To unlock edge://surf, create a Collection named “Microsoft Edge” and add four items that spell “S.U.R.F.” This currently only works in the Canary channel.

The new Microsoft Edge logo looks less like the logo of Internet Explorer. Some people confuse Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer due to the apps’ similar icons. This icon refresh will likely distinguish the browsers a bit more for people.

The Chromium version of Microsoft Edge has been in testing for several months, including Canary, Dev, and Beta versions of the browser. There is no release date for the new version of Microsoft Edge, but the new logo suggests that a public release could arrive in the near future.
