Chrome Cleanup has been replaced with Windows Defender SmartScreen filter.

AAD Sign-in (Sign in with your Microsoft ID (, Hotmail or even Work/school account).

Translation ( Microsoft replaced Google Translate with Bing Translate).

Grammar Tools (Microsoft replaced Google’s grammar tools with its own).

Accessibility improvements like support for Narrator, high contrast and caret browsing.
