This week"s feature update for Microsoft Edge in the Dev Channel is now live under version 128.0.2730.0. You will not find much inside it—only a small icon for autofill suggestions and a list of various reliability improvements and bug fixes. Also, there are patches for Android and iOS versions of Microsoft Edge Dev (the iOS version is closed-testing).
Here are the official release notes:
Added Features:
- Included an icon in the footer elements for autofill suggestions.
Improved Reliability:
- Resolved an issue when signing into an AAD account would cause a crash on Android.
- Resolved an issue where the browser crashes when playing YouTube videos after a restart.
Changed Behavior:
- Resolved an issue where the UI overlapped during AAD login and after a successful sync under favorites.
- Resolved an issue where the search button icon lacked sufficient contrast in high contrast mode.
- Resolved an issue where, upon opening the same group in browser, all tabs initially load, but a few tabs subsequently disappear.
- Fixed an issue where the buttons overlapped on screens with smaller resolutions, even when the browser was maximized.
- Mac: Resolved an issue where the FRE page was skipped, and the browser was unresponsive on Mac and Mac Arm platforms upon launch.
Android:
- Resolved an issue where the Sign-In page’s layout and color scheme were not consistent with other pages on android.
- Resolved an issue where the Immersive Translate panel was displayed in the middle of the screen on android.
