Microsoft Edge DevTools has a brand-new look! Let’s go over what it is, why we made it, and the main improvements that the redesigned UI brings. We first started working on a redesign of DevTools almost two years ago. At the time, our starting point was the realization that, over the years, DevTools had started to become visually and conceptually overwhelming. We wanted to reduce the learning curve and complexity of the tools. So, we set out to address our users’ diverse needs by:
- Creating a redesigned Welcome tool that would be more helpful to those who want to learn or stay up to date.
- Adding ways to customize the UI and more easily make it your own.
- Introducing a new Activity Bar that would make it easier to recognize and discover the available tools.
- The new Welcome tool.
- The ability to more easily open tools with the More tools button.
- The ability to move tools around between the top and bottom toolbars.
