Introduction:

For years, I’ve been jumping from one web browser to another, always in search of a better user experience. Recently, I settled on Brave for its minimal yet capable interface. However, my search for the perfect browser came to an end when I started using Bing Chat on Microsoft Edge. Through this, I discovered the power of Edge’s Sidebar and how it has transformed the way I work.

In this blog, I’ll share my experience with Edge’s Sidebar and how it has boosted my productivity.

Streamlining Workflow with Edge’s Sidebar

As someone who spends most of their workday in a web browser, I try to keep myself confined to it. This means having multiple tabs open for different websites like Slack, Twitter, analytics tools, and more. However, the Sidebar has made it possible for me to add these websites to it and access them quickly and easily without having to switch tabs.

Furthermore, the Sidebar’s split-screen feature allows me to view two different websites simultaneously. This has been incredibly useful when I need to keep an eye on my analytics while browsing live content on my website.

Minimizing Disruptions with Edge’s Sidebar

Switching tabs may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can disrupt focus and lead to loss of productivity. The Sidebar has minimized these disruptions by providing quick access to the websites I use frequently. With everything I need in one place, I no longer need to waste time switching between tabs.

The Handy Tools Built into Edge’s Sidebar

    The Edge Sidebar isn’t just a collection of website shortcuts; it also features some useful tools built-in. These include quick access to Outlook, a calculator, a unit converter, and more.

    The toolbox is a feature I’ve found incredibly useful, and the calculator has become my go-to when I need to crunch some numbers quickly. I appreciate that some features, like Shopping and Skype, can be turned off if they aren’t needed.

    Drop – A Killer Tool for Sharing Files

    Drop is another new feature in Edge that is a game-changer. This file-sharing tool is fast and efficient and enables me to share files between all my Microsoft Edge instances simultaneously.

    Sharing files with Drop is much easier and faster than using traditional file-sharing methods like email or cloud storage services. Plus, the fact that it shares files between all my Edge instances at the same time is just brilliant.

    Microsoft Edge – A Great Browser with Useful Features

    Microsoft Edge has come a long way since its inception and now boasts many useful features that make it a strong contender in the browser market. The Sidebar and Drop are just two of the standout features that have won me over.

    While some features may not appeal to everyone, it’s clear that Microsoft has put a lot of thought into creating useful tools that add real value to the browsing experience.

    Conclusion:

    The Sidebar has revolutionized the way I work and has made Microsoft Edge my go-to browser. Its streamlined design and useful features have boosted my productivity and minimized disruptions. It’s proof that when developers create software that makes a difference to how people conduct their online business, anything is possible. If you’re looking for a browser that can keep up with your productivity demands, Microsoft Edge’s Sidebar is definitely worth checking out.
