Microsoft has released the latest version of its Edge web browser to the Stable Channel. The version number is 120.0.2210.61. This is a pretty minor release with a couple of admin-based features, some new policies, and some bug and security fixes.
Here is the changelog:
Version 120.0.2210.61: December 7, 2023
Fixed various bugs and performance issues.
Stable channel security updates are listed here.
Feature updates
- RendererAppContainer. For extra security benefits, the Windows native app container is enabled by default. Note: If Enterprise organizations identify a compatibility issue due to code injection from security software, they should follow up with the software publisher directly. Alternatively, they can use the RendererAppContainerEnabled policy to trade off the security benefits in Microsoft Edge with their other software.
- Updated SmartActionsBlockList policy. The SmartActionsBlockList policy is updated with new policy option mappings. Administrators can now configure the policy to control Smart actions like definitions on websites (smart_actions_website) or control Smart actions in pdfs and on websites (smart_actions).
Policy updates
New policies
- AutoDiscardSleepingTabsEnabled - Configure auto discard sleeping tabs
- AutomaticProfileSwitchingSiteList - Configure the automatic profile switching site list
- Edge3PSerpTelemetryEnabled - Edge 3P SERP Telemetry Enabled
- PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled - Enable post-quantum key agreement for TLS
- WebAppSettings - Web App management settings
