In the official blog, the Microsoft Browser Vulnerability Research team details a new flag for Microsoft Edge called "Super-Duper Secure Mode." It intends to improve Edge's security by disabling JIT (Just-in-Time) compilation in the V8 JavaScript engine. Microsoft says bugs in JavaScript inside modern browsers are the most common vector for attackers. According to CVE data from 2019, approximately 45% of attacks on V8 relate to JIT. Disabling that component makes Microsoft Edge more secure and harder to crack. Also, "Super-Duper Secure Mode" includes additional security measures and mitigations.

Several weeks ago, alongside the Windows 11 announcement, Microsoft revealed a brand-new Microsoft Store with a host of new policies. Updated rules in Microsoft Store now make it easier for third-party developers to publish their apps and get more money selling them.

Thanks to new rules, Google, Firefox, and other developers can distribute their browsers using Microsoft Store without violating TOS.
