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!

The file picker and save dialog is blurry and scaled up now instead of sharp and crisp. I'm running Edge in 125% scaling but the dialog appears to be on 100% scaling and scaled up by Windows. Does this happen to anyone else? Do newer canary builds also show this behavior?

@josh_bodner Not sure if its related but Edge updated for me today and I had three BSOD for memory management. I was in Edge at the time.

Hi
if you're not sure, you can find out what caused the BSOD with these tools

Josh, thanks for the info. I have read through the comments following this latest Update/Build.
FWIW, have 345 on both 1909 and 2004 and both are running just fine. No mini overlay window, no crashing, touch keyboard works fine, everything, so far, seems a-ok. Oh and Fav Bar "icons only" stay as set. As so often, possible 'bugs' not necessarily universal.
Cheers,
Drew

Sync status is still "broken"
it's better to keep a backup of your favorites somewhere else for safe keeping

@HotCakeX Sorry for the delay. Let me see what I can do to get off of it and into the proper Insider Preview build. I never had any of the issues from that video and the upgrade link just tells me "Thanks for updating to the newest version" - so I guess I'll see about getting off of this one.

Changed my ring to Fast and getting the new preview. 19035 - much appreciated. I just assumed I was still working instead of being on Custom. I set it and forgot it. ^_^
Oh great, you're welcome, now we're on the same build :)

@Artimidorus if you ever run into the situation again where no page, including Settings, will load, see this article for a couple of workarounds: https://textslashplain.com/2019/09/27/aw-snap-every-tab-crashes/. The short story is that there are a couple of known causes of this behavior: one of them is for certain users. If they open Edge with Administrative privileges, they'll see this. Most people can use Edge in Admin mode just fine though, but that's why we put the little dialog to warn people when they're in Admin mode. The other known cause is having certain software installed (usually antivirus software) that tries to inject DLLs into Edge.

@Drew1903 don't forget, we've got a discussion going here to try to figure out why people want to be able to ink on webpages: what types of pages do they do it on, what do they write, what scenarios can they accomplish with ink that they can't any other way. That will help us know where to start prioritizing the work: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Inking-on-Web-Pages-Discussion/m-p/1006005.

@John4290 and @Ronald Lawrimore, this is a known bug we're tracking. It's worth noting that we've only seen this happen so far on high DPI displays (displays where Windows' scaling is set to >100%), so it would be really good to know if you're seeing it on displays with normal DPI scaling.

just re-downloaded DEV and you are correct, I have 2 4K monitors and they were at the default recommended 150%, switching it to 100% where my aging eyes can't read the fine print the flashing mini window goes away, additionally the Canary Build does not have this defect. I was just going to use it till next week when the next beta and try again.
Thanks hope that helps.

I have the same error with a screen resolution of 125% or 150%. With 100% all is fine. But my tablet pc "has to run with 150%”. With 100% all text is to small. So i deinstalled edge dev and installed edge beta, too.
