Dev channel update to 91.0.864.1 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 91.0.864.1 to the Dev channel. This is our final build for version 91, give or take a small patch or two, so this is what’s coming soon to a Beta near you! Since it’s the end of a release, there’s not much to talk about, although we do have a small announcement for our mobile Insiders who have Apple devices: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/microsoft-edge-insiders-and-our-ios-testflight-app/m-p/2272598. As for what’s new in the product:
Added features:
- Added options to print documents at their actual size or to fit them to the page.
- Added an option to prompt before closing a window with multiple tabs open.
- Added the ability to clear Media Foundation data on demand. Note that on-exit is coming later.
- Enabled Math Helper by default on Mac and Windows now that the rollout has completed.
- Added a management policy to enable Math Solver.
- Enabled support for the Chromium management policy to control Explicitly Allowed Network Ports.
- Added support for ClickOnce on Windows 7.
Improved reliability:
- Fixed a crash when dragging and dropping tabs.
- Fixed a crash on launch that makes it appear as though the browser isn’t opening.
- Fixed an issue where certain websites crash a few seconds after loading.
- Fixed a crash when interacting with the Favorites popup.
- Fixed a crash when sorting Collections.
- Fixed a crash when Collections sync is enabled.
- Fixed a crash when closing tabs while popups like the Find On Page bar are open.
- Fixed a crash when Shopping is enabled.
Changed behavior:
- Fixed an issue where the favicons for the Top Sites tiles on the New Tab Page are broken.
- Fixed an issue where Collections appear to have no items in them even though they do.
- Fixed an issue Collections deletes and undeletes sometimes don’t work or don’t sync.
- Fixed an issue where the Site Information popup incorrectly states that webpages currently being viewed in Immersive Reader are aren’t secure even though the original webpage was.
- Fixed an issue where the management policy to Save Cookies On Exit isn’t working for certain websites when the Default Cookies Setting is set to delete cookies on exit (option 4).
- Fixed an issue on Linux where online voices for Read Aloud sometimes aren’t working.
- Fixed an issue where the basic authentication prompt appears for websites when the Windows Hello prompt is expected because a management policy is set.
- Improved the Immersive Reader keyboard shortcut to apply to more pages.
- Fixed an issue where Immersive Reader eligibility for some pages unexpectedly disappears when interacting with the pages.
- Fixed an issue tab drag and drop sometimes doesn’t work with vertical tabs if tabs are pinned.
- Fixed an issue where websites that are installed as apps sometimes don’t handle links that should open in them (instead, the links open in regular tabs).
- Fixed an issue where translating web pages can sometimes cause content on them to disappear.
- Fixed an issue where dropdowns on webpages appear to be autofill data even when they aren’t.
- Fixed an issue where the Device Mode button in the F12 Dev Tools sometimes doesn’t work.
- Fixed an issue where right-clicking on Collections sometimes doesn’t bring up the correct menu.
- Fixed an issue where popups from IE mode tabs sometimes open in regular tabs instead of IE ones.
- Obsoleted the management policy to enable Proactive Auth.
Known issues:
- Certain extensions such as the Microsoft Editor extension don’t work on Linux. As soon as they’re installed, they crash and are disabled. We’re currently investigating.
- Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on Youtube. As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed. See this help article for more details.
- Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH error. The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.
- 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 still seeing favorites get duplicated. This issue should be reduced now that automatic deduplication has been introduced into Insider channels, but we’re still rolling that out in Stable. We’ve also seen duplication happen when running the manual deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator.
- 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.
Those of you running Stable may have noticed that it also recently updated to version 90, and we couldn’t have gotten there without you!

- Maybe the smaller font should be accompanied by a smaller address bar overall.
Not complaining but this surprised me.
"Added support for ClickOnce on Windows 7. "
That doesn't violate the EOL announcement for the old OS?
- The smaller font looks VERY out of place, please revert it to how it was or at least give us an option to change it.
- There is still work that needs to be done with touch and Tablet Mode in Windows 10.
ShyUI still doesn't work in Tablet Mode on Windows 10.
There is no way to have two screens side by side while in ShyUI in Windows 10.
The interface needs to be adjusted for usability while in Tablet Mode in Windows 10.- Also putting extensions in the ellipses menu needs to come back. Don't sabotage the browser because Chrome decided to add a puzzle button. This is case of "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."
- Spell checker is still not working. It is enabled, and English (United Kingdom) is selected.
It was working fine two versions ago.. It seems like in this Dev version Microsoft autofill (authenticator) extension cannot load passwords. When I click the extension and click manage passwords, they are loading but no passwords shown, just loading and loading. No problem in stable channel whatsoever. josh_bodner
- Greetings. Much as I admire Edge, it still has some errr, rough edges. For around a year now I have been reporting a problem when a site opens a file-open dialogue, and the whole dialogue, and browser, freezes - the only solution is to kill edge and re-open
There is also a problem with long pull-down lists that navigate by keyboard characters. They stop scrolling, and after a few minutes the page is replaced by an error message
The first happens around 30% of the time a file dialogue is invoked. The second might not happen for weeks, but when it does it does it over and over again, even if edge is closed and restarted. Only a windows reboot fixes it.- yeah I hope Microsoft fixes this weird two finger touchpad scroll issue, I am experiencing it too
- I've had the issue with the dialogue and browser freezing. I've been reporting it in Feedback Hub because the Event Viewer shows that Explorer.exe is hanging. It also happens when you download a number of files in a day. Suddenly you try to save one, and it hangs.
- Yes, I've tried the feedback hub too. But when I record a session for the feedback hub with the browser file dialogue freezing and stop recording it says there is nothing in the recorder to send.
- I'd like to have the Overlay Scrollbar flag back, so I don't have to create shortcuts with the flag embedded in the command. What I can do to request it?
- I also don't like smaller font in omnibar. I'm good with smaller font for showing URL but when I'm typing in the search requests or new URL it is harder to read. But maybe I get used to it.
