Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14291

There’s another preview build for Windows 10. According to the accompanying announcement, build 14291 includes improvements to Edge and the Feedback Hub, Microsoft’s mechanism for reporting Windows 10 issues.

The changes to Edge show that Microsoft is still playing catchup, adding features that have existed in the other major browsers for a while. So there’s nothing particularly revolutionary, but if you’re forcing yourself to use Edge, being able to use extensions and pin tabs will be helpful.

Several of the Windows 10 apps have also been improved, including Maps, and Alarms & Clock.
