Microsoft today released a new version of its Chromium-based Edge browser. It is a significant update to the Dev channel, as it comes with a number of new options. For example, the Web Widget is now customizable, and the Office viewer feature is now enabled by default.
Here's the list of new features.
What's new in Edge Dev 96.0.1028.0
- Added a shortcut button in Settings to personalize the Web Widget.
- Added a Setting on iOS to restore tabs on startup.
- Added the ability to swipe to close tabs on iOS.
- Features enabled by default:
- The ability to view downloaded Office files directly in the browser.
- The ability to edit payment card information prior to uploading it to Microsoft Pay.
- Management policies from Chromium that we have enabled support for:
