Every time when there is an update to edge, for instance there is one now from 88.0.705.50 then the Win10 firewall will ask again to authorise the access outgoing, that happens i think because the folder of the new version where Edge lives has changed, namely with the version number of the new version. so i had before \Microsoft\Edge\Application\88.0.705.50 and now it has just been installed to \Microsoft\Edge\Application\88.0.705.53 which means the firewall will soon request me to approve again as if it's a new program but it's just the new version.
Chrome updates a similar manner but this does not influence the firewall having to request this every single time. The executable file of chrome is within the /chrome and not within the folder with the release number. on edge instead, you have msedge.exe and also msedge.exe within each folder with the version number.
my shortcut is of course the version OUTSIDE the folder with the release number, it will still pop the firewall.
I have also created an issue in feedback up please upvote it https://aka.ms/AAaxwxo
is anyone experiencing it? i find it really annoying having to "allow" MS Edge every single time. cmon is MS on MS why this happens?

The firewall complaints because the path to the executable has changed, so for it, it is a new one. Hence needing a new rule. I presume you are running Canary?

thanks, yes i have realised that of course but:
1. why is it doing it?
2. why can't they fix it? Chrome updates the same and does not do this behaviour. I don't see why asking for firewall permissions every single time would be needed. surely if i said YES once i will still be ok with it no?
No canary, all normal "stable/release" versions here.
