Microsoft is in the testing phase of a new feature for its Chromium-based Edge browser, whose necessity is debated. Accordingly, the problem of browsers closing automatically when browser tabs are closed is a thing of the past for most of us. However, according to research, there are many users who like this feature. Here is the new Edge feature and what it offers.
With the new Edge browser feature, the application closing problem ends when the last tab is closed.
Microsoft started testing a new feature in the Canary version of Edge. Accordingly, the browser window will no longer close when you close the last tab. Actually, let’s say that the window will close and open again with an empty tab. As you know, when you first open Edge and other browsers, a page you specify opens. If you do not specify a custom page, Edge opens its home page, which is a page with MSN news and a search bar.
When you close all tabs, the Edge browser will not die and will appear again with an empty tab. This is a very useful feature if you do not like the browser to close when the last tab is closed. But on the contrary, there are those who do not want to use the cross sign to close the browser.
Although it may seem like an artificial discussion, closing the browser window after the last tab is now a part of our lives. Edge seems to divide users into two with this new feature. Currently, the feature of not closing with the last tab is still in the experimental phase. However, it is possible that this feature will also appear in the next Edge update.
Unexpected step from Microsoft! Windows subscription period begins

Browser tabs first came into our lives in 1998. However, Mozilla Firefox, which is famous for its browser tabs and add-ons, has achieved important firsts in this regard. Nowadays, browsers such as Chrome and Edge, which work with add-ons such as Mozilla Firefox, have a significant share in the market.
Chrome has a significant advantage in the browser market. In this sense, it ranks first among the most used browsers with 62.73 percent. Safari, which has become widespread with the growth of the Apple ecosystem, comes in second place with 20.59 percent. Opera and Firefox have a usage percentage of 3 percent and 2.79 percent, respectively.
Do you think it’s annoying that the browser closes when the browser tab is closed? Or does the new Edge browser tab feature actually solve the annoying problem? We are waiting your comments.
