Windows 10 October 2020 Update is finally available for download, even though it's not a massive update, a minimum of less massive because the May 2020 Update, still it comes with improvements that are definitely worth looking at.

Included in this, there's the overhaul of Microsoft Edge, the company's reinvented browser which now works on the Chromium engine, which also powers Google Chrome and many other browsers.

Microsoft has pushed hard to result in the new Edge the most well-liked option for its users, and on Windows 10, the browser is offered as the new default on the system. And also the migration to Chromium also allowed the company to grow it beyond the world of Windows 10, all with versions that are available today for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, macOS, and Linux (currently within the Dev channel only).

In the last few weeks, Microsoft presented plenty of improvements for Edge, including for Collections, along with the new Price Comparison tool that comes just at the right time.

Microsoft explains:

"With this update comes the latest and greatest version of the brand new Microsoft Edge. Since launching in January, we've seen phenomenal growth and we're excited it's one of them update. If you haven't yet tried the new Microsoft Edge, you need to launch it and try it since we've built a better browser with increased performance, more privacy and more value back when you browse.

If you're already using our new browser, then you've seen first-hand how fast it is and we're adding new features every six weeks. Try out Collections to simply save and share content you can find online. It's ideal for holiday shopping, school research as well as planning next spring's camping trip. And delay pills work across PC and mobile so you're always in sync. We've also added Price Comparison so that you can locate fairly easily the best price whenever you add an item to a collection, before holiday shopping. Actually, we're proud to say Microsoft Edge is the best browser for shopping this holiday."

There's two major improvements that come to Edge users in Windows 10 October 2020 Update.

The very first of them is support for the Alt + Tab window switcher that's been available in Windows since forever. Beginning with this new feature update, Microsoft Edge tabs are contained in the app switcher, which means that you won't see just the running apps, but the active tabs inside your browser. Quite simply, you can now switch not just to Microsoft Edge using the Alt + Tab UI but to the tab that you're searching for (if a number of them are running simultaneously).

This is something that comes in extremely handy, particularly if you also have greater than a tab active in Microsoft Edge. I typically rely on Alt + Tab to switch apps on my laptop, and thanks to this addition, the workflow has improved substantially, as jumping from the specific window to the tab which i need is now just a matter of seconds.

And the second Edge update that comes with this Windows 10 feature update concerns the choice to pin websites towards the taskbar. Starting with the October 2020 Update, when you pin a particular web site to the taskbar, simply hovering the icon displays all open tabs of the identical site, so theoretically, it's again much easier to leap towards the page that you'll require in Microsoft Edge.

Overall, this Windows 10 feature update helps make the knowledge about Edge feel even more deeper, and it's pretty clear the browser turns into a more important part of the operating system as a whole. And when you're not using Edge already, you will need to give it a try, there's without a doubt.
