Hello Insiders, today we’re releasing build 81.0.403.1 to the Dev Channel. One thing that we didn’t get a chance to mention last week was that we had to temporarily disable casting. It’s still functional, but you have to enable the edge://flags/#load-media-router-component-extension flag. We plan to enable it by default once again in a future update.
We also started a discussion here around two features that many of you have expressed that you miss from Edge Legacy: Set Aside Tabs and Warn On Close. Users of lots of tabs in particular will want to check out https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/discussion-set-aside-tabs-and-warn-on-close/m-p/1....
Finally, we made a new blog post about a very cool web developer feature: 3D view. You can learn how to enable it and check it out for yourself here: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/01/23/debug-z-index-3d-view-edge-devtools/. As for our most noteworthy changes this week:
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
As always, thanks for all your feedback and suggestions, we couldn’t do it without you!

Please, release a way to turn off the automatic updates or set the automatic updates combined with the limited connection toggle of the Windows 10.
I use the mobile network in my laptop and the Edge is spending a lot of data updating automatically! :loudly_crying_face::loudly_crying_face::loudly_crying_face:
The oldest Microsoft Edge didn't have this problem because the Edge was updated with the Windows Update, and it was disabled when the W10 was on limited connections.

@vctgomes I'll see what our install and update team have on their backlog for this, we definitely don't want to be using up peoples' data! In the meantime, we've got some policies that you could try if you're not on a Home version of Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-update-policies.

@josh_bodner shout out to how responsive you are in this forum, and to the hard work underway to make this the best browser on the Internet. Kudos.

I'm happy to hear that. I'd really like the Edge had support for the Limited Connections toggle in the future.
