The latest Windows 11 preview build includes improvements for that snapping experience (the one that made its debut last year with the launch from the operating-system).

If you're a Microsoft Edge user, Windows 11 preview build 22563, now available for Windows Insiders within the Dev channel, tabs are actually contained in the snap assist screen when snapping windows on screen.

Quite simply, when you wish to run two windows alongside, the snapping experience allows you to jump right to a particular tab in Microsoft Edge, as they are all displayed as thumbnails when snapping windows on the computer.

Microsoft, however, is aware of this might not be everybody's bag, therefore the company has additionally introduced a choice that allows users to disable this behavior when they wish to stick to that old behavior. In other words, you can continue to use the original snapping settings and stick with one Microsoft Edge window, with no choice of tabs displayed in the snapping UI.

Sticking with Microsoft Edge will work better

"We've made it easier still to snap probably the most relevant windows next to each other alongside by introducing Microsoft Edge tabs as suggested windows in snap assist. When a window is snapped, you'll now see 3 of your most recent Edge tabs shown (by default) as suggestions. You could control whether to show Microsoft Edge tabs and number of tabs shown when snapping or pressing ALT + TAB via Settings > System > Multitasking," Microsoft explains.

This is clearly a welcome improvement for Microsoft Edge users, and it once again implies that sticking with the native browser is something which makes more sense on Windows 11 thanks to its deep integration in to the operating-system.

The share of Microsoft Edge on the desktop is booming anyway, though according to third-party data, Google Chrome remains the key browser with approximately 70 percent market share using the pc alone.
