In addition to this work, there has been a ton of work on coming features including enterprise management and IE-mode. And of course, thanks to everybody for being an insider and sending us all of your great feedback and suggestions!
Any ETA when macOS users will be able to sample the forthcoming Grammar Tools?
Also, apparently, Microsoft Edge for macOS beta is too new for Microsoft Rewards to know about…
Earn more rewards with Microsoft Edge
Search with Bing in the Microsoft Edge browser on PC or mobile to put you ahead of the game. You'll soon reach Level 2 and earn up to 600 points a month.*Not if you are using the beta for macOS. 😐
Microsoft Rewards also don’t count when using Microsoft Academic to search either. ☹️
Elliot Kirk the build notes indicate "Direct launch for ClickOnce applications has been enabled."; however, I am testing on a more recent build 77.0.218.4 and am receiving the attached error when launching the .application file (note that the file is downloaded, not auto-run). Are there setting or other permissions required for ClickOnce? Thanks
Something strange, when i move an item to above few line in my Favorites Manager, all items disappear
Elliot Kirk as you released two updates last week, is there an update scheduled for this week?

Elliot Kirk love the updates and everything that has been done so far. Are there any plans to add the Hub button or is it already there and I just need to enable it somehow?
Seeing and message that "Sync has been turned off by your administrator" But we are not controlling any settings for Edge Elliot Kirk
- For the yellow icon and the omitting of http, http and www in URL, it's just a glitch when merging Chromium upstream source, and has already been fixed in Canary.

Can you please fix Netflix casting to chromecast? Two builds ago it worked fine, but ever since you updated it, it no longer casts correctly. If I play anything from Netflix on Chromecast all I get is a black screen on the remote screen.- love it
Elliot KirkGreat work on the updates. However, it seems that some extensions like LastPass are not working on the new build. I also tried EnPass and it doesn't appear to work either. Maybe something to look in to?
briancuster I would try removing and re-installing. I have no issues running LastPass or uBlock or other extensions.
