There is a translation problem in French on the homepage.
And I would like to know if it is possible to change the search engine of the search bar
HarHam You should report the problem from Edge itself with the « Envoyer votre avis » icon (the smiley). I hadn't noticed by myself, I see it now.
As for the search engine, for now we can change the one that is used in the address bar, but not the search engine for the new tab page. Bing remains.

thanks for the update.So you call this mess as a fixed new tab page? No! Please select all languages and all window size avalible before when you say "you fixed something"! Chinese (no matter Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese) users all have to see this mess every day!
Like the Alphabetical listing for Edge Favorite Tabs but would much like to be able to enter first letter to automatically scroll immediately to those tabs starting with that letter.
It would make getting to any tab so much quicker and easier than having to use scroll wheel to run down the list. I have rather a large number of favorite tabs and manually scrolling through them is time consuming and sometimes difficult to stop at desired item.
Maybe not possible but would sure be appreciated by me, anyway.
Think the new Edge is terrific!
VerdiFjosh_bodner thanks for the update!

Curious to know how to get this to work? Is there any other details available?
Cheers.
josh_bodner How do we stop videos from auto playing on sites. On the usual Edge we could go to settings .. advanced and there was setting to stop them playing, can't find that in this version of edge.
How can we prevent videoes on sites from automatically playing. in the regular edge you could go to advanced etc. in settings and stop them, but can't find anywhere in current settings on this Edge version to do that? josh_bodner
- Netflix still crashes the browser when trying to play any video (regardless of 4k)
hi s_lewis, no crash on netflix here, but using only regular resolution (not 4k).
EDIT: josh_bodner I'm now having an error in netflix website every time I try to Start ANY series
Error Code: D7111-1331
Another nice minor change with version 77.0.203.2 is that opening "managing printers" now defaults to the modern Windows 10 Printer and Scanners instead of the classic printers section from Control Panel.
The latest update has fixed the problem with the Lastpass extension becoming corrupt when updating Edge Dev.
The newest update also has a nice minor change to the InPrivate icon that makes it easier to see.
jeffbrown66 for me, as of this build, Lastpass now is 'borked' in that when I click on the browser button for it and try to fill, copy, or edit, the buttons on the pulldown 'move' up and become largely unclickable. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, but no difference in action. Don't know if that's why you guys have been seeing? But this is the first time for me seeing it.
No issues in Classic Edge with the plugin. I'm using the Chrome plugin in Dev Edge.
- The one difference between your situation and mine is that I am using the Lastpass extension from the Microsoft Store instead of the Chrome extension. The Microsoft Store version of Lastpass and Edge Dev version 77.0.230.2 work without any problems. My assumption had been that the Chrome version and Microsoft Store version were the same, but perhaps they are not quite the same.
- jeffbrown66 For me, LastPass and Norton Safe Web have been fixed for the last couple of updates or so...
Dennis5mileWell, then I am not sure what happened. The two prior Edge Dev updates before 77.0.203.2 corrupted Lastpass and required a repair to work properly.
