MicrosoftDev channel update to 92.0.891.1 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 92.0.891.1 to the Dev channel. We’ve got lots of exciting changes to talk about, so let’s jump right into it!
Added features:
- Added a dark gray theme to Immersive Reader.
- Added a Setting to turn on or off vertical tabs in all currently open windows.
- Added a setting to hide the title bar when tabs are in vertical mode.
- Finished rolling out Microsoft Rewards integration in the Account button.
- Added support for remembering the pin state of the History and Downloads menus (remembering pin state in general is still controlled behind a flag).
Improved reliability:
- Fixed an issue on Mac where dragging a tab out of a window sometimes crashes the browser.
- Fixed a crash on startup on Mac.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where the browser sometimes doesn’t open if multiple profiles are present.
- Fixed a crash when using Shopping features.
- Fixed an issue where some websites fail to install as apps.
- Fixed a hang when using IE mode tabs.
Changed behavior:
- Improved the Cookies In Use dialog.
- Fixed an issue where tabs sometimes aren’t restored after the browser is forcibly closed by a Windows Update-initiated machine restart.
- Fixed an issue where certain site data is deleted when the browser closes due to the setting to do so being turned on, even though those sites were on the exception list and thus should have been preserved.
- Fixed an issue where searching for settings sometimes causes the Settings page to go blank.
- Fixed an issue on Mac where some parts of the fullscreen Shy UI don’t respond to input.
- Fixed an issue where videos sometimes aren’t scaled or sized properly.
- Fixed an issue where the search sidebar sometimes can’t be closed.
- Fixed an issue where PWAs or websites installed as apps that are installed in multiple profiles sometimes have multiple Taskbar shortcuts instead of just one.
- Fixed an issue where websites installed as apps sometimes don’t have icons on their shortcuts when they should.
- Fixed an issue where changing the copy/paste settings doesn’t affect content already on the clipboard.
- Fixed an issue where tooltips sometimes are placed incorrectly.
- Fixed an issue where the profile picture on the profile Settings page sometimes is broken.
- Fixed an issue where the pages that open when the browser is first opened sometimes change unexpectedly.
- Fixed an issue where certain navigations are blocked that shouldn’t be when Family Safety is enabled.
- Fixed an issue in kiosk mode where the browser never resets after an allotted period of time if the current page is in IE mode.
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 this help article 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 still seeing favorites get duplicated. This issue should be reduced now that automatic deduplication has been introduced into Insider channels, but we’re still rolling that out in Stable. 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 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, all of the feedback to give is what makes this all possible!
- Looks like this version keeps crashing when starting typing some URLs (not all of them) in the URL bar. It crashes with segmentation fault. Since there is no source code or debug symbols available, it's impossible to report a bug that makes sense.
Hi,
Edge no longer displays my home page when I start up. I want it to open to google; however, it opens to the new tab page. Same when I open a new tab - I want it to go to google, not the new tab page. However, even when I change the settings, it doesn't help. It is a result of this update? Any way to fix? Thanks.
- This problem popped up over the weekend on several places. One of them was already fixed I think, the other one isn't yet afaik.
- Hey Edge team, is anyone actually working on fixing the vertical tabs "fitt's law" issue? Here is the discussion for that issue (this issue is driving me nuts! please fix!) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/vertical-tabs-should-be-consistent-with-fitts-law/m-p/1879058
Help Google fix color display on monitors with wide color gamut (DCI-P3). Your Edge web browser is also affected by this problem. On a wide color gamut monitor, I don't see the faint WebKit logo in Edge in this test: https://webkit.org/blog-files/color-gamut/comparison.html
In Edge, there is no difference between sRGB and P3 in the first test with a red square. Only in Firefox I see a faint WebKit logo.
Here's my bug report: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1211044
Please join us!- Finding an issue in Dev that is blocking 3rd party cookies even when the setting is off, i cant even use the microsoft site lol

matb86 do you have any extensions like ad blockers installed? Or what about Tracking Prevention, what's that set to?
The UI font appears vertically squished and horizontally bulging, like Earth, after this update. In the menus, Favorites' names, tab title, tab preview and cursor hover tooltips on the UI. Address bar and webpages are unaffected. Is it just me?
- Maybe? 😉
All is well over here on the UI side.
- This version is crashing sometimes when I try to open links in a new tab
- Same here.
- Hi! I'm wondering is there any news regarding the auto update situation on Mac? The new update mechanism landed in Canary a while ago, but it seems that all channels, including the Dev channel, still depend on the separate Microsoft AutoUpdate… Can't wait to get rid of it 😐
- This has already happened on mine, running the dev build and it no longer uses Microsoft Auto update, but instead just installs via Edge, much better implementation!
There's no flags for it either, so not sure if it's just being phased out- josh_bodner
KibosJ yes, we're still rolling it out, and since the updater is a separate program entirely, there's no way to control it on your end, like you can with flags for features. Currently it's only been rolled out to Canary and Dev, so it's expected that Beta and Stable don't have it yet.
Buenos dias. Intentare escribir en ingles:
Good morning, I write to you in English. Since I am a user in Spanish. whoever writes them is an ordinary citizen who makes use of computers for educational purposes. I warmly welcome that there is a version of micrososoft edge for linux (Ubuntu) because it allows me to navigate fluently in this system, really thanks for thinking about linux users, I hope that m will always continue to be implemented and updating this version of egde for linux. On the other hand and from the voice of silence, a voice that may not have significance; but it is a cry that I desire. If they could get a version of microsoft office for linux in native form. It does not matter in the paid version, that is, to acquire a license. and to be able to work comfortably, since computing is universal now. Maybe it does not have all the applications of the original version. I would like this request to reach someone or someone to read it. But it is a request from the human point of view, as a simple user of the world. Thank you. Lords of Microsoft- Spell checker still not working. Tried multiple languages.
It stopped working after an update, like 4 or 5 versions ago.- josh_bodner
Mapantz What do your spellcheck settings look like? Have you tried changing languages just to see if that kicks something?
English (United Kingdom) selected in "Check Spelling" and it is enabled.
That setting has always been like that, when Spell Checker was last working. The settings haven't changed. The Spell Checker immediately stopped working after an update - maybe 4 updates ago?
The only other langauge I have tried, is just "English" and tried things like "Colour" instead of "Color" as that would trigger it, but it doesn't anymore.
I cannot test any other languages, as I cannot type in any other.Edit: Just opened up the official build release and tested it, spell checker is working fine with identical settings.
