Elliot Kirk Such early code but it is fricking stable. There are some bugs such as casting, spellchecking but one that i found myself is the sensor data permission page is blank but it is not displayed on the known issues. Overall it is faster than EdgeHTML especially on YouTube and other sites that didn't work well on EdgeHTML. There are some limitation such as theming from the Chrome Web store doesn't work yet. I'm really impressed and Insiders should see new bug fixes, functionallity and features in the incoming days and weeks!

    Slightly off topic, but what are the chances of having a summary of changes with each release? Or, is it there and I'm just not seeing it?

      Dan, instead of trying to direct you to it...  I have Copy/Pasted it here for the latest Dev Build.

      Cheers,
      Drew


      Hello insiders, today we released build 76.0.159.0 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. Some of the fixes and improvements in this build are in the change summary below

       

      New features and improvements:

       

      • Added a "Copy download link" option to the menu for a downloaded item
      • The context menu for a canceled download no longer shows a list of disabled items, and instead shows only "Copy download link"
      • Added a "Save as" option to the toolbar in the PDF viewer
      • The "Add to dictionary" context menu option for a misspelled word now has an icon
      • For quick links on the new tab page, if there is no site icon available we now show an icon created from the first letter of the site
      • Increased the size of some text on the user profile flyout for readability
      • When a tab is at minimum width and only shows the close button, that close button is now centered in the tab
      • In the Apps submenu, an option now reads "Install this site as an app" instead of showing a really long menu item name that contained the title of the current site
      • When using the keyboard to move through tabs, you can now press enter and not just space to switch tab

       

      Bug fixes:

       

      • The send feedback dialog no longer spellchecks URLs and email addresses
      • Fixed a bug where Microsoft Edge may crash after it was accessed through a remote desktop session
      • Fixed a crash when navigating back to history search results
      • Fixed a crash related to tooltips that would occur in a number of different scenarios
      • Fixed a visual formatting problem with the warning about a dangerous file download
      • Fixed a bug in the DevTools Performance tab where the checkboxes in the event log viewer overlapped with the content of the adjacent pane
      • New tab page settings no longer show up in settings search
      • Fixed a bug with tree views (such as the one seen when adding a new favorites folder) were showing black-on-dark-grey icons in dark theme
      • The icon for the new tab page is no longer black on dark grey in dark mode

        Thanks, Drew. I did see that in the Dev build, but I haven't found it in Canary.
