Introducing Project Robin | New Feature
this one is a new flag you can enable: edge://flags/#edge-robin Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.852.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) I think, Project Robin is a way to show Windows Defender Application Guard windows as tabs, next to other regular tabs. because right now, when you open a new WDAG window, it has its own protected window, backed up by Windows Defender engine. this Project Robin might be a way to bring the 2 environments together in the same window. so far the feature doesn't seem to be fully implemented yet. when I try it, it takes me to https://dev.browse.trafficmanager.net/?header=0&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F&escape=newdomain&titlePrefix=0 and then nothing. it's exciting, waiting for future versions to see more changes.Alt + Tab experience can now be turned off from the browser using this newly added flag
This flag that was just added today to Edge Version 89.0.736.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) edge://flags/#edge-window-tab-manager can disable Alt + Tab experience the description says: "Allows Windows to show open Microsoft Edge tabs in OS experiences like Alt + Tab, pinned sites, and more. – Windows" so regardless of what your settings are in Windows you can stop Edge tabs to appear as separate windows in Alt + Tab view.Microsoft Edge has got a new feature to magnify images on the web
This feature allows you to right-click on any image on the web and select an option to magnify it. The image will be opened in full size and its Alt text will be displayed under it. I personally like this feature because before this i would right-click on the image and open it in a new tab. To try out this new feature simply head to this release page in my GitHub repository, install Edge Canary channel and then follow the instructions in there: https://github.com/HotCakeX/MSEdgeFeatures/releases/tag/120.0.2198.0 Video demo: https://youtu.be/N3L6QwdIaPMGreat new features: Tabs Groups Auto create - Tab Groups collapse - Tab Groups Freeze
Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.722.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) has added 2 new features to Tab Groups and improved the previous ones. you need to enable them using flags (edge://flags/) Watch this demo video I just recorded to see how they perform: https://streamable.com/oxtieq * you can drag a group of tabs and drop them on another window. ** Tab groups on vertical tabs has minor visual issues. see belowNew Feature: CORS for extension content scripts | Manifest V3 next phase
It's behind a flag: edge://flags/#cors-for-content-scripts CORS for content scripts Prevent content scripts of Extensions from bypassing CORS. – Mac, Windows #cors-for-content-scripts Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.477.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Overview When web pages request cross-origin data with fetch or XHR APIs, the response is denied unless CORS headers allow it. In contrast, extension content scripts have traditionally been able to fetch cross-origin data from any origins listed in their extension's permissions, regardless of the origin that the content script is running within. As part of a broader Extension Manifest V3 effort to improve extension security, privacy, and performance, these cross-origin requests in content scripts will soon be disallowed. Instead, content scripts will be subject to the same request rules as the page they are running within. Extension pages, such as background pages, popups, or options pages, are unaffected by this change and will continue to be allowed to bypass CORS for cross-origin requests as they do today. https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/extension-content-script-fetchesEdgePhoto | New feature introduced in Microsoft Edge canary version 116.0.1934.0
