Enhance your web experience with Page colors
Do you have trouble reading web pages due to their color schemes? Is the text too bright or too dark? Do links blend into the background? Or perhaps you want to change the way your browser looks. If so, try the new Page colors feature in Microsoft Edge. The Page colors feature is especially useful for users who have vision impairments, color blindness, or light sensitivity. However, it can also help reduce eye strain and fatigue when browsing for long periods of time.To enable Page colors:
- Go to Settings and more (...) > Settings >Accessibility.
- Under the Page colors section, select the color scheme you want to apply. You can choose between the Dusk, Desert, Black, and White theme color values.
Control custom scrollbars
We're also releasing another new setting aimed at improving your scrolling experience on the web: Turn off custom scrollbars. This setting allows you to disable the customizations that web developers might have added to their sites in Microsoft Edge. While many website authors customize scrollbars to achieve a unique style, we heard from users that not everybody likes using them. Certain users always prefer to see the default browser scrollbars as this improves consistency and accessibility for them. By making it possible for you to disable custom scrollbars, we aim to accommodate these preferences and enhance usability and accessibility.To turn off custom scrollbars:
- Go to Settings and more (...) > Settings >Accessibility.
- Toggle the Turn off custom scrollbars setting.

We look forward to hearing your feedback about these new settings and about other ways that we can continue enhancing the time you spend online with Microsoft Edge.
