A recent update to Edge Dev adds the Touch Mode feature to the Appearance setting.

It’s a subtle change that only affects a few aspects of the internet tool at the moment.

But the addition of touch mode to Edge shows that Microsoft is placing some priority on touch.

That should make some happy, since users have complained about thelackluster touch experience of Edge.

The same update also improves reliability when accessing the Password manager page on Edge for iOS.

A number of bug fixes ship with the update as well.

It’s based on Chromium, so it’s compatible with the vast majority of the web.
