Dev channel update to 85.0.564.8 is live
- Jul 21, 2020
Today's small update should provide a fix for the issue where some icons are too big. Additionally, we improved the relevance of Family Safety reporting data, and we fixed an issue where certain management policies like HomepageLocation or NewTabPageLocation stopped working and returned a message that they were blocked.

Any plans to improve web page rendering without needing to use an extension like "font rendering enhancer"? This has been discussed for months in another discussion with fawkes (one of your developers)...
Firefox has darker, sharper fonts and photos look a bit richer also and doesn't need any extension... the Google developers have apparently no interest in taking care of this...we were hoping the MS Edge/Chrome developers would....We have been waiting many months....will this be done? and if so, when might we expect to see a change? (we would also appreciate it if you'd let us know here)...

craig10x our work on font rendering is a longer-term project since it's something that touches a lot more of the internal guts of the browser than a lot of our UI work. We definitely intend to keep working on it though since there's a noticeable difference between new Edge and Edge Legacy.

josh_bodner The new "Picture dictionary" feature is fun to use when available !
I definitely miss the "simple" dictionary from Edge though. I can work around by using a bing sidebar search on the word I want, then adding "meaning" to the word query in the sidebar search. But this is less than ideal and it's one of the reasons I still do my reading on legacy Edge : One click on a word and the definition is there !
I know I can translate the entire page, but it does not improve my English as much as looking for definitions does, since I can't see what was translated into what.Does the team have any plans for that classic dictionary yet, to go along with the picture dictionary 🙂 ?

AmineI good question! It's on our backlog since it was something we had in Edge Classic, but we don't appear to have a timeline for when to expect it yet.
