Dev channel update to 77.0.189.3 is live
Hello insiders! Today we released build 77.0.189.3 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. As you can see, we’ve moved on to version 77, and as such, there are some fun new things to try out. Those new things, as well as the fixes we believe are significant enough to mention this week, include:
New features and behavior:
- Added a page in Settings to choose your desired New Tab Page layout.
- Added an option in the Help and Feedback menu to report an unsafe website.
- Multiple tabs can now be selected using the keyboard’s ctrl and space keys.
- Added dark theme to the Send Feedback dialog.
- Added a separator between the active tab and the rest of the tabs when the color of the tab band makes it difficult to tell the difference between the active tab and the rest of the tabs.
- Updated the color of windows when they’re inactive.
Fixes for improved reliability:
- Fixed an issue where opening Settings as a guest crashes the browser.
- Fixed an issue where opening DevTools in InPrivate sometimes crashes the browser.
- Fixed an issue where the loading spinner and the tab icon existed at the same time.
- Fixed a crash when using Read Aloud.
- Fixed an issue where certain webpages with videos would crash.
- Fixed an issue where favorites sometimes get deleted if the first run experience is interrupted.
- Fixed some strings that weren’t translated.
- Fixed an issue where installed websites can’t be uninstalled from Windows Settings.
- Fixed an issue where DevTools extensions weren’t appearing in the list of DevTools extensions.
- Fixed an issue where sync sometimes wouldn’t work when using a VPN.
- Fixed an issue where files shown on the downloads page used a generic icon instead of the file’s own icon.
Mac-only changes:
- Fixed an issue where clicking the Restart App button when installing an update doesn’t open the browser again.
- Fixed an issue where context menus sometimes aren’t shown.
- Fixed an issue where the text for the keyboard shortcut to open Downloads is different depending on where it is seen.
- Fixed an issue where the prompt to enter keychain credentials is unexpectedly seen after installing a new build.
As always, thanks for being an insider, and keep sending us all of your valuable feedback and suggestions!

Just wanted to point out some issues I've been experiencing. I've been having recurring issues on video playing sites mainly Netflix. Generally, it would run and load significantly slower than usual comparing to old Edge.
Issues:
Video playback would freeze after pause/play. (doesn't feel as snappy as old edge)The page would crash when loading video.
Thanks for the update! Are there any plans to implement the Books feature? josh_bodner
Oh, something new this morning, that was "not" there yesterday....
josh_bodnerAlso, Edge CAN now has all of them that were available once again...
Dennis5milejosh_bodner Seems as though the LastPass plugn in still is not working. As it has in the past, authentication fails on a Windows 10 1809 machine whereas on a Mac, it works fine.
- Just as an aside, would suggest updating the 1809 to 1903.
Cheers,
Drew
josh_bodner Hi
Do anyone have any estimate on when AAD signin and the full sync experience will come?
Nice work, this is already the best browser on the marked!

Hi
This is about problem I had with either one version of edge dev before this one (xx.2) or ahci intel driver.
I don't know is it edge dev problem but maybe it is (I don't even know if edge can do that, what was the problem)
My computer would start blu ray (seek noise, led on) while there is no disk present.
This behaviour happened few times a day.
After I unintalled edge dev and switched intel ahci for ms ahci it stopped.
Its hard to say that it is either edge dev or intel ahci related but it is possible.
I now reinstalled edge dev but left ms ahci.
So far so good.
Best regards.
josh_bodner Can you please include font smoothing/anti-aliasing the way non-chromium Edge has it now?
I know that maybe it's a bit to much to ask custom search engine on the new tab.
So, could we, at least, remove the search field?
orlando2bjr the "new tab URL" chrome extension works in Edge also. It will let you set the new tab page to whatever URL you want.
It would be nice if they added "blank page" and a custom URL to the new tab page.
Thanks, null_character , but I want to keep the daily image from Bing.
I've tested the extension but if I set it to bing.com it also has no way of hiding the search bar. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
