Microsoft Edge gains features steadily over time, but every once in a while Microsoft removes features from its browser. That will be the case in the near future, as the company has listed several tools that will be removed. The removals are part of an effort to “improve end user experience and simplify the More tools menu,” according to Microsoft.
