the Edge Canary shortcut using commands. IT Home has attached a tutorial on how to enable it:
-
Update Microsoft Edge Canary browser to 120.0.2198 or higher.
-
Right-click the Edge Canary shortcut and select Properties.
-
Click the Target input box, add a space after the path, and then add the following command:
--enable - features = msEdgeImageMagnifyUI _
-
Click “OK” in the properties window to save changes.
-
Open Edge Canary’s Settings > System & Performance, then turn off Startup Enhancements. If this feature is turned off, you can skip this step.
-
Close the browser and launch Edge Canary again with the modified shortcut.
-
Jump to a web page at will, then right-click the image and click “Magnify image”.
It’s worth noting that Google is developing a similar feature for Chrome . Unlike Edge, Chrome allows you to preview links in a small window, similar to Apple’s macOS feature of long-pressing a link to preview its content.
