Microsoft Edge Autofill Features Update

Microsoft Edge Enhances Autofill with New Features

Microsoft’s recent focus on artificial intelligence (AI) is evident in its ongoing updates, particularly for its Edge browser. Among the latest enhancements is the introduction of **Copilot Mode**, which integrates AI capabilities, furthering the browser’s functionality. However, it’s important to note that alongside these innovations, Microsoft is also dedicated to refining existing features, especially the autofill capabilities in Edge.

New Autofill Functionality in Microsoft Edge 142

Currently available in the Beta Channel, Microsoft Edge 142 introduces a noteworthy improvement to the autofill feature. Users filling out forms will now be prompted to confirm whether they want to save entered address details, a change aimed at minimizing unwanted entries in the autofill suggestions. Microsoft emphasizes that this enhancement ensures data is intentionally saved:

Improved Autofill experience in Microsoft Edge. When users fill in an Address on a form, they’ll be prompted to choose whether to save it for future Autofill suggestions. This enhancement ensures Autofill data is saved intentionally by users and reduces unwanted entries as part of their Autofill suggestion. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don’t see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.

Performance Improvements with WebUI 2 Updates

Beyond the autofill updates, Microsoft is making strides with the **WebUI 2** improvements for Edge. The latest additions indicate that Microsoft’s PDF viewer will be migrated to this upgraded interface, which promises significant performance enhancements. Reports from the Microsoft 365 Roadmap highlight that many existing elements of the Edge browser are being upgraded to WebUI 2, resulting in a remarkable 40% reduction in load times across various features.

How to Access the New Features

If you’re eager to experience the upgraded autofill functionality, you can download the latest Beta version from the Microsoft Edge Insider website. Keep in mind that this feature is being released gradually, so it may take some time before it becomes available on your device.

As Microsoft continues to innovate, users can look forward to enhanced features that not only leverage AI but also improve the overall performance and usability of the Edge browser.
