EdgeHTML 13 Is Here, the First Ever Platform Update

Recently, Microsoft has released the very first major update for Windows 10, and with it came EdgeHTML 13, an update to Edge’s rendering engine.

So what exactly is new and improved?

Compared to IE11 and EdgeHTML 12, the latest upgrade bumps the HTML5Test score to 458 (versus 336 and 402 respectively), and with features like asm,js already enabled by default, Edge is now the highest scoring desktop browser in the Kangax ES6 compatibility table.

As far as other features go, long awaited Tab Preview is finally here, as well as Favorites and Reading List sync and wireless multimedia casting.

With the October update being pushed out now, expect more new Edge features in the first quarter of 2016.
