MicrosoftDr. Jeffry A. Spain - this should now be fixed in the latest dev channel build - 77.0.211.2.
Balaje_Krishnan Yes, thanks, I confirmed that this is fixed in 77.0.211.2. I've been using Edge Dev as my default browser for a couple of months now. It's working really well overall.
I'll add one more comment. When Edge Dev is launched from a built-in administrator account, it displays the message "Administrator Mode Detected: Close Microsoft Edge and relaunch in non-administrator mode for best performance." I'd like to be able to turn this warning off in the Edge Dev settings. It's my usual practice (and I imagine that of a lot of other system administrators) to sign into Windows servers as a built-in administrator. I'd rather use Edge Dev than the ancient Internet Explorer, and I'd rather not use a third-party browser. I'll stipulate to the pros and cons in terms of security vs. ease of use of logging onto a server as a built-in administrator.
Thanks. Jeff.
