A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's only in the Canary version for now.

Although the feature sounds exciting, recent Microsoft Edge Canary updates have provided more information on how image enhancement works.

IDK about that, there are many claims from users of it being available on stable. I believe it's another one of those A-B test things so it's only available for a subset of stable users.

I've only seen it on some "insider" builds for Windows 11, so unless it was pushed publicly in the past few days you shouldn't see it.

This post's title is misleading anyway. It's not enabled by default, and only sends URLs of "large images" that don't require any form of authentication. Considering where I work, I can't say much more than that. If you knew where I work, you'd trust my word over some other random people on the internet.
