One of the most outstanding features of the Android operating system is the widgets. You can easily add widgets on your Android’s home screen to stay updated with useful information such as weather, news, time & date, etc.
The Widget feature is missing on Windows operating system. Although in a recent Windows Insider Build, Microsoft added a new weather and news widget to Windows 10’s taskbar. But, you have to wait for a few more months to get the Widget feature on your PC.

As of now, the widget is limited to Edge’s Canary build. If you want to enjoy the Widget’s, you need to use the Edge Canary web browser.
