We have reported its official release Google Chrome 100 a few days ago. The new version brought a new logo and several bug fixes.
So it's time for Microsoft to release the Edge with the same version number, but without an updated logo.
Microsoft Edge 100 came with some improvements in the way PDFs are handled. The new version also fixed some security holes in the μνήμη.
Microsoft lists five notable features in the release notes. The first, of course, is that the browser now uses a three-digit version number in the User-Agent. The company notes that this may cause the outage modeof certain websites. So added a new option to the internal edge://flags that freezes the major version number at 99 instead of 100.
Second, it mentions the opening of certain URLs for Microsoft 365 services, such as SharePoint and OneDrive, which will instantly launch applications to organizations that use Microsoft 365 Application Protocol Activations in trusted Microsoft cloud storage services. IT managers will now be able to use policies to control this behavior.
Another improvement that version 100 brings is the preservation of memory integrity by protecting indirect calls to it. This is a hardware-enforced stack protection patch available from Windows 8 onwards.
The Edge 100 also brings security updates for nine CVEs you can see here.
Τέλος, υπάρχουν δύο ενημερώσεις που σχετίζονται με τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης διαχειρίζεται τα αρχεία PDF, όπως είπαμε παραπάνω. Ο Edge 100 διαθέτει ένα ελαφρύ πρόγραμμα ανάγνωσης PDF για την προεπισκόπηση των αρχείων. Λειτουργεί με συνημμένα PDF στο Outlook desktop and local PDF files in File Explorer. You can also use a policy to enable digital signature validation on PDF files without using third-party applications.
There are also many policy updates. Anyone interested can find details about them at release notes.
Microsoft Edge should automatically update to version 100.0.1185.29. If it doesn't, you can manually enable it information making click in the menu with the three dots in the upper right corner. Then Help > About Microsoft Edge.
