Hello insiders, today we’re releasing build 83.0.461.1 to the Dev channel. As you can see, this is the first update from major version 83. This is a slight deviation from our normal schedule due to current events. Also, if you missed it last week, we announced here that we’re temporarily pausing any major updates to Stable in light of current global circumstances and to be consistent with the Chromium project: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/03/20/update-stable-channel-releases/.
As for all that’s new and noteworthy:
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
Thanks for all the bugs you’ve been finding, and look for major version 81 to head to Stable soon!

@HotCakeX let them settle down :) I think we will get that but later in April.

Hey Edge Team,
Will extensions sync across channels?
For example will extensions in canary sync to dev and to stable (once stable gets extensions sync)?

Not Edge team, but I can say the answer is yes.
I'm already syncing extensions between Canary and Dev on my machines, and with 99.999% certainty it will work across all 4 channels once they get the feature.

New feature? Now you can set your search provider for the new tab... if it is not new, I am sorry :)

@josh_bodner The "add all tabs to a new collection" feature is great, but can it go one step further so that if you have multiple tabs selected, then the option becomes something like "add all selected tabs to a new collection"? I know you could achieve this by pulling the selected tabs out into a new window and then using the feature as it currently is, but I think it'd be a nice bit of extra polish to be able to do it in open step.
Thanks!
Edit:
Oh! And I just noticed that the default screenshot in the feedback panel is no longer always just black! I don't think I checked with the last couple updates, so not sure when it got fixe but I'm happy to see that working again.

Hi, the reason for black screenshot in feedback is this:
it can still happen if you set it to "block", trying it right now.

@josh_bodner Just updated Edge Dev to version 83.0.461.1, and now the color of all tabs is the same as the Edge theme color. Previously (ver 82) the tab color was transparent (or it at least appeared the same as the Windows title bar color). Is there a way to change this behavior?

It's temporary, probably in the next update a week later it will be gone.
on Version 83.0.467.0 it's gone which is Canary channel.
Canary channel has newer version and once Dev reaches the same or later version it will get the same features/changes.
related discussions:
you can temporary upgrade to Canary or degrade to Beta channel until next Dev update.
you could also install 3rd party themes to change it.

@HotCakeX Thanks - just launched Canary and I see that now. I had also just found your forum post on this very topic. Appreciate the help!

@josh_bodner Adding the Family Safety settings is great but it would be great if Microsoft would have a content filter for work and school accounts.

Hello, may I ask how to revert to this kind of tab coloring?
Because the new style is really hard on my eyes for visibility (accessibility-wise) on which is the active tab.
Not to mention, the new style introduces an ugly gap on the right side of the active tab.
Mar 27 2020 11:29 PM
@sprite-1 I totally agree! The new style is so hard to see in dark mode. I hope they get rid of it.

@josh_bodner Hello! I just a minor concern regarding the dark mode, I hope the scroll bar should be darkened to adapt it to the Dark Mode. Including the scrollbars on certain websites like Facebook, YouTube, and many more. Thank you so much!

- Some users are unable to see screenshots in the feedback tool. Once cause is that they have their media autoplay settings set to “Block”, so turning the setting back to “Limit” or “Allow” should fix it.
Thanks! This fixed it for me, however I did some more, to make it work:
Note that only Limit and Allow was visible for me, no Block option.
As you can see, my test scenario was in a current window to begin with, which could be the reason, but I included it for full transparency of all the steps I went through to make it work :)
