Why all of these HTML5 features are turned off in the last few builds of Edge canary?
- Web Cryptography API
- Content Security Policy 1
- Audio track selection
- Video track selection
- ObjectRTC API for WebRTC
- Enumerate devices
- Screen Capture
- Access the webcam
- Credential Management
Source?
I compared the current Edge canary Version 83.0.478.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
with the results of a previous version:
Edge now scores 473
I haven't disabled any flags, I'm using the same flags that I have always enabled, there are of course more flags enabled right now than there were before but nothing disabled by me.
the score has been that low in the past 2 weeks, so you can say since the past 5-6 canary builds.

- Canary builds are to test and introduce bugs and experiment the features
and they are not obligated to explain the changes 🙂
i'm glad it's finally downwarded your expectations- Spoiler

i'm glad it's finally downwarded your expectationsThat's only your opinion which is not true. Edge team have been very nice so far answering to users issues.
you're glad what? my expectations are intact don't worry.
- Interestingly, for me the base score (default canary with no flags) is 528, way higher than 473.
I temporary disabled all flags by launching edge with '--no-experiments'
If I leave the flags enabled the score rises to 533.- Spoiler

You could find a full list of enabled flags plus command line switches at "edge://gpu".
under the 'Version Information' section in front of 'Command Line'.
Perhaps something else has been causing it.
