Microsoft's Phoenix aims to modernize Edge with UI upgrades.
Microsoft's Phoenix project is set to revitalize the Edge browser with substantial UI improvements, aligning with the modern aesthetics of Windows 11. This initiative appears under the Phoenix codename and has started making appearances in new Edge Canary builds, with no assurance of being finalized.
Features like msEdgePhoenixColorPaletteGenerator and msUseSnappingPointsForPhoenixPaletteGeneration suggest developments focused on dynamic palettes and new algorithms. Additionally, some proposals like msVisualRejuvTooltips have been removed, highlighting the experimental nature of this process.
Beyond UI changes, Microsoft aims to integrate features like AI-powered translations and Game Assist, enhancing the Edge browser further. These changes illustrate Microsoft's ongoing efforts to ensure Edge is more competitive with Chrome, as it has been trailing in user approval.
