*Updated* Dev channel update to 77.0.235.5 is live
Hello insiders! Today we released build 77.0.235.5 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. This will be the last version with the major number 77, which means that this release puts us in sync with what’s in Chrome’s 77 release. As such, there were quite a few fixes and features this week that we believe are significant enough to mention:
Today's update to the .5 release contains a single fix for the Netflix error D1711-1331.
New features and behavior:
- Added the ability to never translate pages that are in a particular language.
- Added a keyboard shortcut for the … menu on Mac.
- Added a button to maximize the feedback screenshot editor window.
- Added the ability to resize the feedback diagnostic data window.
- Added group policies to allow SmartScreen to be managed by organizations.
Fixes for improved reliability:
- Fixed a crash during the first run experience.
- Fixed a crash when typing in the address bar.
- Fixed an issue where the browser crashes on startup.
- Fixed a crash when using the built-in translator.
- Fixed an issue where opening the feedback submission form crashes the browser.
- Fixed an issue where opening the Settings page sometimes crashes the browser.
- Fixed an issue where sites that use single sign-on sometimes hang the browser.
Fixes for improved behavior:
- Changed where app/website shortcuts are pinned depending on how the app/website is installed.
- Fixed some issues around the shortcut pinned to the Task Bar not showing the proper icon or launching the proper profile.
- Fixed an issue where typing in the address bar sometimes causes whatever address is autocompleted to start loading on its own.
- Fixed an issue where videos on certain sites like Netflix sometimes become hidden.
- Fixed an issue where print preview sometimes doesn’t render all pages.
- Fixed an issue where search engines that have been deleted reappear the next time the browser is opened.
- Fixed an issue where invalid data was being shown in certain form autofill popups (for example, email fields had popups containing generic data that did not contain valid email addresses).
- Fixed an issue where light or dark theme isn’t properly applied to system pages (Favorites, Settings, etc.) on Mac.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where the X to close a tab sometimes isn’t visible in dark theme.
- Fixed an issue where sign-in popups sometimes didn’t show the correct window icon and title.
- Fixed an issue where the browser sign-in dialog isn’t big enough to fit its contents.
As always, thanks for being an insider, and keep sending us all of your valuable feedback and suggestions!

josh_bodner give us the ability to sync the password or at least to "Export" to "Old Edge" so new password saved in the chromium edge is not lost.
And another feature that would be appreciated is "Disabling the DashPlayback in youtube".
- Thanks for the update. But how can I enable password sync? It is included on the "what's new" page but it is not listed here.
josh_bodner I have a suggestion for more security please make edit cards only open with verification
Hi GDevYoussef, if you are talking about the passwords that are stored in Microsoft Edge, you need to have a password on your Windows account and then you will get the extra protection.
Ok I know that but what about cards I think will be good if this feature added for credit cards alsoElliot Kirk
- After the previous update sign-in pop ups on some sites just close immediately on their own making it impossible to sign in. The fixes around sign-in popups in this update did not resolve that issue
The note about this release on .microsoftedgeinsider.com whats-new says it includes the ability to sync form fill data and passwords, but in Settings>Profiles>Sync the options to Sync Addresses and Passwords are still not available.
- Hi David - I haven't updated to the latest version on Windows yet, but this is definitely there on the Mac. I'll have a look later on Windows too.
Ian Betteridge Sorry, which 'this' is definitely there on the Mac? If you are replying to my New Tab Page post, I asked for 4 extra features I can't find in Edge Dev, although 3 and a half of them are in Firefox and Google Chrome.
When will full Tab Hover Cards be supported, it's been in Chrome for awhile now (and in derivatives like Brave) josh_bodner
- Video issue fixed. Thanks!
josh_bodner Updated successfully. Thanks.
josh_bodner the Twitter video playback issue/bug is now fixed
- That's really annoying bug!
- I think they got it fixed. Twitter video is no longer glitching here.
josh_bodner Thanks for the update.

I have been blown away by how much I like what you guys are doing with this project - it's easily my favorite browser out right now, and I haven't run into hardly any issues at all... until this last update. I've had a handful of instances where the browser locks up and becomes unresponsive, video playback inside of a page causes the browser to go completely black and non-response, video clips to stutter and lag, etc. Not entirely sure what happened, and I wouldn't call this current version unstable, but there's a huge disparity of reliability between previous builds and the current one from where I'm sitting.
