With this new addition, currently only available to the mentioned users of Microsoft Edge Canary<\/a>, the in-development version of the Redmond company’s browser; we will be able to view the images in question in a larger window without having to switch tabs or open new windows. Additionally, it appears that this new preview includes the image’s alternative text or a brief description<\/strong> that provides some context about what you are seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Edge continues its quest to incorporate innovations that enhance the user experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned, this new feature is not yet available for all users officially, but it’s true that it can be activated by following some very simple steps<\/strong>, as explained in this link<\/a>. We also outline the steps to activate this new preview of Microsoft Edge<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First, you need to update Microsoft Edge Canary to version 120.0.2198 or newer<\/strong>, which can be done by visiting edge:\/\/settings\/help<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Then, right-click on the Edge Canary shortcut and select “Properties.”<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Go to “Target” and add a space after the path, then enter the following command: \u2013enable-features=msEdgeImageMagnifyUI<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. After making these changes, click “Apply” and then “OK” to save them<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Continuing with these steps, go to “Settings,” then “System and Performance,” and disable the “Use hardware acceleration when available” option<\/strong>, if it is enabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. After completing all these steps, you just need to close the browser and reopen it using the modified shortcut<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. To confirm that everything has worked correctly, go to any webpage, right-click on an image, and select “Enlarge image.”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
