Add the ability to ink on web pages [under review for 1 week]
Inking for PDF files [added and it's being worked on, you can try it in Edge canary channel]
I hope we get the ink support, I absolutely use the PDF annotations and OneNote integration all the time - it's the primary use of my SP4. Looking forward to seeing it in Edge Chromium - the OneNote integration now is OK but all it is is bookmarks and screenshots.
- You're right, I hope Microsoft don't replace the new Edge with Edge classic until it has got all those features too.
the OneNote extension is available yea but that's not for Microsoft's browser, they made it for 3rd party browsers such as Google chrome, Microsoft's browser needs an integrated and full featured solution.I installed the new Chromium Edge that was released Jan 15. It did replace the Edge classic (I knew it would). Pen support on my Surface Pro is lacking. You get blue ink, that's it! No option for pen width. The eraser on the pen no longer functions, you must select the eraser icon and use it to erase. There is no highlighter. Edge was my default for viewing and marking up pdf files but no longer. I'll no longer use Edge in class for highlighting web pages to students and I'll no longer recommend students use Edge for viewing and marking up pdf files.
I understand the Chromium Edge is a work in progress and it takes time to add functionality. I do hope these inking functions that were available in classic edge will make it into the new Chromium Edge soon.
Other than the loss of pen functionality, I like the new Edge.
- Highlighter, different colors, ability to change inking thickness etc are all available in Edge canary and Dev, they will be shipped to Beta and then stable channel soon. so meanwhile you can use the higher channels side by side the stable channel.

you can even use the legacy Edge side by side with the new Stable Edge until all the features are implemented
