Dev channel update to 75.0.139.1 is live
Today we released build 75.0.139.1 to the Dev channel. Updates will happen automatically, but if you want to update immediately just go to the Settings and more menu, and choose Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge. This will start an update check automatically.
This build contains a number of improvements which have appeared in Canary throughout the week. Here is the first of what will be weekly change summaries that we will release when the Dev channel updates:
New features and functionality
- Microsoft Edge Insider Channels will now install to Windows 10 32-bit devices. Just visit www.microsoftedgeinsider.com from your device and follow the usual installation steps.
- More natural sounding voices are now available for the Read Aloud feature, and exposed via the JavaScript Speech Synthesis API
Bug fixes and improvements
- The animated spinner that displays on the About page when checking for updates is no longer scaled improperly
- After importing favorites from Internet Explorer, the favorites bar folder will be properly named “Favorites bar” instead of “Links”
- A confirmation prompt will now appear when deleting multiple history items
- The “Show in folder” option will now work when a download is in the middle of virus scanning
- Fixed a crash on pressing CTRL+SHIFT+M in inPrivate mode
- Fixed a poorly rendered animation when viewing “See all cookies and site data” under site permissions
- Fixed a bug where Microsoft Account credentials were not inherited from Windows 10 until after the first launch
This list is just a first step toward improving our communication about what is changing in the Insider channels. Since our initial release, one message we’ve heard clearly is that you want better communication about these changes. Your feedback has prompted us to investigate the best way to get that information to you on a regular basis. For now you will continue to see this short change summary. You will also see content on the “welcome” page that appears when the Dev channel is updated that highlights new functionality, Microsoft Edge news, and other topics of interest to the community. Meanwhile, we are working toward giving you a more detailed view into what’s happening. If you have thoughts about what you’d like to see, please discuss in this thread. We want to make sure what we deliver will meet your expectations.
Thanks for being a Microsoft Edge Insider, and see you next week.

David Rubino -- Great move! Please do the same for Canary.
- Thank you very much for the fast paced development of this browser. It's almost become my go to browser on my SB and SGo. What's got me tied to the original Edge browser is the reading list feature and the ink annotation. Just wondering if you plan on bringing those in the near future. Kudos!
I get rendering problems in some pages if the screen scale is set above 100%.
For instance this is a page that renders correctly in the old Edge:
And this is how it renders in the new Chromium-based Edge:
David Rubino Thanks for the summary, much appreciated. Look forward to changelogs in the future and in the mean time I will continue providing feedback.
Enjoying the dev channel so far, thanks for the communication on the updates. As an existing (non-Chromium) edge fan, the things I value in it are the efficient battery use, the speed of launching, and the oh-so-sweet and buttery smooth scrolling. The reading view is also something I enjoy. I know there are extension for smooth scrolling and they seem to work ok so if that's the solution, it's better than none.
Keep it up, I like what I've been using.
Sadly, it seems like the syncing issues I started experiencing with 75.0.137 in the Canary ring have made it to the Dev channel now. Both versions are failing to sync at this moment.
akhator I have submitted feedback as you requested. But you can also read a little more about what other users are saying here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Build-75-0-137-0-says-it-can-t-sync/m-p/481482
David Rubino Thanks for the summary. A high-level summary like this is exactly what we need.
Hello David Rubino,
Thank you for the summary on this version dev : 75.0.139.1
