Hello insiders, today we’re releasing build 80.0.345.0 to the Dev channel! We’ve also got an exciting update over on our blog about how our Tracking Prevention feature is evolving: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/12/03/improving-tracking-prevention-microsoft-edge-79.
Before we get to all the most noteworthy changes, it’s worth mentioning something that hasn’t changed: favorites sync is still disabled for most people in order to prevent some crashes and favorites duplication. However, if you’re currently syncing with Edge mobile, your favorites sync hasn’t been disabled, so if you’re experiencing Edge crashing shortly after startup, it’s likely that your favorites sync is still enabled.
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
As always, we’re very thankful for all of your usage and feedback!

Is DNS-over-HTTPS not supported properly yet?
Enabling edge://flags/#dns-over-https doesn't seem to do anything, 1.1.1.1/help shows that DoH is not enabled.
DoH in Firefox works fine, and 1.1.1.1/help shows that DoH is enabled when visiting it from Firefox.
Canary 80.0.351.0 but probably same story with current Dev build.
Hi,
try setting your DNS in your Windows IPv4 settings
I set it only in my router and the cloudflare DNS test didn't detect it, but after setting it in the Windows 10 IPv4 setting, it worked.
Edge insider Version 80.0.351.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Also to be more secure, use it system wide, Simple DNSCrypt:

I use quad9 dns in the Ipv4 settings, but with the flag enabled, Edge changes them to cloudflare ones and doh is enabled
That's weird, in the flag description there is no mention of Cloudflare
Enables DNS over HTTPS. When this feature is enabled, your browser may try to use a secure HTTPS connection to look up the addresses of websites and other web resources. – Mac, Windows

@josh_bodner Is the much thicker title bar on installed edge apps as of the previous update a design choice or a bug? I seems consistent over a number of devices, but personally I'm not a big fan.

Hmm, yeah, forcing DNS in adapter settings works although I had to do /flushdns in addition to that. Well, still I would've really preferred if DoH in Edge was set up similar to Firefox without relying on the DNS set in the network adapter settings so hopefully MS will make it work similar to FF.
The way it works in Firefox is you have a separate option for DoH in the network settings page where you can use custom DNS address or use Clourflare (comes as a default), no DNS setup required in the adapter settings.
I think Chrome either doesn't require DNS set in adapter setting or you can circumvent it by using launch parameters in addition to enable DoH flag.

Yeah i would like something like that too. Firefox uses its own network settings, you can set proxy settings inside Firefox that will only apply to it and not the rest of the system, SOCKS5, HTTP, HTTPS/SSL etc, even DNS over SOCKS5
I remember creating a topic about it 2 months ago
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Add-SOCKS5-Authentication-support-to-Edge-insider...
but didn't receive so much attention from developers unfortunately
no Google chrome needed to set DNS in network adapter in order for cloudflare website to detect the DoH, it was exactly like Edge insider, I'm using Edge and Chrome both Canary channels.

- Added SmartScreen protection from downloading potentially unwanted apps.
Two flags for some features mentioned in the OP post...
Both flags have been in Canary for a few days on my system, but have now been added to Dev as of the latest version of Dev today.....
There are more new flags in the Current version of Canary for you all to find....

p.s. The tracking prevention one is in "addition" to the flag that is there already for tracking prevention.....

Still not working for me. I have deleted my profile. I still get signed in every time with my domain account and I cannot remove it or sign out of it.
I have also tried using a GPO to disable it but this does not work either -- https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise/NonRemovableProfileEnabled-GPO-preference-does-not... . This will 100% stop my deployment of Edge at work. When I started testing Edge Dev I was not signed into anything at all without my consent. It started in a generic Profile which is what I would like. I will decide when/what users will sign into Edge, not Microsoft :)

Yeah exactly, I even have some PDF files that the drawing option is grayed out on them
I checked and the PDF file is neither blocked nor set to read-only.
