Hi everyone, just a quick note to say that we deployed a new build 78.0.268.3 to the Dev channel today for Windows only. This corrects an issue with our digital signature that prevented Microsoft Edge from working on Windows 10 S and caused some people to see an "unverified publisher" or similar message. There are no other changes in this update.
Thanks! -David

@josh_bodner The media player button introduced a few updates ago has been missing from my bar for a week or so. Has it been removed or is this a bug?

Synchronization doesn't work. Displays only: "Connection to the synchronization server cannot be established. Re-trial is in progress...".

Thanks for the update!
I have an issue since like 3 weeks, Discord server icons appear now as squares instead of their original shape. Seems like there's an issue with the <meta> tag rendering. No problem on other browsers.

@MarsMas Glad there's already a bug report.
Within 12 hours of using this build, already 2 sites have vertically flipped text (Google Sheets & OneDrive). Ironically, taking a screenshot fixes the bug.
Likewise, it's not limited just to the dino page, FWIW, but any webpage seemingly.
I've submitted this issue as well via the Smiley.

Sync works for me for both work and school accounts on Dev and Canary.
However, the new policy seems to do nothing as far as enabling history sync goes.
I believe the new one is called "Enable history data to sync across a user's devices...". Enabling it does nothing for me, history remains greyed out.

@josh_bodner when I open wego.here.com the maps render fine, if I go to another tab then back the whole map just FLIPS, try it and see for yourself, very weird bug.

@markyyy999 Mine didn't update but everything seems to work fine. It just when I first start it up I have to give it web cam aproval,like EVERY time.

@fgondorf that's expected, history sync itself isn't available yet. The policy was just allowing it once we have it.

@uptightgnome we moved it behind a feature flag while the feature is still in progress. You can enable it here: edge://flags/#global-media-controls.

@markyyy999 Yeah, I just reproduced that. Super weird.

Anybody had their Edge profile icon reset repeatedly on this build? Every day, on both of my machines running this build and did not have this bug prior to this build, the profile icon is reset back to my Microsoft account every day.
I set it back to one of Edge's built-in icons, this profile picture lasts for a few hours, and then it's back to the Microsoft account image.
I wonder if this is a syncing bug, somehow.

Have you checked out the new update to 78.0.268.1? I think you will be happy with the results. They upgraded on a lot of the prior issues and the performance. Also, read up on everything that was accomplished.

@PhillyTom Oh, gosh, haha, thank you, Tom.
Yes: that "bug" was fixed a few builds ago, actually. My apologies for not following up in this thread. Now, if you sign in with a Microsoft account, you cannot customize your avatar within Edge: it just goes to the Microsoft account page, where it should be.
I'm on 79.0.294.1 at the moment and it's much better. A few lingering bugs, but it's definitely much better than the 78 branch was for me, personally.
