Recently, Microsoft updated its public roadmap for its still-new Edge browser, which is based on Chromium. There's quite a bit on there, from minor fixes to major things like support for Linux.

Two specific things are new. The ability to navigate a PDF via a table of contents is now under review, and the tab preview feature from Edge Legacy is now in discussion. As 'in review' and 'in discussion' suggest, neither is a commitment to actually building out the features.

But there's a whole bunch of stuff on the list that Microsoft is committing to. There are four features listed as coming in February:

Favorites sync issues, including sync not working, deleted favorites reappearing, and favorites being duplicated

Enable sync of installed browser extensions between devices

Option to set a custom photo as the New Tab Page background photo

Need for better handling of links when there is more than one profile

There's one feature planned for the summer:

Enable sync of browsing history between devices

It's no surprise that extension syncing is coming this month, since it's already in testing in the Canary channel. It's a bit disappointing, however, that we'll have to wait until the summer for history syncing.

There are also a bunch of features that are listed as planned, but without a timeline:

Edge cannot find devices to cast media

Make Edge available on Linux

Support read aloud of PDF files

Provide option to keep specific cookies when choosing to clear browsing data on close

Provide an option to add a share button to the tool bar

Add the ability to ink on web pages

Touchpad two-finger scrolling is sometimes triggering a right click instead

Provide different options for sorting favorites

Support themes from the Chrome Web Store

Provide an option to prevent auto-play of video and audio when you open a website

This is actually the only place where you'll find mention of Linux support for Edge. This is something that was teased at Build in May, and confirmed at Ignite in November, but people on the Edge team have always been a bit cagey on the subject.

Finally, there are a whole bunch of features that are in discussion and in review, and you can check out the full list here.
