We are used to all the buttons and bars taking up the space around our screen when browsing the Internet. While it may not seem like a big deal, sometimes it is better not to have them around.
Microsoft Edge offers a feature that will give you a clean and clutter-free browsing experience. Now, you can auto-hide the address bar in Microsoft Edge when you are in fullscreen mode to maximize your screen real estate. The main advantage of enabling this feature is to allow you to browse the Internet devoid of any distraction.
The auto-hide feature is available in all Microsoft Edge version including Stable, Beta, and Canary.
