Keep Edge Up to Date

It was purely Security Updates.

"February 17, 2021

Microsoft has released the latest Microsoft Edge Stable Channel (Version 88.0.705.74), which incorporates the latest Security Updates of the Chromium project. For more information, see the Security Update Guide."

Because it involves 2 different 'tools' or utilities that do things differently & have differing functions or methods.  And the fundamental difference that one is inside the browser & the other is not makes for different abilities.

At a glance they 'seem' the same, but, note, it is 2 different K/B shortcuts to initiate them.

Ctrl+Shift+S = Web Capture

Win+Shift+S = Snip & Sketch

You're welcome & yes, it is very similar, BUT... There is, at least, one definite difference... besides Web capture being within Edge.

And that is Web Capture's Full Screen. It allowing to scroll and actually take the whole page, S&S cannot do.  S&S will do a Window Mode snip, which is a fix image (like a photo) of what it ''sees' at that moment.  Whereas Full Screen moves the page to include ALL of it if wanted AND that is what is seen if & when shared or saved.

Even if Rectangular Mode is used for S&S it is a 'fixed' image taken, like a still photograph.  Web Capture will scroll to the bottom & then take the whole page.

S&S cannot do this 👇

S&S Retangular Mode

S&S Windows Mode

Ok, allow me to clarify... Web Capture is (now) 'more' than it was initially.  And within Edge it actually does more & better than S&S. Web capture has some 'controls', but one may not be noticing those icons. First of all, initiating WC, gives 2 buttons, Free Select AND Full Page. Free Select then has Copy OR Add Notes.  Copy is obvious, can then Drop /paste somewhere.  But Add Notes opens up a bunch of possibilities. (See pictures 👇)

Now, Full Page... This is cool... one can move the page and take as much of it as wanted, even, right to the bottom.  And, again, a bunch of possibilities are then available.

Web Capture is available in Canary, Dev & GA and all without a flag. Its button can be turned on in Settings > Appearance

Plus, the neat thing is it's all right within Edge itself.

Gee, maybe somebody heard me telling them (various times, ways, places & people) that it was not X 😂

And here is (all 🙄) the info about it (.53)...

Version 88.0.705.53: January 26Fixed various bugs and performance issues.

"It now states CTRL-Shift-S for web capture."

Where is "It"?  (Depends where one looks or reads). IF you are meaning in the ellipsis, it was always S there.  But, has (& does) say/show X in "We've updated you..."  for someversions or in some blogs & articles. The info from Edge Beta .49 has S.  The same blogs for Dev & Canary have X.

This is 'interesting', too... somewhere in one of the "We've updated you..." blogs, talks about Talk to Type (in Edge) as if it's something exclusive & NEW.  A bit bizarre... Win+H has been an ability in the OS for a long time; can be used to write anywhere, Edge or Notepad or Word or _____; it's not peculiar to Edge nor is it "New".
