Dev channel update to 93.0.910.5 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 93.0.910.5 to the Dev channel. As you can see, this is the first 93, so we’re a little lighter this week than last when it comes to changes, but we’ve still got lots to talk about!
- If you’re looking for new things to try, you can turn on the flag (and setting) to always use HTTPS when connecting to websites: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/06/01/available-for-preview-automatic-https-helps-keep-your-browsing-more-secure/. Please note that this will likely result in errors when connecting to websites that don’t support secure connections, so use at your own risk!
- If you’re looking for something less risky, we’ve also got a flag you can turn on to improve font rendering: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/06/02/improving-font-rendering-in-microsoft-edge/. For many people, this should bring the way text looks back to what it was in Edge Legacy.
- Finally, we’ve got an overview of some upcoming shopping features: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/05/27/new-shopping-features-to-help-you-save-money-for-summer-fun-and-all-your-back-to-school-needs/. If you’re a user of Bing Rebates or on the lookout for the best deal, this one’s for you!
Now, for this week’s notables:
Added features:
- Added a button on Mac that will directly appear on certain videos to let users enter Picture in Picture mode.
- Added the ability on Mac to use fingerprint authentication to allow viewing or autofilling a password.
- Added the Share option to the … menu in PWAs and websites installed as apps.
- Improved inking latency.
Improved reliability:
- Fixed a crash when navigating to a website.
- Fixed a crash when using the profile switcher in PWAs.
- Fixed a crash when using Google Meet.
Changed behavior:
- Fixed an issue where certain Settings pages are blank.
- Fixed an issue where the Immersive Reader toolbar is sometimes blank.
- Fixed an issue where icons on the toolbar that have text bubbles on them, for example extension buttons, are clipped or only partially visible.
- Fixed an issue where pinning a website to the Taskbar sometimes fails.
- Fixed an issue where toast notifications from websites sometimes don’t appear.
- Fixed an issue where the Save/Save As buttons in the Downloads popup aren’t shown properly in certain languages.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where opening a new tab sometimes doesn’t scroll the vertical tabs pane to make the newly-opened tab visible.
- Fixed an issue where irrelevant data is saved by autofill.
- Fixed an issue where user-installed fonts sometimes aren’t displayed correctly.
- Fixed an issue where Guided Switch settings for specific websites sometimes aren’t respected.
- Disabled the ability to customize the site list for Guided Switch on devices that have Information Protection enforced since the functionality is broken in this scenario.
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.
Beta users, be on the lookout for version 92 to come to you soon!

josh_bodner the latest release is causing an "out-of-memory" error when I'm opening Sherlock pages from Epicsystems website. Definitely coincided with the update on the 10th and I've rebooted multiple times with no change.
- Eric_LawrenceMicrosoft
Out-of-memory, Status_Breakpoint, RESULT_CODE_HUNG, and Access_Violation are all possibly symptoms of a bug in the accessibility code. If you visit edge://histograms/UIA, do you have anything listed there?
e.g. if you have the Windows 10 "Text Cursor Indicator" feature enabled, this page will show
Histogram: Microsoft.Accessibility.UIAClient recorded 1 samples (flags = 0x41)612857738 (1 = 100.0%)
See https://www.reddit.com/r/edge/comments/nx1170/edge_crashes_on_multiple_sites_result_code_hung/h1f9jee for some discussion. You can workaround this issue by closing all Edge instances (verify they're gone in Task Manager) and then starting Edge with
msedge.exe --disable-renderer-accessibility- Kent HerringBrass ContributorDisabling the Text cursor indicator feature in W10 fixed the various crashing issues with Edge Dev. I've had it enabled a long time but only recently it became an issue. I had the Histogram code for the text cursor indicator feature. It's gone now. Thanks for the idea!
- yoSachinIron ContributorBring back "web notes" to microsoft edge. And scrolling is still buggy.
- edwinlieMicrosoft
josh_bodner This is a very flaky build. Lots of site would just hang.
- MikaelCopper ContributorI concur, even Microsofts own sites as admin for Azure and Office 365 hangs and are unusable in this build.
- ratu2007Brass Contributor
Unable to open Search in Sidebar when using extension Ublock Origin or Adblock.
But it is working latest Beta version
- josh_bodnerMicrosoft
ratu2007 when you say you're unable to open the sidebar, what exactly are you seeing? Is the sidebar opening and then closing immediately? Is the option to open it gone? Is it opening but not loading?
- erkkiruohtulaBrass ContributorA not a browser but a distribution problem: for the past few updates, updating the Linux version on Fedora has been surprisingly slow. Looks like problem is either in the repository "https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/" or network close to it, because updating Chrome (whose download has similar size) is around ten times faster.
- BigEdCopper ContributorNew problem. When I pull up the Settings page and type anything into the search settings box the whole page goes blank. Unable to search anything in settings.
- josh_bodnerMicrosoft
BigEd does Settings still go blank when searching for a setting after you update to this week's Dev build? We've been fixing quite a few of these bugs where Settings goes blank recently, so I'm curious if you're hitting one of those, or a new one that we need to file.
- BigEdCopper Contributor
josh_bodner
Yes, it still went blank on the 1st letter/number I typed. I posted another post today of the troubles under my name.
- Eric_LawrenceMicrosoftThanks for the reports about blank settings pages.
If you hit F12 to open the Developer Tools console on the Settings pages, there will likely be an error message about whatever is causing the Settings page to appear blank.- BigEdCopper Contributorcommand.js:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

- erkkiruohtulaBrass ContributorI see that too (on the Linux version)
- abdelfattahIron Contributor
I'm getting a lot more pages that hang at one core's worth of full CPU usage, and continuously increasing RAM usage. I eventually get a frozen tab pop-up with the option to kill it or wait, and then RESULT_CODE_HUNG. It crashes differently if I let it gobble up all 20GB of RAM.
Had it start happening with YouTube, but only when I try to play a video, even though I was mostly free of the issues people were having before. Disabled all of the usual suspects (Enhancer for YouTube, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger) and still had it happen.
It happens on seemingly random sites too, like themoviedb.org.
Only started with the 93.0.910.5 update, or it could have been 21H1 this morning for all I know.
It seemingly stopped happening with YouTube after doing exactly one Ctrl+Win+Shift+B (thanks AMD!) so that may have been the same video issue from before, but it still happens with other sites. Plus, my video driver version didn't change before/after this, and the Radeon software still says I am up to date on 21.5.2 from May 11th.- ylefebvreCopper Contributor
abdelfattah I've also been getting a lot of pages hanging all over the place. It does seem to be more focused around Google Services (Gmail, YouTube, Calendar), but also happens on other pages.
- BobD68Iron ContributorI just can't believe the Passwords Page in Settings is blank. Complete unusable browser because of that. How does that get released into the Dev channel????
- AlexDCopper Contributor
abdelfattah Confirm. This version is unusable at all with SAP Fiori/SAPUI5 interfaces - permanent "Out of memory". F4 Helps after 2-3 times stopping to open and the page is freezes completely
- techWiz118Brass Contributor
abdelfattah Oh I'm glad to know it's not just me. I've been having problems with playing YouTube videos. It hangs the whole browser and then I have to quit out of Edge. I'm going to have to use Safari until this gets fixed. Edge Dev 93.0.910.5 on macOS Big Sur 11.4
Edit: This isn't just happening with YouTube. A bunch of sites seem to hang in Edge. I went to the Microsoft 365 admin portal and I can't do almost anything there without Edge freezing up. This wasn't happening until this update.
- abdelfattahIron Contributor
techWiz118 unfortunately so. AlexD replied to my comment with some other types of pages that do not work at all.
I kind of figured out what's going on with YouTube - the page always seems to hang when it tries loading the Related Videos on the side. Even if the video itself manages to start auto-playing, those never come in, and eventually that's when the video freezes.
Lo and behold, Enhancer for YouTube has an option for that!
I ticked "Hide related videos", killed the YouTube tab process that had reached 3 GB of RAM, and now YouTube just works again lol.
Oh no.
Nope. Still broken.
- BobD68Iron ContributorDarn, hours later and my passwords screen in Settings is blank still. I have been a long time Edge Dev user on the Windows side and it's always been great, no crashes or weirdness.
- atlantoIron Contributor
On Linux, edge://settings/passwords shows blank page when there is saved passwords. New profile having no saved passwords doesn't have this issue. Maybe macOS as well. This is new bug on 93.0.910.5 except on Windows.
- erkkiruohtulaBrass ContributorI see a blank page too.
- Joshua_HVBrass ContributorWill the new font rendering also apply to viewing PDFs in Edge? Thanks.
- BobD68Iron ContributorRunning the newest Edge Dev M1 build. Nice. Took about 15 min for all my sync settings to migrate. But it's now been 30 min and when I click to go to Passwords in Settings that screen is blank. Totally blank. I am thinking that is taking more time to sync....
- josh_bodnerMicrosoft
BobD68 and anybody else still seeing the blank Passwords page, we've got an open bug for this, so I'll ask the owner what the status is.
