Grammar tools, in the next part of the Immersive Reader top menu, was much more interesting. Under "Reading preferences," Immersive Reader also offers a Line focus feature, which drastically dims out all but a few lines in the center of the page, as well as something called a "Picture dictionary." I found the line focus feature pretty obnoxious, and the picture dictionary was apparently broken-enabling it didn't seem to change anything on the page. You can change text size and spacing on the fly, as well as choose from a fairly large selection of color schemes. Edge Immersive Readerīut there's a lot more to Immersive Reader than a basic stripped-down view. Site order in the collection can be managed by simply dragging and dropping, and an Add note button at the top allows you to insert rich text formatted note blocks as well.Īlthough Collections aren't yet generally available in the normal version of Edge, you can find them in both the Dev and Canary channels of Edge Insider. Clicking any collection brings it into focus, showing you a list of sites, with clear titles and thumbnails present. When you click it, a right sidebar slides open, containing a list of any Collections you've already made. The Collections button lives in the browser toolbar and looks like a pair of folders with a plus icon on them. We took the feature for a quick spin, and the utility was obvious-you can easily create and manage lists of websites, with thumbnails and easily readable titles. If you ever find yourself working with a bunch of loosely related websites for a particular task or project, Collections can help you keep it all together.
