MicrosoftIntroducing improvements to the Collections experience
William Devereux Every time my DEV browser is updated and new features like improvements to collections are announced I never see them till a few releases later. Is it a geographical roll out? How to see the new features immediately?

Same here, in fact everyone is experiencing this.
can't tell which country receives a feature first. for example, History and open tabs sync were at first available to UK only and then rolled out to everyone in the world.
now the web widget is available mostly to US but it should gradually rollout to everyone in the world as well.
if you want to get the features first, the easiest method would be to use a system-wide VPN, aka not an extension VPN, but a VPN that runs on OS level, then try out different countries.
I've tried it many times and confirm it works. after you switch countries, make sure to restart Edge 2 or 3 times, wait few seconds after each restart.
Have been a Windows insider since 2014. Over time the testing and launching of features and builds has become more elaborate. Rollouts may be announced but we may not be immediate candidates. Depending on a number of factors it can be a few days or more before we get to test. Instructions for the Windows insider program even state that some users may get a different version of a new feature than others. One could guess that if your device lends itself to one variant working better than another that is what you might get first. Also, there may be a process needed to turn the feature on. The Edge 'flags' settings are currently used to turn on Vertical tabs for some versions of Edge. If you don't change the 'flags' setting you might not see it. Also, some features require user effort to turn them on and require a re-boot to activate. Lots of variables here. In the end we will (likely) get features or variants to test that will likely be better than the initial release.
R_Starzuft Makes sense. Thanks.
