Dev Update to 76.0.159.0 is live
Hello insiders, today we released build 76.0.159.0 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. Some of the fixes and improvements in this build are in the change summary below
New features and improvements:
- Added a "Copy download link" option to the menu for a downloaded item
- The context menu for a canceled download no longer shows a list of disabled items, and instead shows only "Copy download link"
- Added a "Save as" option to the toolbar in the PDF viewer
- The "Add to dictionary" context menu option for a misspelled word now has an icon
- For quick links on the new tab page, if there is no site icon available we now show an icon created from the first letter of the site
- Increased the size of some text on the user profile flyout for readability
- When a tab is at minimum width and only shows the close button, that close button is now centered in the tab
- In the Apps submenu, an option now reads "Install this site as an app" instead of showing a really long menu item name that contained the title of the current site
- When using the keyboard to move through tabs, you can now press enter and not just space to switch tab
Bug fixes:
- The send feedback dialog no longer spellchecks URLs and email addresses
- Fixed a bug where Microsoft Edge may crash after it was accessed through a remote desktop session
- Fixed a crash when navigating back to history search results
- Fixed a crash related to tooltips that would occur in a number of different scenarios
- Fixed a visual formatting problem with the warning about a dangerous file download
- Fixed a bug in the DevTools Performance tab where the checkboxes in the event log viewer overlapped with the content of the adjacent pane
- New tab page settings no longer show up in settings search
- Fixed a bug with tree views (such as the one seen when adding a new favorites folder) were showing black-on-dark-grey icons in dark theme
- The icon for the new tab page is no longer black on dark grey in dark mode
Thanks again to everyone for being an insider, and keep the great feedback and bug reports coming.

Nice update. Let's, also, keep up to date with what all is, still, missing... be sure to add whatever I have not mentioned. Just dealing with basic 'Must haves".
>Set aside
> Add notes
> Share
> Pin to task bar (Can drop the silly Pin to desktop, geeesh)
> Favorites - Sort by name
> Use panels or fly-outs, as Edge now, NOT, pages for Settings & more.
> Fix the bad behavior with Multiple Desktop use!
> Make New tab be the Specified page ALL THE TIME!
> Replace the confirm dialogue box (from Edge) when closing multiple tab Edge C windows!As I said, please, add anything I've forgotten to include.
Cheers,
DrewI actually much prefer the full page for Edge settings. I never liked the small pane Edge used: on desktops & laptops, I prefer seeing it all in once place. And the search function works reasonably well.

I'm also getting much higher CPU, RAM, and even GPU usage with 76.0.159.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit). I've reported it via the Smiley face.
My CPU fan was at 80% with just a few tabs open, on an i5-8600K! I thought I'd mistakenly scheduled a render for the middle of the day.Sometimes, both Edge & "Desktop Window Manager" have similar CPU usage, but perhaps a red herring.
More concretely, the RAM usage is quite high: Google News + this forum + Settings and I'm at 1.9GB!
"The RAM usage is quite high"
In edge://flags, try enabling "Proactive Tab Freeze and Discard". It may not work though, as the devs suppressed "page-almost-idle" Chromium flag. In addition, install The Great Suspender extension from Chrome store.
However, without fixing the High CPU Load bug, its all meaningless.
Yes I love the current fly-out that Edge uses now. It is one of the main reasons I started to use Edge over the other browsers. One click of the button and I'm able to see all of my favorites pop out on the side of the screen. I really don't like the Menu --> hover over favorites --> slide over to select a favorite approach that all the other browsers have. Edge makes it so much quicker and easier.
Awesome! Doing great with the browser so far. Two questions, what is the status on if you guys are going to implement set aside tabs? Also, are you guys going to change the inprivate icon to the blue one like I asked if you would here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Inprivate-mode-seriously-needs-to-have-brought-back-the-blue/m-p/558173/highlight/true#M3159 because it looks better with it than the current one. Others are agreeing that it makes it better and different from chrome if you changed it. Please and thank you, keep up the good work.
