Dev channel update to 79.0.287.2 is live

Next, you can scroll through previous Bing images of the day using the arrows at the bottom left of the page.
And finally, if you don’t want to see the news feed at all, now you don’t have to, because we added the option to turn it completely off!
Josh, I don't seem to have either of these ⬆ My NTP does not seem any different than ever including controls. Is it another Controlled Feature Roll-out?
Cheers,
Drew
I'm not seeing any option for dark theme
There are no arrow buttons for changing the pic of the day
'Show Feeds' setting has On Scroll and Always as the only two options
I can't speak the 'More Personalized Options', as I've never really paid attention to them
Both my PC's with Edge Dev are the same this way. If this is a controlled roll-out, is the control user or machine based?
(The other features like media-autoplay settings came through)

Moseph,
Those of us, currently, without the aforementioned NTP stuff will have it by the end of this week or early next.

In regard to the 'new' NTP. everyone did not receive this in Canary simultaneously. However, at this point it is supposed to be in Dev, now, for all... but, (again) not, everyone has it in Dev, yet. Josh is looking into reasons for this with the Edge Team; stay tuned for updated info...
Cheers,

Hi,
That's right it's still a controlled feature roll out.
the autoplay blocking, tracking prevention and redesigned settings page are all part of one package and new tab customization options are in a different package.
the first one is finalized and generally available for both Dev and Canary but the other one is still in A/B testing for both Canary and Dev.
I'm sure it's not controlled by user account cause it happens to people who haven't signed in the browser with their Microsoft account.
Microsoft also categorizes people for A/B testing based on their geographical location (IP location)
