The AchieVer Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Microsoft Edge Dev 76.0.172.0 for Windows 10 Released Microsoft has released the weekly update for the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Dev channel, bringing the browser to version 76.0.172.0. This new update introduces a series of important fixes, including for a bug that caused Microsoft Edge to crash on launch. In fact, this particular issue blocked the previous release for the Dev channel, as Microsoft discovered that the browser might no longer be able to start on a series of devices after installing the update. Today’s update comes to resolve this problem, so everything is back to normal. Additionally, update 76.0.172.0 also targets a second crash experienced when viewing settings in the InPrivate mode, as well as a glitch blocking the first launch experience if the user isn’t connected to the Internet. In terms of new features, there are only subtle changes here, but they come in very handy to Edge users.New featuresFirst and foremost, Microsoft has changed the behavior of pinned websites when these pages are already loaded in the browser. “Clicking the shortcut for a pinned website will now select a tab that contains the shortcut’s website if one is already open instead of opening a new tab every time,” Microsoft says. In other words, if a website is already loaded in Edge and you click the pinned icon pointing to the same page, Edge now focuses on its tab rather than opening a new tab. And then, the history menu now displays the full URL of a website when hovering the mouse over its link. You can read the full changelog in the box after the jump for more information on the rest of the fixes. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the full release notes: Fixed an issue where Edge sometimes crashes on launch. Fixed a crash when viewing settings in InPrivate. Clicking the shortcut for a pinned website will now select a tab that contains the shortcut’s website if one is already open instead of opening a new tab every time. Hovering over a website’s address on the history page now shows the full URL. Fixed an issue where the first launch experience doesn’t happen if the user isn’t connected to the internet. Fixed an issue where certain dialogs are cut off on small screens. Fixed an issue where the side panels on certain edge:// pages aren’t visible when the window is at a narrow height. Fixed an issue where the horizontal scrollbar did not appear on certain pages. Microsoft is currently developing an entirely new version of their Edge web browser. Edge Insiders are essentially volunteers who opt-into testing early builds of the browser and provide feedback and suggestions throughout the development process. The Dev Channel receives a build update weekly while the Canary Channel receives daily updates. The Beta Channel gets updates every six weeks or so and is generally considered to be the most-stable version. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
