Now, I agree thatthe annotation tools are very limitedin the browser. As of now, you cannot change the colour of the pen. The only colour that is available for the pen is blue and that makes me quite blue! Also, you cannot change the size of the pen’s tip and that means you’re stuck with only one size for the pen.

However, this will soon change as Microsoft is preparing toimprove the annotation tools with an upcoming updatefor the browser. This update will change the pen tool by adding new colour support and the option to change the size of the tip. By the looks of it, it seems like Microsoft will be adding a new drop-down colour panel and below that will be the “Thickness” bar.

Now, this update is currently in the developer channel. Before coming to the stable version of the browser, this update will be rolled out to beta testers to test for any bugs and glitches. The build number for this update will be 82.0.439.1. Apart from improving the annotation features, Microsoft is also adding minor changes like added support for syncing Tracking Prevention exception settings and a button in the “Settings” menu to set Edge as the default browser.
