Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 92.0.902.2 to the Dev channel. It’s been a while since our last release, so there’s lots to talk about in this build! This is also the last build for version 92, give or take some patches, so expect to see this coming to Beta soon! Speaking of builds, last week was Microsoft Build 2021! Since Build is now a completely digital event, everybody can join! Visit https://mybuild.microsoft.com/sessions to get started. We’ve also got an overview of everything we talked about here: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/05/25/whats-new-edge-build-2021/. To coincide with Build, we’ve got lots of other exciting news to talk about this week. The biggest is that we’ve officially announced the retirement of Internet Explorer!

As for everything new in the browser: Added features: Added a feature flag to enter Immersive Reader automatically when navigating to an eligible page.

Enabled by default the ability to pin the Favorites, History, etc. menus and have that state remembered, as well as the Collections popup menu. Added management policies to control if the setting for AAD Website SSO Using This Profile is Enabled, the Automatic HTTPS Default setting, if Internet Explorer Integration to Reload In IE Mode is Allowed, the Internet Explorer Integration Local Site List Expiration in Days, and if Local Browser Data Share is Enabled, which controls how Edge shares local user data with the Windows Search Indexer.

Fixed an issue where the Settings page to view all permissions for a particular website is blank. Fixed a hang when opening the browser. Fixed an issue where AV1 videos sometimes don’t work. Changed behavior: Fixed an issue where certain videos, like on Amazon, fail to play with the error “video unavailable”. Fixed an issue where recent tabs aren’t restored via ctrl+shift+T if a PWA or a website installed as an app has recently been closed. Re-enabled PWAs and websites installed as apps to be restored with the browser’s previous session.

Fixed an issue where certain UI like the new tab button is unexpectedly colored red. Deprecated the management policy to control if Internet Explorer Integration Testing is Allowed. Obsoleted the management policy to Enable Sha 1 For Local Anchors. Disabled Kids Mode on Linux. 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. For Stable users, version 91 was released last week, so be on the lookout for that!

josh_bodner Noticed a visual bug in the notification count for extensions on the address bar. Check the clipped out parts in the attached image.

Oh ... dear. I was very pleasantly surprised last week when Stable went to 91, but unlike Canary and Dev when they went to 91, Stable did not lose the very usable UI for using (not just managing) many more extensions than fit in the toolbar and did not get the Extensions button. I was all ready to uninstall all Edges off phone and laptop as I just can't be having a browser with such a poor UI for many extensions that takes so much more time and mental and physical effort to find and left and right click on extension buttons when there are many more extensions than fit in the toolbar (for me max 10 visible in toolbar to still have a usable length of address box). I hoped this meant you had accepted that the Extensions button (alone - with changes and working alongside a toolbar overflow menu would be OK) was NOT a solution, and weren't going to ditch the very usable old many-extensions-buttons-UI from Stable until you did have an acceptable solution, but it just wasn't ready for Canary and Dev yet. But now you're going on about completing the Extensions button roll-out. Which makes it sound like you are not accepting this as an issue that you'll address and going to kill Edge for me soon. Again, if I have, say, 20 more extensions than fit on the toolbar, some of which I often need to left and/or right click on, and many of which I will sometimes need to click on, the Extensions button, with one line per extension, so there's a honking great list I have to actually scroll through, including the extra 10 that are already visible in the toolbar cluttering the list to make the ones NOT on the toolbar harder to find, and only ordered alphabetically, not e.g. according to my wishes with the most used at the top, and some extensions with odd names so I don't even remember where they are in an alphabetical list without effort - it takes MUCH more physical trackpad moving and scrolling, much more mental effort to find and much more TIME to use, and is just not acceptable to me as a severe loss of usability in the UI. This is a MASSIVE downgrade in UX for people who use lots of extensions. As against the old UI where at the top of the More... menu, right by where one clicked on it, one had normal sized toolbar buttons, 6 to a line, reacting just like in the toolbar and able to be re-ordered like inn the toolbar, not a completely different UI to in the toolbar, NOT with the buttons already in the toolbar cluttering it up, all buttons immediately visible after clicking on More ... and within a small movement on the trackpad - THAT was good UX. If you want to e.g. recreate that dropping down from a new toolbar overflow button rather than in the More... menu, and keep the Extensions button for extension management but alter it so they can co-exist (so most especially turning off the Extensions button does NOT change the toolbar-visibility state of any buttons), that would be fine. But as it stands, if an update hits that means there's no version of Edge with a good use-many-extensions UI, that is when I'm still poised to uninstall all Edge versions from desktop and phone (I need browsers on both desktop and phone that cooperate, so if you kill desktop Edge for me that automatically kills Android Edge too). I was very nervous over the last few days wailing for desktop Firefox 89 to drop today after reading the promo stiff about the new 'Proton' design simplifying the UI and removing unnecessary clutter in case Mozilla, like Google with Chrome and then you with Edge, decided that it was OK to kill the features for the minority of users who have more complex needs to simplify it for the mass of average users - most of whom I'm sure use no extensions or just one or two. I shouldn't have been worried: all features for easily accessing lots of extensions intact in Firefox 89. In fact while Mozilla have sometimes added things I have no use for, and occasionally surprised me with new features I'd never thought of but are cool, they've never actually crippled or killed parts of the UI I depend on. So, if you are determined to kill Edge for me and drop yourselves out of consideration as a browser to move to from Firefox, I'm still cool with Firefox and I'll just uninstall the Edges. Drop the More... extension overflow area from Stable when there's no good alternative in Canary and Dev, and I'll just be off.

Something is broken on the bar with the extensions, icons badges get truncated as you can see in the image below. I reported it as bug, it's new in this build.

Any plans to have immersive reader and translation work together. I swear that they did in earlier new Edge builds but for a while now, enabling reading on a translated page returns to the original language and reader view doesn't offer translation.

josh_bodner Ever since this release, pages keep crashing with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, especially my workplace dashboard. Have filed feedback.

So the Math Solver doesn't work in my browser, I am using MS Edge version 92.0.902.62 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Home 21H1.
When I select the Math Solver from the menu I just get a grey side-panel with no functions. I have tried turning on the Math Solver flag, doesn't help.
As far as I know it should be working in both beta and canary.

josh_bodner I'm testing Edge Linux in WSLg and from this release onwards wheel scroll doesn't work when using wayland in Microsoft Edge. Release 92.0.891.1 is the last one where wheel scroll works for me.

This is how I launch wayland Edge in my Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 distro:
microsoft-edge-dev --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

RE: "Web Capture that save captures into Collections". The official Microsoft Edge page (https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-next) says that the feature is already “launched” in v91 stable on May27. According to this forum page, the feature is added in Dev v92 on Jun01. Still this feature is nowhere to be found in Edge stable91, beta91, Dev92 or canary93 as of Jun03. When is the feature truly gonna roll out? Can someone explain the inconsistent info?

In the latest build, a cosmetic bug appeared in the Extension area, see screenshot above.
Certain extensions, which have indicators showing the state of the extension via their icon, have icons which are not completely rendered.

  tbinmyarea do you have the flag enabled to use tabs in PWAs, by chance? That's a flag we got from Chromium and isn't really one we support ourselves, so it's not surprising that it's causing issues.

Honestly, while I like the way Vivaldi handles multiple extensions by showing or hiding them in the bar with a single toggle, I cannot understand why the grief on the extension menu, it's actually quite handy if you have many extensions, and the menu is working, it shows the extension with their badges (though also truncated in this build) and all extensions are clickable, they work as good as if there left of the address bar. Am I missing something?

The rollout of the new extension menu - ROFLMAO. Way to listen to feedback MS...If you release this feature in beta and stable - I'm ditching Edge altogether. A simple solution on implementing a flag to disable this feature to make everyone happy and you can't do it? I'd rather use Google Chrome then if you are going to ignore feedback.
