Microsoft is continuously working to offer new customization features for its browsers and now comes colored themes for Edge Canary. The experimental feature is already available for the Chromium-based browser and you'll be able to choose from 15 different color options to enable in a few simple steps.
Both the official version of Edge and the Canary one already offer the possibility of customization to users who choose them as browser, for example between light or dark theme. Or, allowing you to set custom themes to be added through ad-hoc extension downloads. Microsoft now aims to improve its browser even more, inserting for now only in the Beta version of Edge Canary the possibility to change the color of the theme from the default one. If the tests are successful, very soon the version could be released for Microsoft Edge as well.
