*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!

My sync functions are still a mess. Favorites are jumbled and/or duplicated.
How do I unmuddle it?
And is it fixed? (The muddling happened starting maybe a month or six weeks ago, right from the start of the sync funtionality.) If yes, I'll give it a try again.
Thanks in advance.
- Not sure if this a recent regression or not. Texts onn task manager (shift+esc) on dark theme invisible or dont have enough contrast.
fsc123 , the shortcut is "SHIFT-COMMAND-COMMA".
- Thank you, kindly.
josh_bodner IE mode seems to be broken in this build (was working previously). I constantly receive the message saying I have to re-install with administrator permissions or I have to restart Edge to use IE mode. My install path *is* Program Files and not my user directory. I've re-installed, though, just to be safe, and I am still getting the error.
Is it possible to add the possibility to sort favorites when managing favorites
Dch48 If you right-click in the favorites window, but not on a favorite, it will bring up a context menu and the first entry is "sort by name".
Buen día josh_bodner gracias por la actualización de esta semana, quisiera dejar una inquietud en referencia al área donde se visualizan las extensiones en el navegador en la esquina superior derecha. Al poner el cursor sobre la extensión se resalta un marco alrededor de la extensión en forma de cuadrado. Pienso que hay mucho espacio entre las extensiones, si lo cambiaran a la forma redondeada al igual que el apartado de cuentas de usuarios creería que visualmente seria más atractivo ver las extensiones menos separadas.
Good stuff! Video issues are fixed, and I very much appreciate the ability to hide a particular language I never want translated.
josh_bodner is this only me? when refreshing a page and the X comes up putting mouse over the cross.
- Not you are not. It also happens to me.
- I can reproduce this, too.
For all those saying they cannot see form fill and password sync, it is A/B testing.
I have two machines. One got it, one did not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rahsna Asurac that's correct, we're currently rolling it out to everybody in a controlled fashion, which means that some people may not see it until next week, and which is why it wasn't mentioned here.
Thanks josh_bodner.
Is it possible to remove the smiley feedback button from the toolbar? Maybe there could be a flag or toggle somewhere to disable it?
You can remove it either by the Edge Chromium group policies
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Allow User Feedback
> Disabled
Here is a good description how to deploy the new group policies (if you haven't already done):
https://winaero.com/blog/group-policy-templates-for-microsoft-edge-chromium/
Or simply remove the button in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
there create a REG_DWORD (32-bit) called UserFeedbackAllowed with value 0
That removes the possibility to send feedback. As I read the request the wish was to remove the Icon only - leaving the posibilty to send feedback through the menu.
I would also like that possibility. The current feedback button is ok for Canary and dev but a waste of screenspace for something production ready. I want that space for an Icon that gives something to my organisations productivity.
