Let me get this out of the way first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it is true that I seldom write anything positive about Microsoft.<\/p>\n

No, I am feeling just fine, but thanks for your concern.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I kind of like Microsoft’s new browser<\/a> – Edge.<\/p>\n

I can’t say that I anticipate Edge becoming my daily workhorse, but it seems suited to one process I do a lot. I locate content, annotate and highlight that content, save what I have marked up, reflect on several marked up documents, and then write something. I have a system for doing this from PDFs (mostly journal articles I download), but I have yet to find a perfect system for doing this with web content.<\/p>\n

Edge has what I regard as reasonable markup and share tools built in. I can’t really say that build in tools are better than capabilities added as plugins or extensions, but I am just guessing that there is an efficiency advantage. As long as a browser does not integrate too many capabilities, built in would seem to offer advantages. This is the present state of Edge.<\/p>\n

The icon to activate the annotation\/highlight options appears in the upper-right corner of the browser display.<\/p>\n

Selecting the annotation icons opens up a tool display (top left-hand corner). You can highlight, write\/draw directly on the browser image, or add a text comment. Your finished work can be saved to OneNote or shared to several to one of several options (I save work to Evernote).<\/p>\n

My only complaint at this point is the method of highlighting. I would prefer a highlighter that carefully follows a line of text. The Edge highlighter is used like an actual highlighter meaning my highlights come out messy rather than neat.<\/p>\n
