explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Edge is undergoing some changes to make it easier and faster to use. Think of it like renovating a house to make it more comfortable and efficient.

First, the settings page is moving to something called WebUI2. Imagine you have an old car that takes a while to start and doesn't run smoothly. Upgrading to WebUI2 is like getting a new engine that makes the car start instantly and run smoothly. This change will make the settings page load faster and respond more quickly when you click on things.

Additionally, there are some visual and content upgrades happening. This is similar to rearranging the furniture in your living room and giving the walls a fresh coat of paint. The settings will have clearer, more concise wording, making it easier to understand what each option does. The number of pages in the settings menu will be reduced, so you won't have to click through as many screens to find what you need. Everything will be organized in a more logical way, like putting all your kitchen utensils in one drawer instead of scattering them around the house.

Finally, the user interface will be more cohesive, meaning it will look and feel more consistent throughout. This is like making sure all the rooms in your house have a similar style and color scheme, creating a more pleasant and unified experience.

These changes are designed to make using Microsoft Edge more intuitive and efficient, helping you find and adjust settings with ease.
