We are pleased to announce the security review for Microsoft Edge, version 126!

 

We have reviewed the new settings in Microsoft Edge version 126 and determined that there are no additional security settings that require enforcement. The Microsoft Edge version 117 security baseline continues to be our recommended configuration which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit.

 

Microsoft Edge version 126 introduced 2 new computer settings and 2 new user settings. We have included a spreadsheet listing the new settings in the release to make it easier for you to find them.

 

One thing to note with this release we have added configurable settings for Copilot. Something to consider based on your organizations policy

 

As a friendly reminder, all available settings for Microsoft Edge are documented here, and all available settings for Microsoft Edge Update are documented here.

 

Please continue to give us feedback through the Security Baselines Discussion site or this post.

    When will Edge 126 be certified to use WebUSB ?   Most recent searches only show Edge 126 as compatible.  Need to use an Android Flash utility that requires WebUSB.   Only other choice here is to install 'Google' Chrome on my computer in order to run it. Bad enough to see the conflicting popups for Chrome and Edge when I only use Edge...  .  

    Ideas?
