Edge has two features I actually like: - integrated screen shot, which includes a “full webpage” option that handles scrolling for you - Split View, which lets you open two webpages side by side within a single tab I use both of these daily and get a decent productivity boost from them.

It's funny because Firefox and Chrome both support full webpage screenshots natively, but they just bury it in their dev tools.

  The screenshot feature is easily accessible in Firefox using the right-click context menu on any webpage

    If you customize your toolbar you can also add a button for it there

    If Mozilla really is as shady about user data as some people think they've become, someone's about to be pretty confused about why they suddenly have hundreds of nearly-identical screenshots of this HN page on their servers

All the major browsers can do the screenshot thing, most just keep it hidden in the dev tools for some reason while MS realized “hey, people who have no idea what html is might like taking screenshots too”.

I used to use edge quite a bit when I did a contract stint at a Fortune 500. My favorite feature was the vertical tabs. Working there I often has 20-30 tabs open and having them in a vertical list was super nice. Never used it since because of data privacy concerns. But in the context of working for that company where the assumption was that I would have zero privacy it was fine

  Firefox has vertical tabs now, but they are still behind a feature flag I think. Using them for some time now and it's working great.

    Also, the Sidebery extension for Firefox is great for vertical tabs.

there are quite a few features like this. I actually did a comparison of chromium vs edge headers yesterday, it's a lot more than a rebrand. shame the source code is proprietary https://github.com/pl4nty/msedge/commit/96aa52634072b12fa175f53eb95be7e3a7a03237 https://github.com/pl4nty/msedge/commit/96aa52634072b12fa175...
