Microsoft Edge in Canary channel latest version 89.0.744.0 gets another useful feature called “Line Wrapping” for Page source view.
Page source view is a great tool for developers and they use source code for troubleshooting most problems with a website. It’s very easy to access the source code of any website. You need to right-click on the webpage and select View page source from the context menu.
Doing this open-source code for a particular web page on a different tab. Depending on your requirement, you can take a look at it. Sometimes users find themselves in a situation where the code line in a source code page does not fit inside the file view and they have to use a slider available on the bottom or right side of the screen to check the whole line.
To overcome this, Edge developers added Line Wrapping in Page source view. The options when checked automatically wraps the line of text to the next line when it gets to the end of a page.
