Known issues:
- 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 The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.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 This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.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.
Since this is it for version 94, you should also be looking for it to come to Beta soon!
- Paul_VCSteel ContributorQuestion about Edge for Android: is it possible (persistent via a flag) to set the user interface of the browser to Dark Mode, but to still render websites in their original colors instead of automatically convert them to Dark Mode as well?
- josh_bodnerMicrosoft
Paul_VC have you tried disabling the edge://flags/#enable-force-dark flag? The new Dev/Beta builds should have full access to flags, including this one.
- Paul_VCSteel ContributorI set that flag to Disabled (Edge Canary latest version on Android 11), and it does not solve it. Websites are still always rendered in Dark Mode).
- Behzad_ABrass ContributorWhat happened to Linux packages?
- cheeseleaderSteel ContributorLatest canary build. Webpage scrolling sucks. PDF rendering sucks. This browser is nothing like classic edge.
I see every toggle you put as a compromise. For example, Efficiency mode. I can see animations and frame rates dropping. If this mode is supposed to kick in for most users when battery is low then you are basically having two different experiences. I wanted it to run efficiently all the time, minus the slightly worse experience. - UnitrendsILPCopper Contributor

Seams like you are active and talk more josh_bodner so why are tab previews marked as addressed when we were were told to discuss what we wanted and Pinned tab previews are not added.
- ethanmenzelSteel Contributor
time after time, feedback, after feedback nothing has been done about the profile picture in the profile menu on Mac OS. by the way my profile picture inside of edge, is correct but I don't want to send proof because it's of me.
