    Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of
    feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture
    and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it too! But
    first, we wanted to make it better. While web notes was a great
    feature, there was also room for improvement. Many of you reported
    using it for capturing quick screenshots to copy or share, while
    others loved the ability to to mark-up full webpages with scrolling.
    So, we designed the new screenshot feature, web capture, with this in
    mind and are excited to introduce the basic screen capture
    functionality to our Dev and Canary builds. In the near future, you
    can expect to see more functionalities added to web capture, like
    adding ink or highlights to your captures, capturing full webpages,
    and scrolling while marking them.

    Is this the same thing as Ctrl S in FF and a few dozen other browsers?
    The curious want to know.

    A Microsoft utility is probably less than the same thing.

    What's this 'Canary' build stuff? What's the version number they're
    talking about?

    To keep canarys, you'll need a bird cage and a bag of seed.
    Scroll down.

    There could be some relationship, between the
    Chromium (source) build number and the ChromEdge (derived)
    build number. They do that with the Thunderbird build
    number and the Firefox ESR it's derived from. Since I
    don't use ChromEdge, I hardly notice build numbers.

    'Canary' is a gay way of saying 'beta'. The people who try it are like
    the canaries that used to be sent down into mines to test the quality of
    the air.

    No.

    It's more like an alpha or pre-alpha.

    Only a gay wouldn't know that.
