Jan 12, 2021Dev channel update to 89.0.760.0 is live
Hello insiders! Today we’re releasing build 89.0.760.0 to the Dev channel. It’s a light week this week, but here’s everything we’ve got to talk about:
Added features:
- Enabled Password Monitor on Mac.
- Added Edge Update policies to edge://policy/.
- Enabled support for the Browsing Data Lifetime management policy from Chromium.
- Added a management policy to Define Preferred Languages. Note that updates to documentation or administrative templates may not be available yet.
Improved reliability:
- Fixed a crash on launch.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where checking Edge’s version sometimes causes a crash.
- Fixed an issue where opening Edge in certain ways causes webpages to crash as soon as Edge is opened.
- Fixed a hang when using virtual desktops.
- Fixed an issue where re-installing Edge sometimes fails with an error that it’s still running.
Changed behavior:
- Changed the list of Downloads to show printed files that have been saved as a PDF.
- Changed extensions to be pinned to the toolbar by default when they’re installed.
- Fixed an issue where scrolling or playing videos sometimes results in screen tearing or stuttering.
- Fixed an issue where dragging and dropping tabs is broken when using vertical tabs.
- Fixed an issue where Spellcheck settings are missing from the Language Settings page.
- Fixed an issue where Share doesn’t work when using Immersive Reader.
- Fixed an issue where certain interactions with downloads that have been blocked by SmartScreen fail.
- Fixed an issue where Guided Switch sometimes leaves an empty window open when moving a tab from one profile to another.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where Edge doesn’t re-open after an update.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where certain keyboard shortcuts don’t work.
- Fixed an issue where Top Sites on the new tab page sometimes show the wrong site icon.
- Fixed an issue where searching from the new tab page in an InPrivate window doesn’t work.
- Fixed an issue where the keyboard shortcut to open the search sidebar sometimes doesn’t work.
- Fixed an issue where Family Safety users sometimes can’t log into websites.
- Fixed an issue where rotating PDFs that have been inked on sometimes results in the ink moving incorrectly.
- Fixed an error when exporting a Collection to OneNote.
- Fixed an issue with dragging and dropping items into Collections.
- Fixed an issue where the management policy to Block Third Party Cookies disabled users from changing the setting when set as a recommended policy.
- Removed the ability to clear Hosted App Data when closing the browser since it wasn’t functional.
Known issues:
- Certain extensions such as the Microsoft Editor extension don’t work on Linux. As soon as they’re installed, they crash and are disabled. We’re currently investigating.
- Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on Youtube. As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/known-issue-adblock-causing-errors-on-youtube/m-p/14... for more details.
- Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH error. The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.
- Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load. This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.
- Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated after we made some previous fixes in that area. The most common way this is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it with an account that has already signed into Edge before. This issue should be reduced now that automatic deduplication has been introduced into Insider channels. However, we’ve also seen duplication happen when running the manual deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for the automatic deduplication to make it to Stable, make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator.
- Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag.
As always, we couldn’t do this without you!

josh_bodner, why, since the previous update before de last one, it was not possibly anymore to keep all the webpages open in a steady painel when the tabs are vertically showed and we haven't got even the possibility to move them down and up in order to find the one hidden!!
It's important to those of us, as myself, who need to keep several tabs opened that the useful tool come back as soon as possible!
- Jussi PaloIron ContributorOh no, you again removed the edge://flags/#edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth flag 😞 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/edge-flags-edge-windows-credentials-for-http-auth-gone/m-p/2070196
- ethanmenzelSteel ContributorIf verticle tabs have an icon-only view and a text and icon view can we get that for horizontal tabs. it would be nice to have the option automatically have them as icons and then with the same button (the pin) be able to have the text as well. if you are not able to do this on horizontal tabs then I do not want it on verticle tabs.
- ethanmenzelSteel ContributorAre they ever going to bring verticle tabs to MacOS in full screen. In full screen on the mac, it just disables then reverting back to the old tabs

josh_bodner I've never seen this "My Feed" window before. Is this new? When I choose the gear, it brings me to the "New Tab" settings page.

Oh nice, that's a new feature behind a controlled rollout, only available to some Edge insiders.
at first I thought it's News and Interests that is in Windows 10 insider

inthink_root and anybody else experiencing sync issues, did you try the steps in the Learn More link to try to reset your sync data?

inthink_root 我也遇到此问题。关于我问题的详细信息可参见本条。
I'm also facing this problem. See this thread for more info about my case.

josh_bodner A bit of feedback on the tab groups experimental flag. The new changes are a little ugly. The coin shaped/ squared group labels are fine, it fits the aesthetic better than circles. The lines being on the top is bad though. Especially on the tab you have selected.

I 100% agree, it looks ugly and really looks like it's a bug.
the elements aren't even touching each other, there is gap there for no reason
I hope this is not intended because it's a regression compared to how it looked before

josh_bodner Please bring back the favicon-only layout for pinned tabs in vertical tab mode. All of a sudden my pinned tabs are taking up a row each and vertical tabs is a whole lot less useful with all that wasted real estate. Or, maybe even better, make it a configurable option whether to do favicon-only or whole rows for pinned tabs. Thanks!

- ethanmenzelSteel ContributorDo flags get removed after they are fully added within Microsoft Edge or do rhey automaticially get enabled once Are they added?
- josh_bodner

ethanmenzel The existence of a flag is actually kind of detached from the lifetime of the feature it controls. By default, all flags have an expiry date that's defined somewhat-arbitrarily but can be extended if need be. Once a flag expires it's no longer visible, but it could actually be removed at any time, or for that matter made invisible at any time.

Not certain if you are aware, but there appears to be an issue with certain websites loading and displaying properly. ( See attached image). Just wanted to give you a heads up. josh_bodner
