Microsoft Edge Dev version 76.0.172.0 (with Chromium)

Microsoft has released the weekly update of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge to the Dev channel bringing the in the 76.0.172.0 version.

The new update brings a number of important fixes, such as fixing one which causes Microsoft Edge to crash on startup.

Microsoft Edge

This vulnerability left the application in the Dev channel for a long time, as Microsoft discovered that the browser was not able to start on several devices after installing the update.

Today's update comes to resolve this particular issue .

Additionally, update 76.0.172.0 also fixes a second crash seen when viewing settings in InPrivate, as well as a bug that does not show the first boot screen if the user is not connected to the Internet.

New features of the application

First of all it should be mentioned that Microsoft changed the behavior of pinned websites when these pages are already open in the browser.

“Clicking on a pinned shortcut "will automatically select the tab that contains the shortcut site in case it is already open instead of opening a new tab each time," says Microsoft.

In other words, if a site is open on the Edge and you click on the icon of a pinned website on the same page, the new version of Edge will now show you its tab instead of opening a new tab.

Another news exists in the browsing history that now displays the full URL of a website when the mouse is hovered over the link.

You can read the full changelog for more information, but also download it new edition from the official website.
