Dev channel update to 93.0.957.0 is live

[josh_bodner]

Hello Insiders!  Today we’re releasing build 93.0.957.0 to the Dev channel.  In enterprise news, we’ve got an overview of how to opt into Extended Stable starting in version 94:  https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/07/15/opt-in-extended-stable-release-cycle/.  And for our web devs, we’re excited to tell you about recent updates to Visual Studio Code that will make debugging easier:  https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/07/16/easier-debugging-developer-tools-in-visual-studio-cod....  As for what’s new in the product: 

Added features: 

• Added the ability to change the icon for PWAs or websites installed as apps when they’re installed. 
• Added management policies (administrative templates and documentation to come): 
  • Added a management policy to control if OneAuth Authentication is Enforced. 
  • Added a management policy to control Printing a Webpage Layout. 
  • Added a management policy to set an Autoplay Allowlist. 
  • Added a management policy to give or take away Feature Flag Overrides Control.  
  • Added a management policy on Mac to control if MAU is Enabled, which controls if updates occur through Microsoft AutoUpdate. 

Improved reliability: 

• Fixed an issue where the browser doesn’t open. 
• Fixed an issue on Linux where the browser doesn’t open. 
• Fixed a crash when typing into the address bar. 
• Fixed a crash when closing a window. 
• Fixed a crash when spellcheck is enabled. 
• Fixed a crash on startup when certain extensions are installed. 
• Fixed a crash when closing certain popups. 
• Fixed a crash when playing certain videos. 
• Fixed an issue where PWAs can’t be installed or repaired. 
• Fixed a crash on Mac when syncing Collections. 
• Fixed an issue where pressing F6 sometimes crashes the browser. 
• Fixed a hang when closing the browser. 
• Fixed an issue where the browser sometimes can’t be uninstalled and gives an error saying to close all windows and try again. 

Changed behavior: 

• Fixed an issue where certain videos don’t have any sound. 
• Fixed an issue where websites pinned to the Taskbar sometimes unexpectedly disappear. 
• Fixed an issue on Linux where the Password Settings page is blank. 
• Fixed an issue where certain AV1 or HEVC videos don’t play. 
• Fixed an issue on Linux where tabs sometimes disappear visually from the tab band. 
• Fixed an issue where the cookie exceptions list in the delete browsing data settings sometimes doesn’t remember changes. 
• Fixed an issue where the PDF viewer sometimes reports being on a different page than it actually is. 
• Fixed an issue where the button to set the Default browser in Settings doesn’t work. 
• Fixed an issue where the management policy to import browsing data sometimes misses data. 
• Fixed an issue where dragging an image into a Collection sometimes fails. 
• Fixed an issue where the arrow keys sometimes can’t be used to move the cursor when editing a text note in a Collection. 
• Fixed an issue where empty text notes sometimes crash the Collections pane. 
• Fixed an issue where the Collections pane sometimes doesn’t fully load. 
• Fixed an issue where profiles sometimes say Not Syncing when it’s not expected that there should be any message. 
• Fixed an issue where the site information popup sometimes doesn’t open properly. 
• Fixed an issue where the option to open a downloaded PDF in the system viewer doesn’t work. 
• Fixed an issue where password health and leak alerts sometimes don’t appear in Settings. 
• Fixed an issue where pages sometimes don’t get translated when it’s expected that they should be. 
• Fixed an issue where context menu options on certain popups don’t work. 
• Fixed an issue where deleting a profile sometimes unexpectedly opens a Kids Mode window. 
• Fixed an issue where autofill popups sometimes don’t appear if the text in the textbox has a misspelling that triggers the spellcheck popup. 
• Fixed an issue in WebView2 where files with certain names sometimes fail to download. 
• Fixed an issue in WebView2 where microphones sometimes can’t be used because permission requests are never shown. 
• Fixed an issue where PDFs that should have Information Protection applied to them don’t. 
• Fixed an issue where browser windows sometimes open unexpectedly if extensions are installed. 

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 those of you who use Stable, look for version 92 to be coming to it soon!

@jcursiolf Same problem here.

Fedora 34 / NVIDIA 465.31 / Edge Dev Only / X11 Wayland with Ozone On or Off

[#3]

I have a suggestion on Edge Right-click Context Menu,
Make it simple as latest Windows 11 context menu, by placing only icons for back, forward, refresh, print and save these are always common icons to remember.
Edge context menu already become big taller box make it smaller by using the windows 11 icon idea.
thank you.

I tried to edit my reply and couldn't. My GPU is an Intel HD Graphics.

[#6]

The Basis Of Application . . . . . .

[#7]

Confirmed.  I see the same giant black window border.

• Pop!_OS 21.04
• kernel 5.11.0-7620-generic #21~1626191760~21.04~55de9c3-Ubuntu SMP
• Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics
• Microsoft Edge Version 93.0.957.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

Great browser, very irritating to look at. 

[#8]

@dejan_008 we made a fix for this in this week's Dev, so hopefully it's working for you now!

[#9]

@jcursiolf if you haven't yet, can you or anybody else with these big black borders file feedback so we get a bug in our database for it?  

[#10]

Indeed - I just checked and it's working - Thanks @josh_bodner !

[#11]

@josh_bodner already done in the previous build. Will do once again, then.

[#12]

The password window is still blank, I tracked down the line of error and it looks like this property
this.props.prefs.credentialsEnableBreachDetection is not defined, so it can't access the value, execution stops and nothin gets loaded.

Please fix this issue.

[#13]

Yes, I would love to use the Dev version. I can't wait for this to be resolved. I bought a new M1 MacBook Air in early Feb of this year. Been wanting to try out the new macOS. I'm a long Windows user in my career. I use Edge and Chrome on the Mac. Safari is a GUI wasteland.

[#14]

As seems to be a pattern, we made another potential fix for it in this week's Dev! Unfortunately, we had to temporarily pull down the build.

[#15]

Waiting for the blank passwords page to be fixed, thanks

[#16]

I am on this version and the Passwords Page is finally no longer blank.
