Don't know. I've got the same build. May be security patch.

@Speednet 

 

Maybe we should be allowed to customize the color of our folders or leave them on 'transparent' which would be how they were before?

@Elliot Kirk  Is there any plan for adding the Set aside tabs feature back into Edge? As an enterprise business Admin, several unique Edge features are what drove user adoption. This feature, in particular, is a favorite among our users. I fear if it is not included in the Chromium version of Edge, user adoption will plummet. This is such a powerful tool for users who need to stay organized with their web research and web-based applications. 

@Elliot Kirk When do you think we'll be able to see Fluent Design in the form of acrylic added? 

@Elliot Kirk 

 

Testing out IE mode in our enterprise environment and it's working great. With the Legacy Browser Support addon it's seamless already. Great work.

 

Looking forward to the production version so we can ditch IE/UWP Edge ;)

Thank you very much@Elliot Kirk 

@ArkansasBen77  Good thank you

@Elliot KirkGreat work on the updates.  However, it seems that some extensions like LastPass are not working on the new build.  I also tried EnPass and it doesn't appear to work either.  Maybe something to look in to? 

@briancuster I would try removing and re-installing. I have no issues running LastPass or uBlock or other extensions.

@Elliot Kirk thank you for your answer! Will be wating for the feature. Thx

@Elliot Kirk 

Can you please fix Netflix casting to chromecast? Two builds ago it worked fine, but ever since you updated it, it no longer casts correctly. If I play anything from Netflix on Chromecast all I get is a black screen on the remote screen. 

Nice find, I would like to try this - what is the flag called?

@Elliot Kirk - The "Paste and search" icon in the context menu is missing. This is what happens from the beginning. As well as some other icons in the context menu, such as "Select all" or "Past as plain text".

For the yellow icon and the omitting of http, http and www in URL, it's just a glitch when merging Chromium upstream source, and has already been fixed in Canary.

@flamott Oh no, you're saying the yellow folder color is not staying?

@Speednet That's right, the yellow folder icon is from Chromium, and has been corrected. In fact, the folder icon has regressed to Chromium one before, but was fixed in Canary before going into Dev.

@flamott That's terrible news, but thanks for the heads-up.  The white icons are horrendous, making them extremely difficult to distinguish from generic "page" icons. 

@MarsMas you can also hold down control when clicking any link to open it in a new tab. (this works in every browser I am aware of

Seeing and message that "Sync has been turned off by your administrator" But we are not controlling any settings for Edge @Elliot Kirk
