Dev channel update to 76.0.167.1 is live
Update: At 8:00 AM Redmond time on May 24 we released build 76.0.167.1 to the Dev channel. This build contains all of the fixes and improvements in 76.0.167.0, and a fix for the bug which caused it not to launch.
Hello insiders, today we released build 76.0.167.0 to the Dev channel. Some significant changes worth your attention include:
- The built-in translator has now rolled out to everyone. We’d appreciate it if you’d let us know how it works on your sites in your language. Just use the send feedback smiley button.
- Dark mode, which many of you have enabled manually via a configuration flag, is now on by default for everyone. To see Microsoft Edge in dark mode, you will need to change your Windows or macOS system settings.
- Keyword search for the address bar is now enabled. When you begin to type the “keyword” for a search engine into the address bar, you will be reminded that you can press tab to search using that engine. You can also type the entire keyword and press space to enter keyword search mode. If you continue typing and press enter, you will navigate directly to search results for that search engine. You may also see search suggestions from that engine as you type. Keyword search is available for all search engines you install or which are automatically detected for you as you browse. To manage search engines, open Settings, then Privacy and services, then Address bar, then Manage search engines. Here you can add or delete search engines AND customize the keyword used for them.
Some other improvements:
- Added a “Close Microsoft Edge” option in the “Settings and more” menu
- Improved dark theme support in Browser Task Manager
- You can now tab to address bar icons which indicate blocked site permissions
- Apps now appear in the same order on the apps menu and the apps page
- Updated the keyboard focus rectangle so that it’s more clearly visible
Some of the bug fixes in this release include:
- Fixed an issue that was causing high CPU usage while the browser was idle.
- Fixed an issue where extensions couldn’t alter video playback speed.
- On the download page, individual download cards no longer change height as you tab through them.
- Removed the “Unknown” option from the language dropdown menu in the translator
- Fixed an issue where encrypted video only appears as a black screen.
- Fixed an issue where clicking on menu items sometimes doesn’t do anything.
- Fixed a crash when enabling sync.
- Fixed a crash during the first run experience.
- Fixed an issue where the Settings page crashes due to a corrupted user profile.
- Fixed a crash when opening Settings while in a guest browsing session
As always, thanks for being an insider and keep that feedback coming.

- I recently got a new 32" UHD screen for myself. I never used dark mode in Windows anywhere. But with this new screen I started using it.
Therefore i especially love the dark mode in Edge. Especially the ability to use "prefers-color-scheme: dark", which Chrome for example does not use yet.
Too bad not many websites utilizing this feature yet. Translate isn't working at all here. I'm using 2 languages (since I also speak Spanish, it's my native language), but things written in French, for example, simply don't trigger the translate feature. Using the Dev channel.
- Nice to see all the improvements in this browser. I'm enjoying using it more and more.
Any chance of adding an option of "Open this page in Internet Explorer" like in the original Edge? David Rubino Hi, these comments need a date and time stamp. Some comments refer to 76.0.167.0 but do not say so. Can't tell which comments are old and which relate to the new 76.0.167.1.
Thanks for considering.

Hello.
my name is philumax and I am new here.
I am French and I learned English by doing computer science, which, you will agree, is far from enough, to speak on forums using a language other than French.
so, to answer, I use the Google translate application, for lack of a translator, on the EDGE beta!
I also installed, the extension google translate.
I read that there must be a translator, but I, who just turned on my computer, I did not see a translator on the beta.
I have this version (copy-paste): 76.0.167.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit).
I also give my opinion on this version of EDGE: it seems, you put a turbo in the engine ... it does not bother me at all and even it is very appreciable!
to be honest, it was missing. I met some incompatibilities, with EDGE non Chomium, then with EDGE dev, I returned: apparently, there is more incompatibility. however, having contacted the sites concerned, I am not sure that this better to go is due only to EDGE dev.
I use logitech hardware (keyboard mouse) and therefore their drivers.
today and exceptionally, I disabled hyperthreading, to do some tests.
if it helps ...
thank you.
see you.It seems like the settings menu now works for pen and touch. Thanks for fixing that!
Unfortunately, I still can't drag the window around with my stylus :(
David Rubino ahh so this is where Daniel Rubino from Windows Central gets all his leaks. Makes sense you guys are brothers!
David Rubino any word on password syncing release?
- Update received and applied. All OK so far. Hoping a dropdown menu sort by Name feature can be implemented as it was in the original Edge. Not having it is like sand in my shoes!
Is there a chance of the next update bringing epub support?
and update the profile image? I updated my photo on microsoft and windows 10, but did not update in the browser
