Do you need to improve the readability of your web pages? Any virtual document or site is more readable and gains more audience when it has a better color contrast. Microsoft Edge has come up with an innovative idea of manually fictionalizing the high contrast mode of your web page. This feature optimizes text legibility and improves readability. This article will illustrate, how to enable Enhanced text contrast in Microsoft Edge.
High contrast setting starts with selecting colors for the element and sets the scope. The prepared scheme can be added to other applications’ contents and interfaces. The “high contrast” does not mean that you cannot set up low contrast levels. The colors and level of contrast can be selected manually as per one’s choice and requirement.
This feature is currently available in Canary versions, but it will be rolled out to Edge Stable soon.
