UPDATE: We pushed another update, which now brings the build number to 79.0.309.11.
UPDATE: We just pushed an update, which now brings the build number to 79.0.309.7.
Hello insiders, today we’re releasing build 79.0.309.5 to the Dev Channel! You may notice that this is only one build away from last week’s Dev, and that’s because this is our candidate for our next Beta release, so we want to make sure it’s extra polished before we release it there. However, that also means it’s a pretty light week this week in terms of notable changes.
We do have one known issue right now, where Edge sometimes launches to a blank white window. There are two possible causes. If you launch another window and it’s fine, you shouldn’t ever see the issue again. However, if subsequent windows are also blank, you’ll have to disable Application Guard in order to get Edge back into a working state. We plan on releasing another update later this week in order to get us in sync with Chromium’s Beta, so the fix for that cause should be in the updated build.
We’ll be back to normal next week, and it’s also Ignite! Will we see any of you there? In the meantime though, thanks to everybody who’s been using Edge and telling us everything you do and don’t like about it.

(no spoofing, no phishing). The link is alive more than 2 weeks and is still now. They want us to use it and see the results of it. Since the stable version is same as the dev version v79.0.309.7, we can uninstall it now. And I did it for me. All the things that happened was a plan of phased release.
That's all true.

What's new with the latest dev build of Chromium Edge? Asking because I got the update this past Tuesday which is 79.0.309.5 and now just got notified that there is another update. Whats new with this update? I do not see a change log posted.
Those minor updates are probably small bug fixes, all the major changes and new features are posted above :)

@josh_bodnerYes, all of missing browser windows are minimized. Is there a bug fix in the newest Chromium Edge update?

Freaking hell, the overlay scrolling is dropped. Should've not updated my Edge, bloody hell.

Hmmm, yet, strangely enough (in that case), I have it and w/ no flag, (that doesn't exist).
Cheers,

Interesting, I just noticed that, in version 79.0.309.7, Microsoft added the "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents" flag to the Dev channel:
In the previous version (79.0.309.5), the flag doesn't appear:
In Canary, Microsoft added that flag only until version 80.0.317.1. I wonder if, after the success and the good reception that the flag had on the Canary channel, Microsoft decided to release that small update on the Dev channel just to add that flag.

Leo, I use/like Dark Mode. This will fit in nicely after, I take a couple of minutes to get used to it
But, seriously, it's pretty cool and the continuity is great, indeed. I do like it, though.
And, yes, it is available for Dev AND it IS available for Canary. This is current Canary
NB: Sometimes some bits of text can't be seen, though... and that can present a wee problem. However, things like that CAN be made show with a little cleverness with highlighting, can make those visible.
Cheers,
Drew

No, it's down to me turning on a flag that is no longer available. The overlay scroll bar option is no longer available and that's a no no in my book. @HotCakeX
