Microsoft Edge adds zooming capabilities to one of its most exciting features

Microsoft released the 123.0.2400.1 build to the Edge Dev channel, and it comes with a variety of updates, including a new feature: the ability to zoom in/zoom out and reset the image position when using the Magnify image capability.

Added buttons to zoom in/out and reset the image position within the Magnify image dialog.

The exciting feature that lets users magnify images directly in the Edge browser without opening them in a new tab was added to the browser back in November, with the release of Edge Canary 120. Since then, the feature has gone through some changes and adjustments, including the ability to quickly access it using a single command.

Now, with the release of the new build, Edge Dev users will be able to zoom in and zoom out of it, and even reset the image position all in the Magnify image dialog. This new capability will greatly improve its versatility, allowing users to quickly access information on a web page.
