Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 87.0.634.0 to the Dev channel. As you can see, this is the first release for major version 87, and we have lots of exciting new features to share! But first, an important update about the end of Adobe Flash: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/09/04/update-adobe-flash-end-support/. We also would like to extend a special invitation to anybody who doesn’t sign into the browser. We want to hear from you tomorrow (September 10th) live and not in person: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/not-signing-into-the-browser-why-or-why-not-we-wo.... Now, for those exciting features:

Since 87 is now in Dev, look for last week’s build to make its way to Beta soon!

I'm not sure about pages running in background but, the sessions loads definitely different from early version, since 86 beta version it loads from folder called Sessions with, and before that was loading from 4 files current session, current tabs, last session and last tabs. @josh_bodner

@Dan33185 Interesting, do you have any other extensions installed? Or maybe cookie or tracking prevention settings that are interfering? Can you get it to happen in an InPrivate or a Guest window?
Sep 14 2020 06:17 PM
@Kestech It looks like Chrome is doing something similar, so we might have picked it up from them. I'll see if this is something our engineers are aware of.

@yoSachin Can you try enabling or disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling, edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling, edge://flags/#disable-threaded-scrolling, edge://flags/#compositor-threaded-scrollbar-scrolling, and edge://flags/#enable-de-jelly flags one at a time to see if that makes any difference?

@josh_bodner New build today but open tab issue not fixed, disappointed for such a big issue. Gonna drop back to beta as my primary. Dev has been good as a daily up till now.
Sep 16 2020 09:57 AM
@josh_bodner I did as you said. Nothing seems to be working. When I scroll with a mouse it's okay, but when I use touchpad, the problem creeps up again. There is no such problem in Stable Edge though.
Sep 16 2020 10:58 PM
@yoSachin Okay, that's good to know that it's probably not a configuration problem then. Since it's still okay in Stable, I'm wondering now if this is something we recently introduced ourselves, or if we picked it up from Chromium. Can you install Chrome Canary or Dev to see if it also happen in them? Also, what brand of computer are you using, and does updating your trackpad drivers help?

Why is Edge the only web browser that doesn't support AV1 on YouTube?

@Vlad_Koon We just added support for it in Edge 85, but I believe you have to install an extension in Windows first in order to get it to work: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/av1-video-extension/9mvzqvxjbq9v. If you already have, do you have an example of a video where it's not working?
Sep 17 2020 10:37 PM
@yoSachin Hmm, there's still a chance that this is just something temporary and that Chrome Dev already has the fix (we're usually a few days behind them, which can often translate into one or two Dev releases), but I'll ask our scrolling team if there are any known issues with ALPS drivers.

@Vlad_Koon Well that's weird, it's working for me!
BUT only in Edge 87 (so, Dev and Canary). So, it's possible that the level of support we introduced isn't available in Beta or Stable yet. Which version of Edge are you seeing this in?
Sep 21 2020 03:06 AM
@josh_bodner Edge Stable 85.0.564.51.

Sep 21 2020 10:36 PM
@Vlad_Koon okay, that makes sense. If you have Edge Canary or Dev, you should see if it works there, because I suspect it will.
Sep 21 2020 10:38 PM
@yoSachin it looks like the next Dev update will contain a fix for an issue where smooth scrolling isn't working, so you should look for that, although we don't necessarily know for sure if that is indeed your issue or not.
