Microsoft is ready for Windows 10 testers to start using Edge browser extensions. After an extended wait for the beta feature, Microsoft is releasing Windows 10 build 14291 today with browser extensions support for Edge.

"We’re participating in the W3C Browser Extension Community Group’s efforts to define standardized extension APIs based on familiar web technologies," says a Microsoft spokesperson.

Washington: Software giant Microsoft would launch a new Windows 10 Mobile build sometime this week, and one of the changes that could be part of this release is targeting the Action Center and the quick actions. The Redmond-based firm is working on a new feature that would enable users to rearrange quick actions in the Action Center with drag and drop, according to WinBeta report. The users can arrange quick actions in any order they want and can add or remove them freely. This, you can have, only the ones you need the most showing up in the Action Center, as compared to the existing version of Windows 10 Mobile, which permits such customization only for the first row. If the next build doesn't bring this improvement, then the next one is likely to come with it, as the company is already testing it internally and the results look good, as per the report.

Microsoft is bringing more customization options to quick actions found in the Action Center on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, with latest internal builds allowing the user to drag-n-drop actions into any order they please, making for a much more personalized and customizable quick action bar. Unlike with the current public version of Windows 10, the new and improved quick action customization options allow actions to be placed in any order, even when the quick actions area is expanded in Action Center. On the current public builds of Windows 10, only the first row of quick actions are customizable. Furthermore, internal builds now allow you to add and remove quick actions as you please, meaning users can now select only a specific amount of quick actions that they want to show up in Action Center, instead of having all of them display even if you don’t use them. This too should help make the Action Center more personal. Microsoft is doing lots to improve the Action Center exp...
