Microsoft has released a new weekly feature update for its browser in the Dev channel. Unlike the latest Beta release, Edge Dev 106.0.1349.1 adds a couple of notable changes and new capabilities. With the latest update, Edge Dev users can add nicknames for their passwords and filter browsing history by date on the History page.
