MicrosoftDev channel build 77.0.218.4 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we released build 77.0.218.4 to the Microsoft Edge Developer channel. We’ve got some new features, many of which you’ve seen over the past week in Canary and have been eagerly waiting for in Dev. Additionally, we have now turned on several new languages on the insider website and added an Enterprise page with offline installer and policy samples. We’ve also fixed quite a few reliability and behavior issues, the most significant of which include:
New features and behavior:
- Added more strings to the translation work
- Prevent IE-Mode in Application Guard containers
- Ability to set text size and background theme in Reading View is now under flag.
- Ability to use dark mode on downlevel Windows versions 7, 8 & 8.1
- Search box now clears content with Esc or “x” button
Fixes for improved reliability:
- Fixed a crash on Extensions page.
- Fixed a crash in API keys
- Fixed a crash while opening PDFs
- Fix crash in Sync service
- Fix crash due to cached call in renderer
- Fix deadlock in Windows, where Microsoft Edge blocks shutdown.
- Fix crash in JSON parser
Fixes for improved behavior:
- Fix preventing URL redirection in Application Guard.
- Fix to prevent creation of database until needed (performance)
- Subpage headers display the number of search results.
- Fix to close Profile UI on sign-in
- Dev Tools support using OS theme color on Windows 10
- Fix color contrast for selected favorites
- Fixed Copy / Paste keyboard shortcuts on macOS
- Fix for z-order on history page
- Fixed transparency issue on First Run Experience
- Strengthened launching logic for PDF to specified file names and paths
- Fix to show FavIcons in Favorites management page.
- Fix for account removal in Identity
- Fix for sign-in where account pop-up was not topmost window.
- Fix for data imports from Chrome and Edge during First Run experience.
Please try to add the video pop-out feature like in Opera Browser, it is really a very convenient featureElliot Kirk
When will the browser launch fully and become the real EDGE or will it just stay in dev stage?
- Some of us reckon It may well be pushed out with 1909. Certainly, do not / would not expect it before that. But, it is replacing, current, Edge; will not be just betas forever.
Cheers,

I'll be more blunt. Whose silly idea are these ridiculous looking outlines?❗👎 Put back the proper looking, almost realistic looking approach that WAS there❗ Stop trying to improve what doesn't need mucking about with it. If it ain't broke don't fix it. There is heaps that does need to be done. Don't spend time or effort on things that are fine 'as is". These outlines look SO dumb, geeeesh 🙄
Cheers,
DrewLol 😆The Folder icon is an interesting thing… I mean, All of the other icons in newEdge are outline style - such as the feedback, all of the icons in the main menu area, and the “no icon” page icon. However, the folder icon is located among all of the icons for other websites, so it seems out of place - so here’s my problem. If it is a filled-in, yellow icon, then it doesn’t fit with the rest of the iconography of the browser, but if it is an outline, it doesn’t really fit in with the icons of all of the other webpages. So maybe there needs to be a different solution… However, the color of the icons right now probably doesn’t need to be crazy priority as the final UI does not seem to be a really big focus right now as the developers are still working on support for other features (such as sync). We’ll see what happens, but for now i’m just glad the favorites is not just a long list of text.
The visual corruption issues I kept having, especially when using video or browsing compositing heavy sites, disappeared with the last dev build (211) and are still gone with this one. Whatever happened, glad it did! Thanks.
- I quite liked the new checkbox, dropdown and button style that came with the previous dev build. It makes it stands out from Chromium.
Hi everyone is that only me here who has problem with LastPass extension? it works for a few days then it stops for some reasons and then again i reinstalling it and again and again since i have this browser. Any update for this in the future?

Elliot Kirk hey please add built-in vpn and data saver for people who have limited bandwith
Mr Authentic
I totally agree with you on the VPN aspect, as it is needed by all on the Internet, its always a very expensive commodity just for basic security protection, something that Microsoft could do well looking into, especially in today's climate of cyber crime.
