Microsoft Edge started testing a weather and news widget earlier this year. It is similar to the one that was added to the Windows 10 taskbar. Subin from our team spotted the feature in Edge Canary a couple of months ago. Microsoft has been working to improve the feature and is now testing a floating desktop search widget.
To test out the floating desktop search widget, make sure you are running the latest Microsoft Edge Canary build. Then, click on the horizontal three dots menu at the top right corner and go to Settings. Here, navigate to the ‘New tab page’ settings from the left sidebar. You will see a new ‘Get Search and personalized news anytime’ section. You can then enable the feature or launch the widget right away.
