The new Microsoft shines through in this blog post - instead of strictly sticking to its own standards and ideas about the way the Web should be rendered, the company is finally willing to compromise and accept the reality of developing for the Web.Īs a Web developer myself, the changes in Edge are exciting. Microsoft says that the new browser is more permissive of such differences between the standard and code, particularly as many of these differences are widespread practices.Īnother change adopts the Webkit practice of ignoring cross-site headers in order to allow custom fonts to load from content distribution networks, despite what the standard actually defines. Instead of simply ignoring such malformed tags, like Internet Explorer would have in the past, Edge handles the code the correct way. One example Microsoft provides is the prevalent use of malformed “meta refresh” tags that allow a page to redirect the user to another page. In the Tabs section, check the box next to “Use ⌘-1 to ⌘-9 to switch tabs.The company goes as far as saying that “any Edge-WebKit differences are bugs that we’re interested in fixing,” further cementing the angle that developers shouldn’t be writing Edge-specific code or workarounds.Įdge will also allow for certain cases where what Web developers do in practice doesn’t actually match the standard. Open Safari, click the Apple logo on the menu bar and select Preferences. If these shortcuts are opening your bookmarks instead, head to Safari’s preferences menu and activate the tab switch option. You can do this up to Command + 9, which opens the last or rightmost tab. Say you have 12 open tabs on Safari, pressing Command + 1 will switch to the 1st tab (from the right), Command + 7 will open the 7th tab, while Command + 3 opens the 3rd. Safari also lets you jump directly to the first 8 tabs and the last tab using dedicated shortcuts. These key combinations will take you one step backward and open the tab on the left: Command + Shift + Tab or Shift + Command + Left Squared bracket ( [ ). Shift + Command + Right Squared bracket ( ] ) is an alternate shortcut that’ll yield a similar result.

Press Control + Tab to jump to the next open tab on the right.
