This is the last build for version 89, and is what we plan on shipping to Beta next week, give or take a couple of small updates later this week. Since it’s the end of the release, we’ve got lots of exciting things to talk about!
As for everything new in the browser this week:

Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
With 89 moving to Beta next week, look for version 90 to start in Dev then too.

@Deleted, Microsoft issued a patch yesterday to the stable version, and I now have it on my Windows 10 devices. Unfortunately, things are now broken with sync on my Intel Macs (M1 Macs are fine), so that's something else to fix. I've already submitted help tickets re: this.

I seem to be running into a strange problem with version 89.0.774.8
Every time I browse to google.com.au, type something in the search box and hit "enter", edge would crash on me.
I have uploaded the behaviour as a video below. Any suggestions?

Hi,
please go to edge://crashes/
identify the crash item that is related to this, click on "submit feedback" button on it, then in the feedback window explain what happened that resulted in the crash (just like you did in this post), you can also attach this video file to your feedback from attachments.
Thank you

@HotCakeX I don't believe this is limited to the History flyout. The entire app is sluggish and slow. Tab transitions (switching or opening a new one), general opening the app and viewing the default tab screen (Informational View for me), opening settings, collections, etc. are all slow in this dev release. I happen to be running this on a Surface Pro 7 Core i7, and Win10 Dev Channel 21301 build. Edge didn't have this issue prior to these two builds.

Thanks, Done. Hopefully it will be looked at.

@HotCakeX password generation not being offered on many pages is a big issue we're trying to tackle right now. We're using machine learning to figure out what actually is a sign up page since it's not like there's any standard for them, but to help fill in the gaps, we've got a form here that anybody can fill out if they run into a site that it isn't triggering for: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR123cdFSKdZItI7mcVwhTx1UM1FN...

@ethanmenzel vertical tabs aren't enabled on any platform in full-screen yet since we're still determining, among other things, the interaction that would make the most sense.

@Deleted we're actively listening to feedback from people who want the "pinned" state of the menus to be remembered, so if you (and everybody else who wants it) haven't yet, make sure you file feedback in the browser telling us that since that will help us get an accurate count of how many people want it.

@rjchung the ability to name a window was an experimental feature that came from Chromium, and it appears to have been turned off.

@Bradley_King is this still broken for you after today's Dev update? Some people are reporting that this is fixed for them now, so it would be good to know if it's not for you.

@foo_bar is this still happening after today's Dev update?
Feb 03 2021 02:16 AM
@yoSachin today's Dev update had a fix specifically for scrolling. Did that make any difference?
Feb 03 2021 02:17 AM
@Henno_Keers a lot of the "edge windows becoming black" problems were caused by bad graphics drivers, and as the drivers got rolled out to more and more people, we got fewer reports of this. However, since there was never an actual fix for it on our end, there was nothing for me to mention in the release notes.

@Nicolas_Berard If you haven't already, can you send feedback from within the browser and make sure that screenshot is in there? That'll get a bug created in our system for it.

@Mark Chan we fixed a different bug in today's Dev update where copying something out of the address bar crashes Edge, so after installing today's update, are you still seeing your crash?
Feb 03 2021 02:20 AM
@eric_sjoberg The known issue about copying a URL out of the address bar crashing Edge was fixed in today's Dev update. Are you still seeing crashes after installing it?
