Microsoft Edge Canary gets the new Sharing Hub feature
2021-05-28 13:14

Microsoft Edge Canary has received a new experimental Chromium-based Sharing Hub feature that makes it easier to share content with other people.

Earlier this month, Google added a new experimental feature to Google Chrome Canary that adds a paper plan icon to your address bar, that when clicked, opens a new Sharing Hub feature.

Microsoft Edge already can share a web page using Windows 10's native sharing controls under Settings > Share.

This native sharing feature is missing from the new Chromium Sharing Hub dialog and would be a perfect fit for Microsoft to add for Windows users.

Update 5/30/21: Microsoft sleuth Leopeva64 has told BleepingComputer that some users who are logged in with their Microsoft account may see the 'Share' option in the Sharing Hub, but it has not rolled out for all users.

Once Microsoft Edge restarts, you will see the new sharing dialog in the browser's address bar.
