Microsoft just can’t stop itself from adding new “surfing app features” to Edge.

Once a streamlined tool for browsing the web, Edge now even includes built-in loans.

The latest feature is a sidebar designed to push Microsoft’s online services, including Bejeweled-style Match 3 games.

The sidebar is part of anEdge version 104 updatereleased on August 19, 2022.

I personally saw the sidebar enabled by default when I opened my Edge net surf tool this morning.

Thankfully the sidebar is easy to disable.

What ridiculous feature will be part of Edge when I open Microsoft’s online window next month?

I’m looking forward to finding out.
