报道：微软Edge浏览器实用技巧盘点——十大功能助你提升效率

继Internet Explorer之后，微软Edge浏览器凭借谷歌Chromium内核，已成为全球最受欢迎的浏览器之一。它不仅能兼容所有现代Chrome扩展，还拥有诸多独家功能。以下是经过长期使用总结的十大Edge浏览器高效技巧，兼顾性能优化与便捷操作：

一、跨设备文件互传：Drop功能
Edge内置的“Drop”功能可将链接、文件及笔记在电脑与手机间轻松互传。该功能基于OneDrive云端存储，需在所有设备登录同一微软账户。虽不如苹果AirDrop即时，但优势在于无需设备解锁或同处一个WiFi网络，适合异步分享。桌面端通过“更多工具”菜单开启，移动端需在菜单编辑中添加该按钮。

二、内置任务管理器：精准定位资源占用
当浏览器卡顿时，按Shift+Esc即可呼出Edge专属任务管理器。相比系统任务管理器，它仅显示浏览器进程，能清晰列出每个标签页和扩展占用的CPU、内存等资源。找到“罪魁祸首”后点击“结束任务”即可，无需关闭标签页。还支持搜索特定标签，适合同时开启上百个页面的用户。

三、分屏功能：双标签页并排显示
Edge的“分屏”功能让两个标签页在同一窗口内并排显示，无需另开新窗口。该功能早于Chrome推出。默认隐藏在菜单中，用户可进入“设置>外观>工具栏”将其添加至工具栏。分屏后支持调整标签位置和切换垂直布局，学习工作时可一边看文档一边看视频。

四、垂直标签页：释放屏幕空间
启用垂直标签页后，标签列表移至左侧单列面板，为网页内容腾出更多横向空间。进入“设置>外观>标签页”开启该功能，建议同时开启“隐藏标题栏”和“折叠面板”以获得更简洁的视觉效果。

五、AI标签分组：自动整理混乱标签页
当标签页过多难以管理时，点击左上角下拉箭头选择“整理标签页”，Edge的AI功能将自动按主题（如新闻、财经）进行分组，并支持拖拽自定义。

六、节能模式：减少卡顿与延长续航
开启“节能模式”后，Edge会自动将后台标签页设为休眠状态。这不仅减少浏览器卡顿，据微软称还能平均延长25分钟电池续航。入口位于“设置>系统与性能>性能”。

七、关闭“启动加速”：旧电脑提速
“启动加速”让Edge在后台保持最低资源运行以实现快速启动，适合配置强劲的设备。但对老电脑或不喜欢后台驻留的用户，建议在“设置>系统与性能>系统”中关闭此功能。

八、禁用不必要的AI功能：精简体验
若觉得Copilot等AI功能冗余，可在“设置>AI创新”中关闭Copilot模式，并在“外观”中隐藏工具栏按钮。此外，还可关闭“上下文线索”禁止AI使用浏览数据，以及禁用“翻译视频”和“帮我写作”等AI相关辅助功能。

九、朗读功能：语音阅读网页文章
该功能虽较隐蔽，但效果自然。点击“更多工具>朗读”或使用快捷键Ctrl+Shift+U（Mac为Cmd+Shift+U）即可启动，移动端同样支持。

十、视觉搜索：以图搜图识别网页内容
右键点击网页任意图片或元素，选择“视觉搜索”即可进行反向图片搜索。该功能会截取网页截图并发送至微软，用户需同意隐私声明后方可使用，移动版同样适用。

微软Edge是全球最受欢迎的浏览器之一。作为Internet Explorer的精神继承者，Edge是一款基于谷歌Chromium平台的现代浏览器。这意味着你可以使用所有现代Chrome扩展程序，同时还拥其他浏览器可能不具备的独家功能。我在Windows上使用Edge已经有一段时间了，以下是我迄今为止发现的最喜欢的技巧：

使用Drop功能向其他设备发送链接、文件和笔记
Edge的"Drop"功能是一种将内容从桌面发送到移动设备（反之亦然）的简便方式。Drop通过将文件存储在OneDrive上来运行，因此你需要在所有设备上登录同一个微软账户才能有效使用此功能。它不像苹果的AirDrop那样快，因为它使用的是云存储，但Drop在异步共享方面表现更佳。这意味着当你想要共享内容时，你的设备不需要处于解锁状态并连接在同一个WiFi网络下。
你可以在桌面上打开Microsoft Edge，点击右上角的三个点，然后转到"更多工具" > "Drop"来访问Drop功能。在你想使用Drop的任何设备（PC、Mac、安卓手机、iPhone、iPad等）上安装Edge，并确保你登录了你的微软账户。现在，你可以将任何内容"放入"Drop，它就会出现在你的所有设备上。请注意，在移动设备上的Edge中，Drop并不容易直接看到。你需要打开菜单，选择"所有菜单"选项，然后使用"编辑"功能将任意一个工具栏项目替换为Drop。

使用Edge内置的任务管理器来关闭资源占用大户
每当Edge变慢时，使用浏览器内置的任务管理器来定位问题。我发现这比使用Windows的任务管理器（或Mac的活动监视器）更好：浏览器有几十个进程在运行，很难确定导致变慢的原因。使用Edge任务管理器，你只会看到与浏览器相关的进程。按Shift+Esc键可以访问它，或者点击三条线的菜单，然后选择"更多工具" > "浏览器任务管理器"。在这里，重点关注"标签页和扩展程序"。它会清晰地高亮显示每个标签页或扩展程序占用的系统资源。找到问题所在后，选中它并点击"结束进程"。你可以在浏览器中轻松禁用占用资源过多的扩展程序，而无需关闭标签页，也不必担心丢失数据。
你甚至可以使用任务管理器中的搜索框来定位特定的标签页，这对那些在浏览器中打开数百个标签页的人来说非常有用。任务管理器中的"浏览器"标签页会高亮显示与维持浏览器运行相关的进程，最适合有技术经验的用户来识别浏览器问题。大多数人在"标签页和扩展程序"部分就能找到他们需要的信息。

使用此快捷键并排打开两个标签页
Microsoft Edge有一个名为"分屏"的功能，可以让你并排打开两个标签页，而无需打开新窗口。这个功能在谷歌Chrome上推出，比Edge晚了很多。我喜欢分屏功能，但唯一的抱怨是它默认隐藏在三点菜单下。你可以通过点击三个点，然后进入"设置" > "外观" > "工具栏"，并启用"分屏"来更改此设置。这会在工具栏上添加一个"分屏"按钮，使该功能易于访问。
完成后，打开任意一个标签页，点击"分屏"按钮，你就会看到两个标签页并排显示。你可以使用此功能将标签页配对，例如将Google Docs与YouTube配对，以便在学习时做笔记。只要窗口保持打开状态，Edge就会保留你所有的分屏标签页，因此你不必担心重复设置分屏标签页。在分屏模式下，你可以点击任一标签页右上角的三个点，根据自己的喜好配置此功能。你可以交换两个标签页的位置，或者切换到垂直分屏布局。

尝试垂直标签页以释放屏幕空间
垂直标签页是所有桌面浏览器的更优选择。它将标签页列表移到左侧的单个窗格中，从而为你的内容扩展了可用的屏幕空间。这意味着更少的滚动、更大的视频观看框，以及总体上更优的屏幕空间利用。你可以在Microsoft Edge中通过进入"Edge设置" > "外观" > "标签页"并启用"显示垂直标签页"来开启此功能。为了获得简洁的外观，你还应该启用"在垂直标签页中隐藏标题栏"，并启用"在标签栏中折叠窗格"以减少垂直标签栏的宽度。

使用AI标签分组来自动组织你的标签页
尝试使用Edge的AI标签分组来组织你数量繁多的标签页。它不如手动创建标签组那么好，但当你被超出合理处理范围的标签页压得喘不过气时，这是整理混乱状况的一个很好的策略。要使用它，点击浏览器窗口左上角的下箭头，然后选择"组织标签页"。此功能会按主题（新闻与媒体、财经与投资等）对标签页进行分组，并允许你拖放标签页来自定义你的分组。

使用"节能模式"减少卡顿
Microsoft Edge有一种节能模式，可以自动将后台标签页置于休眠状态。根据微软的说法，这将减少当你打开大量标签页时浏览器卡顿的可能性，并且平均能延长你的电池寿命约25分钟。要启用此功能，请进入"Edge设置" > "系统和性能" > "性能"，然后打开"启用节能模式"。

关闭"启动加速"以加快你的旧电脑
对于拥有强大硬件的PC或笔记本电脑用户来说，"启动加速"是一个很棒的功能。它让Edge以最少的资源在后台保持运行，这样每次打开应用程序时都能更快地启动。然而，对于较旧的电脑，或者不喜欢关闭应用程序后仍在后台运行的用户来说，这个功能并不理想。如果你的电脑比较旧，最好还是关闭启动加速。你可以通过进入"Edge设置" > "系统和性能" > "系统"来禁用它。

禁用Copilot以移除不必要的AI功能
虽然Edge有一些有用的AI功能，比如标签页组织，但也有大量我从未使用过的功能。如果你像我一样，花点时间禁用所有不必要的AI功能。首先，进入"Edge设置" > "AI创新"，禁用"Copilot模式"。此选项可能并非在所有账户上都能启用，所以如果你看不到这个开关，可以直接跳过。
接下来，进入"Edge设置" > "外观" > "Copilot和侧边栏" > "Copilot"。关闭"在工具栏上显示Copilot按钮"。在同一页面上，点击"管理Copilot设置" > "隐私"，关闭"上下文线索"，这将阻止AI利用你的浏览数据来回答问题。你还应该进入"Edge设置" > "开始、主页和新建标签页"，并禁用"Copilot新建标签页"。
你还可以进入"Edge设置" > "语言"，并禁用描述中提到AI的所有功能。这包括"在支持的网站上提供视频翻译"和"使用网络上的'帮我写'写作助手"。最后，如果你也不想使用AI标签页组织功能，可以通过进入"Edge设置" > "隐私、搜索和服务"，并禁用"组织你的标签页"来关闭它。

使用此设置让Edge为你朗读文章
Edge有一个稍微隐藏的功能，可以为你朗读文章（而且，在我看来，语音听起来相当自然）。它藏在三点按钮 > "更多工具" > "大声朗读"下面。或者，你也可以使用键盘快捷键Ctrl+Shift+U（Mac上是Cmd+Shift+U），该功能在移动平台上也可用。

使用"视觉搜索"搜索网页上的任何项目
"视觉搜索"功能让你可以右键单击来搜索给定网页上的任何内容。例如，你可以对在YouTube视频中看到的物品进行反向图片搜索，或者选择图片中的某个地标来了解更多信息。当你想要使用此功能时，请注意它会截取网页截图并发送给微软。这涉及到隐私问题，但公平地说，微软会就此向你发出警告，并且要求你同意隐私声明才能使用该功能。你可以右键单击Edge中的任意网页，然后选择"视觉搜索"来开始使用。该功能在Edge移动版上也可用。

Microsoft Edge is one of the most popular browsers on the planet. The spiritual successor to Internet Explorer, Edge is a modern browser based on Google's Chromium platform. That means you can use it with all modern Chrome extensions, along with a bunch of exclusive features that other browsers may not have. I've used Edge on Windows for quite a while, and these are my favorite hacks that I've found so far:
Use Drop to send links, files, and notes to other devices
Edge's "Drop" feature is an easy way to send stuff from your desktop to mobile devices, and vice versa. Drop works by storing files on OneDrive, so you'll need to sign in to the same Microsoft account on all devices to use this feature effectively. It's not as fast as Apple's AirDrop since it uses cloud storage, but Drop is much better for asynchronous sharing. This means your devices don't have to be unlocked and on the same wifi network when you want to share things.
You can access Drop by opening Microsoft Edge on desktop, clicking the three dots in the top-right corner, and going to More tools > Drop. Install Edge on any devices you want to use Drop with (PCs, Macs, Android phones, iPhones, iPads, etc.) and make sure you sign in to your Microsoft account. Now, you can "drop" anything in Drop, and it'll appear on all your devices. Note that Drop isn't easily visible on Edge for mobile devices. You need to open the menu, select the All Menu option, and use the Edit feature to replace any one toolbar item with Drop.
Use Edge's built-in task manager to kill resource hogs
Whenever Edge slows down, use the browser's built-in task manager to locate the problem. I find this better than using Windows' Task Manager (or Mac's Activity Monitor): Browsers have dozens of processes running, making it difficult to identify the cause of a slowdown. With the Edge task manager, you'll only see browser-related processes. Press Shift-Esc to access this, or go to the three-lines menu, followed by More tools > Browser task manager. Here, focus on Tabs & extensions. It neatly highlights the system resources each tab or extension is hogging. When you've found the culprit, select it and click End task. You can easily disable a heavy extension in the browser without closing tabs and worrying about losing your data.
You can even use the search box in the task manager to locate certain tabs, which is useful for those of us who open hundreds of tabs in the browser. The "Browser" tab in the task manager highlights processes related to keeping the browser running, which is best for technically experienced users to identify browser issues. Most people will find what they need in the "Tabs & extensions" section.
Use this shortcut to open two tabs side-by-side
Microsoft Edge has a feature called "Split screen," which lets you open two tabs side by side, without opening a new window. This feature arrived on Google Chrome long after Edge shipped it. I love Split screen, but my only complaint is that it's buried under the three-dots menu by default. You can change this by clicking the three dots, then heading to Settings > Appearance > Toolbar, and enabling Split screen. This adds a "Split screen" button to the toolbar, making the feature easy to access.
Once you've done that, open any tab, click the Split screen button, and you'll see the two tabs side by side. You can use this feature to pair sets of tabs together, like Google Docs with YouTube to take notes while studying. Edge preserves all of your Split screen tabs as long as the window is open, so you don't have to worry about setting up Split screen tabs repeatedly. When you're in Split screen, you can click the three dots in the top-right corner of either tab to configure this feature to your liking. You can swap the two tabs' positions, or switch to a vertical split-screen layout.
Try vertical tabs to free up screen real estate
Vertical tabs are the superior choice for all desktop browsers. It moves the tabs list to a single pane on the left, and expands the available screen space for your content. This means less scrolling, a bigger frame for watching videos, and generally more optimal use of screen real estate. You can enable this in Microsoft Edge by going to Edge settings > Appearance > Tabs, and enabling Show vertical tabs. You should also enable Hide title bar in vertical tabs for a streamlined look, and Collapse pane in the tab bar to reduce the width of the vertical tab bar.
Use AI tab grouping to organize your tabs automatically
Try using Edge's AI tab grouping to organize your unwieldy number tabs. It's not as good as manually making tab groups, but when you're overwhelmed with more tabs than you can reasonably handle, this is a great strategy to sort out the mess. To use it, click the down arrow in the top-left corner of the browser's window, and select Organize tabs. This feature groups tabs by subject (News & Media, Finance & Investment, etc.), and allows you to drag and drop tabs to customize your groups.
Use "energy saver" to reduce slowdowns
Microsoft Edge has an energy saver mode that automatically puts background tabs to sleep. This will reduce the chances of a browser slowdown when you have lots of open tabs, and also extends your battery life by an average of 25 minutes, according to Microsoft. To enable the feature, go to Edge settings > System and performance > Performance, and turn on Enable energy saver.
Turn off "Startup boost" to speed up your old PC
Startup boost is a great feature for anyone with PCs or laptops with powerful hardware. It keeps Edge running in the background with minimal resources, so the app can launch faster each time you open it. However, it's not ideal for older computers, or for users who dislike apps running in the background after they've closed them. If your computer is on the older side, you're better off without Startup boost. You can disable it by going to Edge settings > System and performance > System.
Disable Copilot to remove unnecessary AI features
While Edge has some useful AI features like tab organization, there are a whole bunch of features I never use. If you're like me, take a minute to disable all unnecessary AI features. First, go to Edge settings > AI innovations, and disable Copilot Mode. This option may not be enabled on all accounts, so if you don't see the toggle, you can move on.
Next, go to Edge settings > Appearance > Copilot and sidebar > Copilot. Turn off Show Copilot button on the toolbar. On the same page, click Manage Copilot settings > Privacy, and turn off Context clues, which stops the AI from using your browsing data for answers. You should also go to Edge settings > Start, home, and new tab page, and disable Copilot new tab page.
You can also go to Edge settings > Languages and disable all features that mention AI in the description. This includes Offer to translate videos on supported sites and Use 'Help me write' writing assistant on the web. Finally, if you don't want to use AI tab organization either, you can turn it off by going to Edge settings > Privacy, search, and services, and disabling Organize your tabs.
Use this setting to ask Edge to read articles out loud
Edge has a bit of a hidden feature that lets it read articles to you (and, in my opinion, the voice sounds pretty natural). This is buried under the three-dots button > More tools > Read aloud. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-U (or Cmd-Shift-U on Mac), and the feature is also available on mobile platforms.
Use "Visual Search" to search for any item on the webpage
Visual Search lets you right-click to start a search for anything on a given webpage. For instance, you can reverse image search an item you spot in a YouTube video, or select a landmark in a picture to learn more about it. When you want to use this feature, be aware that it takes a screenshot of the webpage and sends it to Microsoft. This is a privacy concern, but to be fair, Microsoft warns you about that, and requires you to agree to a privacy statement if you want to use the feature. You can right-click any webpage in Edge, and select Visual Search to get started. The feature is also available on mobile versions of Edge.
