Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, although competing browsers, use the same Chromium-based code engine. Using this engine, Microsoft has developed a new feature that increases SVG support in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This feature makes using SVG images easier and more efficient.
Improved SVG support in Chrome and Edge
Microsoft has developed a feature that makes using images in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format even easier. This feature eliminates the difficulties that many users face. While browsers generally do not provide sufficient support for images in SVG format, users have tried to overcome this problem with various temporary solutions. The new feature developed by Microsoft aims to solve this problem radically.
Async Clipboard API updates
Microsoft has updated the Async Clipboard API, improving its read and write methods to allow for seamless copying of SVG content between native and web applications. This is a major upgrade for users because SVG images are memory efficient and do not lose quality when resized. This means users can now easily copy and paste SVG images between browsers.
Current status of SVG support in browsers
Since Microsoft has added its changes to the Chromium repository, the feature is now available in other browsers like Chrome and Opera. It has also updated the Clipboard API W3C specification, standardizing the feature. This feature is already available in Edge version 124, which was released in May. If you have feedback about the feature or implementation, you can share your thoughts in the GitHub repository or in the Edge browser under “Settings and more (…) > Help and feedback > Send feedback.”
Edge took off! Microsoft’s move that makes Chrome jealous
Microsoft Edge has accelerated its speed with the WebUI 2.0 update, it will now be much smoother and faster. Here are the details…
Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have significantly improved the user experience by introducing improved support for SVG images. With SVG support in Chrome and Edge, users can easily copy and paste images, speeding up their workflow and providing more efficient use. This innovation offers a significant advantage for designers and developers by enabling more efficient use of SVG images in browser-based projects.
