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!

in the inprivate windows, it is still very difficult to distinguish the active tab, it does not differ from the rest
Using the dark theme, the active tab is nearly impossible to guess. Here it is slightly lighter due to the clipping tool, but not when viewed on the monitor:

The solution is to use an OS Accent colour that affords a certain amount of contrast. And have checked ✔ Show accent colour on Title bars & window borders.
I run Dark & have no trouble seeing the tabs. I found out it depends on the OS Accent colour used how easy or hard it is to see the tabs.

Added a page in Settings to choose your desired New Tab Page layout.
I believe this setting is NOT needed, as its available on the New Tab page. I suggest to combine On Startup and New Tab Page pages in Settings into one with 2 above subsections. In New Tab Page subsection, offer choice:
- User Set Layout
- Empty Tab
- Open a Web Page
Generally, try cutting the list of Settings pages to bare minimum, and make each such page contain many relevant settings, not just left almost empty.
- Oh, I didn't even know it *was* available from the new tab page - thanks for poiting that out (indirectly) ^^
- awe man, I was hoping you would have included the "show ions only" for the favorites bar with this update.. Ah well, maybe next update.... lol
"Added a page in Settings to choose your desired New Tab Page layout."
Still no option to NOT show news at all.... I think this does need adding....
Other wise I like the updates....
Dennis5mile- I agree - I'm not sure if it preloads this information, but I rarely ever look at it anymore and just use the "Inspirational" setting. Only when I accidentally scroll do I even occasionally take a peek at what's in there.
