Microsoft is testing a new Edge feature that will make the sidebar even more useful. With Canary 114.01.1789.0, you can now pin it directly to your desktop, as shown in the video below:

Last month, Microsoft announced image generation technology built right into Edge and is now slowly making it available to users around the world. Using this tool is simple: type a query into Bing to find the images you want. Bing will then generate a number of relevant images for you to work with. All you have to do is download the ones you like and use them as you see fit.

Microsoft has added the ability to block automatic video playback to its Edge browser. The feature is now available for testers on the Canary channel, where it has joined the list of existing resolution settings and playback restrictions

Microsoft continues to add new features to Bing even beyond the GPT-based chatbot. According to a blog post, the AI-powered search engine can now generate stories for some searches, providing you with a small multimedia presentation about the subject matter. Microsoft says that this approach will allow you to "consume information in bite-sized chunks" when searching for specific topics.

At a time when the cryptocurrency market is not doing too well, Microsoft is deciding to build a wallet for storing them right into the Edge browser. This was reported by personal sources to The Verge. According to them, the giant has been testing the feature internally for several months.

Edge already had a good built-in PDF viewer, but Microsoft decided to replace it with a version from Adobe Acrobat that includes "advanced" features, albeit paid for.
