MicrosoftDev channel update to 84.0.522.5 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 84.0.522.5 to the Dev channel. We expect this to be the final build for major version 84, give or take a few small patches past .5. In community news, we’re excited to share an overview of our surf game to celebrate its arrival in Stable after Stable’s recent update to major version 83: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/05/26/surf-game-edge-stable/. The surf game was originally the final part of the hidden journey to unveil our new logo last November, and now is a fun game you can play if you ever find yourself offline (or anytime!) We also posted about the improvements we’ve been making to spellcheck: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/05/28/improved-spellcheck-microsoft-edge-83/.
In product news, we’re excited to announce that Read Aloud is now available in PDFs! We put together an overview of it here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/microsoft-edge-read-aloud-now-with-pdf-support/m-p/1418076. We also have a small preview of what to expect from Sidebar Search here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-sidebar-search-in-microsoft-edge/m-p/1406242. In other news:
Added features:
- Added support for Read Aloud in PDFs.
- Added support for full page translation in Immersive Reader.
- Added the ability for text saved to a Collection to take you back to the location on the webpage it came from.
- Added back support for the Chromium “Force Dark Mode for Web Contents” flag.
- Enabled Shy UI on Mac.
- Added support for the F6 key to change focus on Mac.
Improved reliability:
- Fixed an issue where certain types of videos like HEVC don’t play properly.
- Fixed an issue where webpages with videos sometimes hang.
Changed behavior:
- Fixed an issue where attempting to save an edited PDF brings up the “Save As” dialog every time it’s saved instead of silently saving.
- Fixed an issue where the Find on Page popup sometimes gets stuck and can’t be interacted with.
- Fixed an issue where history entries in the Jumplist sometimes aren’t cleared after closing the browser when history is set to be cleared on close.
- Fixed an issue where favorites on the Favorites Bar sometimes forget that they’re supposed to be icon only.
- Fixed an issue where extensions that allow keyboard shortcuts to be set aren’t able to have those shortcuts be changed on edge://extensions/shortcuts.
- Fixed an issue where autofill popups sometimes appear when they shouldn’t with incorrect suggestions.
- Fixed an issue where browser profiles associated with a work or school account are sometimes unintentionally signed out or removed.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where languages on the Language Settings page sometimes can’t be selected to “Offer to translate pages in this language”.
- Fixed an issue where starting Read Aloud on certain pages leaves Edge in a state where Read Aloud can’t be stopped even though there’s nothing to read.
Known issues:
- Tabs sometimes appear squished or too small, even when there are only a few of them. This is most often caused by clicking a link in a different program that opens a new tab in Edge, and can usually be fixed by changing the size of the tab band, for example by resizing the window.
- Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load. This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.
- Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated after we made some previous fixes in that area. The most common way this is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it with an account that has already signed into Edge before. Fixing this should be easier now that the deduplicator tool is available. However, we’ve also seen duplication happen when running the deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for some of the fixes we’ve made to come to Stable, make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator. We hope that this will be improved now that version 81 is released to Stable.
- After an initial fix for it recently, some users are still experiencing Edge windows becoming all black. Opening the Browser Task Manager (keyboard shortcut is shift + esc) and killing the GPU process usually fixes it. Note that this only appears to affect users with certain hardware and is most easily triggered by resizing an Edge window.
- Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag.
- There are some issues where users with multiple audio output devices sometimes don’t get any sound from Edge. In one case, Edge becomes muted in the Windows Volume Mixer and unmuting it fixes it. In another, restarting the browser fixes it.
Thanks to you, look for this build to be heading to Beta soon!
josh_bodner The highlight just get darker every time you click on it, before it disappeared the second time you click on the highlighted text.
josh_bodner All this is useless, unless MS decide to bring back a vital feature that ALL MS browsers currently have (except EDGE Chromium)
I'm sorry to say that this version has brought back the problem of not clearing caches/cookies and not logging out of sites that surfaced in the

RPSBerlin we've had a hard time reproducing the behavior on our end every time this comes up, so it would help us a lot if you could give us any more information you can (as well as file feedback so we have an accurate count in our feedback database of how many people are experiencing this issue):
- Are you running any extensions? If so, does turning them off make any difference?
- Are you manually clearing your browsing data or using the setting to clear it automatically when you close the browser?
- If it's the first one, which categories are you clearing and for what time period?
- If it's the second one, are you sure you're closing all browser windows, including those for other profiles, InPrivate windows, installed apps/websites, etc.?
- If you have passwords saved, are you sure you're not just being logged back in with them, or with single sign-on if you're seeing this on a Microsoft website?
- For that matter, how are you determining that data isn't getting cleared?
- If you create a new profile in Edge, can you reproduce the same behavior there? Or, if you have another device, can you reproduce the behavior in the same version of Edge on it?
- Since we think this contributed last time, do you see any entries on edge://crashes, like maybe the browser is crashing on close, which is cutting the delete short?
- Most importantly, are there any specific sites (that you care to share) that you can reproduce this on, especially if it's consistent?
Hi Josh,
I'll answer these in order but I will say after two days of not working that miraculously today it was working again on 84.0.516.1 (it's asking me to update but I'm loathe to update in case it stops working again...)
- Are you running any extensions? If so, does turning them off make any difference?
I run LastPass and it wasn't causing any problems on two previous builds of both 83 and 84 and then not working on the two following builds. I did try uninstalling it on 83 but that didn't make any difference so haven't bothered trying it with 84.
- Are you manually clearing your browsing data or using the setting to clear it automatically when you close the browser?
- If it's the second one, are you sure you're closing all browser windows, including those for other profiles, InPrivate windows, installed apps/websites, etc.?
I have it set to clear absolutely everything every time I close the browser. No other profiles. I generally shut my whole computer down. In fact that's how I noticed it wasn't logging me out as I'd still be logged into all my sites once I started computer back up.
- If you have passwords saved, are you sure you're not just being logged back in with them, or with single sign-on if you're seeing this on a Microsoft website?
No passwords saved in Edge.
- For that matter, how are you determining that data isn't getting cleared?
Because when I open the program I'm still logged into every site I need to sign in to access.
- If you create a new profile in Edge, can you reproduce the same behavior there? Or, if you have another device, can you reproduce the behavior in the same version of Edge on it?
- Since we think this contributed last time, do you see any entries on edge://crashes, like maybe the browser is crashing on close, which is cutting the delete short?
No crashes. Closes as expected.
- Most importantly, are there any specific sites (that you care to share) that you can reproduce this on, especially if it's consistent?
As I said every site I log into but just off the top of my head: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, my websites webmail server etc etc.
Take care!

josh_bodner, profile switching is now back to working as it should. Thanks Edge team for the quick fix. 👍
Since this update Edge crashes completely whenever I try to make a web app full screen on macOS
I can make the main browser window full screen, but not apps ☹️error18:22:01.575187+0100Microsoft Edge DevAn uncaught exception was raised error18:22:01.576147+0100Microsoft Edge DevtitlebarViewController not supported for this window style error18:22:01.576998+0100Microsoft Edge Dev( 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff37768be7 __exceptionPreprocess + 250 1 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x00000001119aa84c ChromeMain + 58228700 2 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff705405bf objc_exception_throw + 48 3 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff37791d98 +[NSException raise:format:arguments:] + 88 4 Foundation 0x00007fff39e80e9d -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 191 5 AppKit 0x00007fff349dde08 -[NSWindow titlebarViewController] + 195 6 AppKit 0x00007fff349ddd2f -[NSWindow addTitlebarAccessoryViewController:] + 27 7 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000114ec0702 ChromeMain + 113893010 8 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000114ec163e ChromeMain + 113896910 9 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000114f5e61b ChromeMain + 114539947 10 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000114f5eb80 ChromeMain + 114541328 11 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000010eaf132d ChromeMain + 9235133 12 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000112078388 ChromeMain + 65362712 13 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000011207f7f2 ChromeMain + 65392514 14 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000011207e2cc ChromeMain + 65387100 15 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000112080350 ChromeMain + 65395424 16 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x00000001139fc544 ChromeMain + 92118228 17 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111e9bb74 ChromeMain + 63410948 18 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111eaf56e ChromeMain + 63491326 19 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111eaf321 ChromeMain + 63490737 20 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f15371 ChromeMain + 63908609 21 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f0e9da ChromeMain + 63881578 22 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f14b41 ChromeMain + 63906513 23 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff376ecde2 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ + 17 24 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff376ecd81 __CFRunLoopDoSource0 + 103 25 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff376ecb9b __CFRunLoopDoSources0 + 209 26 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff376eb8ca __CFRunLoopRun + 927 27 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff376eaece CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 462 28 HIToolbox 0x00007fff36319abd RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 292 29 HIToolbox 0x00007fff363197d5 ReceiveNextEventCommon + 584 30 HIToolbox 0x00007fff36319579 _BlockUntilNextEventMatchingListInModeWithFilter + 64 31 AppKit 0x00007fff34961829 _DPSNextEvent + 883 32 AppKit 0x00007fff34960070 -[NSApplication(NSEvent) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] + 1352 33 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111913f0f ChromeMain + 57611935 34 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f0e9da ChromeMain + 63881578 35 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111913e51 ChromeMain + 57611745 36 AppKit 0x00007fff34951d7e -[NSApplication run] + 658 37 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f15d5b ChromeMain + 63911147 38 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111f1454c ChromeMain + 63904988 39 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111eafab2 ChromeMain + 63492674 40 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111e7e8fe ChromeMain + 63291534 41 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111922237 ChromeMain + 57670087 42 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000010f5e76ee ChromeMain + 20729470 43 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000010f5e9d22 ChromeMain + 20739250 44 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000010f5e516b ChromeMain + 20719867 45 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111715677 ChromeMain + 55520775 46 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x00000001117163cf ChromeMain + 55524191 47 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000011171613f ChromeMain + 55523535 48 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x00000001144fd395 ChromeMain + 103656229 49 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x0000000111715605 ChromeMain + 55520661 50 Microsoft Edge Framework 0x000000010e22291d ChromeMain + 173 51 Microsoft Edge Dev 0x000000010b1eb0dd main + 285 52 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff716e7cc9 start + 1 53 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1 ) default18:22:01.600290+0100msedge_crashpad_handler[0529/182201.600163:WARNING:process_memory_mac.cc(93)] mach_vm_read(0x7ffee4a15000, 0x2000): (os/kern) invalid address (1) default 18:22:01.848367+0100 msedge_crashpad_handler [0529/182201.848303:WARNING:crash_report_exception_handler.cc(258)] UniversalExceptionRaise: (os/kern) failure (5)- josh_bodner
KibosJ Thanks for finding this, I'll make sure our web apps team knows about it!
josh_bodner I can confirm HEVC is now playing as expected, compared to the last dev build. Thanks for looking in to it!
- edge://surf still consumes a lot of GPU and CPU resources
- Black windows issue is with AMD drivers.
Sent feedback already several times, but I will try again here.
The following behavior still not changed: I have configured to open specific pages on startup. But also, an additional tab (start page) always opens along the defined pages. This is not expected behavior I guess...
Maybe you can look into this...
- josh_bodner
cloud_entropy does this only happen with your current profile? In other words, if you add a new profile to the browser and try to set some startup pages, does the extra tab also appear in that new profile?
- Just double checked: Yes, does also apply to new profiles!
- I can confirm that. The problem is, that the NewTab page is the one that is focused on open.
josh_bodner Loving the new Edge and all you guys have been doing over the last year. The squished tab thing has been around for a few releases now and is very annoying - be great to have that one sorted as a priority.
