1. Microsoft Edge Work Tab and Workspaces
- Work Tab in Microsoft Edge : This is a feature on the Microsoft Edge browser home page designed for users with Microsoft 365 for business or school accounts.

- Microsoft Edge Workspaces : A productivity feature in Microsoft Edge that allows users to create separate spaces or groups of browser tabs for different projects or tasks.
