Microsoft Edge Update Accidentally Activates Touch-Friendly Mode on Non-Touchscreen PCs

For users unfamiliar with touch mode or unaware of its existence, the updated Edge’s unexpected behavior could be perplexing. Some might assume that Microsoft has introduced a new browser design, leading to confusion regarding the rationale behind this change.

While touch mode is a valuable feature when used appropriately on touchscreen devices, its erroneous activation on non-touchscreen PCs represents a significant oversight by Microsoft. Such incidents do not contribute positively to Edge’s reputation as a top web browser.
