New feature available in Microsoft Edge for Business. Announcing the launch of Edge for Business security connectors. Microsoft Edge for Business offers seamless, native integration with existing security solutions through Edge for Business connectors, enhancing device trust, reporting and data loss prevention capabilities. Admins can easily deploy, configure, and manage connectors through the Edge management service. Edge for Business supports a wide range of security providers, offering key controls and capabilities familiar to Admins. For more information, see Connectors Overview | Microsoft Learn.
Rework of Work Feed on Edge New Tab Page (NTP). The Work Feed experience, available on the New Tab Page (NTP) for Work Feed-eligible Commercial users with a Microsoft 365 subscription, will have changing and updated functionalities. These changes include renewed focus on productivity and M365 modules. Starting in mid-April 2025, users will have an updated My Feed experience rolling out on the enterprise new tab page. Users will no longer be able to view content and activity from their network, and instead will experience quick access to recently used M365 documents, recent SharePoint sites, upcoming Outlook events, M365 apps, and To-Do tasks.
New tab page policies continue to be enforced and not impacted by this updated Work Feed experience. For more information, see Microsoft Edge Enterprise new tab page and The 'Work feed' tab in Microsoft Edge.
Find your Edge profile in the toolbar. With multiple tabs open, the tab strip is valuable space for you to find the right tabs quickly. To increase visibility of tab titles, we have moved the Profile pill to the toolbar. It will also appear as a minimized icon only, without a text label, by default. Admins can use the ProfileTypeInProfileButtonEnabled policy to control whether the label for the work or school profile type is shown in the profile button. Update as of Microsoft Edge version 136.0.3240.45+: Companies with organization branding changes configured through the Edge management service will experience these Profile pill changes.
Change to Microsoft Edge updates alerting. Updates to Microsoft Edge appears as a badge on the Settings and more menu (ââ¦â on the menu bar).
Enhancements to performance, secure network, and edge updates. Microsoft is introducing two improvements to the Settings and more menu (ââ¦â on the menu bar). The first makes it easier to discover when a user can update their browser from the Settings and more menu. Second, browser essentials is being separated into two distinct experiences (Performance, Secure Network) - both available from the Settings and more menu. Note: These features are a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see these features, check back as we continue our rollout.
New Password Manager policy. The PasswordExportEnabled policy lets administrators control whether the Export Password button in edge://wallet/passwords is enabled. If the policy is disabled, the Export Password button is unavailable, preventing password exports.
HTTPS Policy Updates. The AutomaticHttpsDefault policy is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 136 and is planned to be obsoleted in Microsoft Edge version 139. The new policy to replace this is HttpsUpgradesEnabled which is available in Microsoft Edge version 136.
Secure Password Deployment in the Edge management service. The secure password deployment feature in the Edge management service enables admins to deploy encrypted shared passwords to a set of users, allowing them to log into websites seamlessly without ever seeing the actual passwords. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and enhances the organization's overall security posture. Note: This experience is in public preview and can be accessed by opting in to targeted release in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Elevating top settings and improving settings page navigability. To make finding browser settings more efficient, Microsoft Edge is introducing three navigation improvements to Edge Settings. We arenât changing the functionality of any setting, and all the settings stay on the same page as they're today but will be behind clickable sections. These changes are as follows.
Introduce quick access to the most used Settings actions on the first place users land when entering Edge Settings (the Profiles page). Clicking the button with the name of the setting navigates users directly to its location.
Make densely populated Settings pages (such as Privacy, search, and services, Appearance, Cookies and site permissions, System and performance) easier to navigate by introducing quick access to the most used actions located on that page. Clicking the button with the name of the setting takes users directly to its location.
For these densely populated pages, each lengthy section of settings will be a clickable "table of contents" with descriptive subtexts. This helps users locate settings directly and avoid unnecessary scrolling.
Extensions in Edge Settings. Enabling users to find extensions in Browser Settings (edge://settings) through addition of "Extensions" navigation menu and search functionalities across installed extensions. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
Monitoring in the Edge management service. The Edge management service offers an overview of insights about your managed Edge instances and suggests actions you can take. For out-of-date devices, you can easily schedule updates or notify users to update their browsers to avoid workflow interruptions.

Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Root certificate store update. Microsoft Edgeâs root store is provided by the Microsoft Trusted Root Program. A recent update makes certificates no longer trusted by default if they validate to the one of the listed Entrust root certificates and the certificateâs earliest Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) is dated after April 16, 2025 7:00:00 AM UTC. Enterprises running a website that uses an impacted certificate should acquire and deploy a new certificate not impacted by this change before that date. Alternatively, enterprises can override the constraint by installing the applicable root certificate as a locally trusted root with the operating system; enterprises pursuing this option should carefully evaluate the risk of doing so.
Microsoft Search experience in the Microsoft Edge address bar. After March 31, 2025, the Microsoft Edge for Business address bar sends users to work results on M365.cloud.microsoft rather than Bing.com. Users of the address bar can continue to find work-related documents, bookmarks, and people in suggested resultsâclicking on these suggestions takes users to work results on M365.cloud.microsoft. Users can also type "work" in the address bar, hit the tab key, then type in their work-related query to get work results on a M365.cloud.microsoft page. Work search results continue to include documents, people, and bookmarks. For more information, see Guidance for retiring Microsoft Search in Bing for your organization. Note: Microsoft Edge version 134.0.3134.51+ is required
Rework of Work Feed on Edge New Tab Page (NTP). The Work Feed experience, available on the New Tab Page (NTP) for Work Feed-eligible Commercial users with a Microsoft 365 subscription, will have changing and updated functionalities. These changes include renewed focus on productivity and M365 modules. Starting in mid April 2025, users will have an updated My Feed experience on the enterprise new tab page. Users will no longer be able to view content and activity from their network, and instead will experience quick access to recently used M365 documents, recent SharePoint sites, upcoming Outlook events, M365 apps, and To-Do tasks.
New tab page policies continue to be enforced and not impacted by this updated Work Feed experience. For more information, see Microsoft Edge Enterprise new tab page and The 'Work feed' tab in Microsoft Edge. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout with flighting starting in early April 2025. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
Feature Usage Data Sync. Edge Sync, which enables users to synchronize their Edge user data across multiple devices, is now launching a new sync data category called Feature Usage. This new category allows users to synchronize data regarding their utilization of Edge features across all their devices.
New Tab Page trending suggestions in address bar. On the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page, Microsoft Bing trending suggestions appear in the address bar dropdown when users select the address bar. Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the AddressBarTrendingSuggestEnabled policy.
Authorized group setting in Microsoft Edge for Business. The authorized group setting ensures that Edge respects the settings for âPrinter groupsâ, âRemovable USB device groupsâ, and âNetwork share groupsâ in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. This change prevents users from bypassing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) protections by using Edge, thereby enhancing security and compliance.

Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Removal of âAdd accountâ option in Profile menu for Entra ID users. The option to add a linked personal account directly from Edge is no longer available in the Edge profile menu. The LinkedAccountEnabled policy is also obsolete in Microsoft Edge version 134.
Microsoft Search in Bing deprecation and policy updates. Microsoft Search in Bing, the work search experience available on Bing.com, will be retired, such that the last day of availability is on March 31, 2025. The AddressBarMicrosoftSearchInBingProviderEnabled policy, used to configure Microsoft Search in Bing results in the Edge for Business address bar, will be deprecated and obsoleted (nonfunctional) in a future Microsoft Edge version. The new policy to replace this is AddressBarWorkSearchResultsEnabled which is available in Microsoft Edge version 134.
Edge on macOS now seamlessly opens links in Teams. When Microsoft Edge is configured as the browser to open web links in Teams, then links in Teams chat will be opened through Edge, and Edge launches in the profile that matches with the authenticated profile, users can benefit from a seamless browsing experience that integrates their identity and user data across Microsoft apps. Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the "Choose Which Browser Opens Web Links" Microsoft 365 policy.
Scareware blocker policy. Scareware blocker in Microsoft Edge is your AI powered shield designed to protect you and your users from scareware attacks. Scareware blocker is currently in preview and admins can control availability to this feature using the ScarewareBlockerProtectionEnabled Policy. For more information, see Stand up to scareware with scareware blocker, now available in preview in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge Blog.
Edge Settings Improvements. Edge Settings is migrating to WebUI2 to boost page responsiveness and introducing a series of minor visual and content upgrades to improve overall usability and utility. This includes optimizing for concise wording of individual settings, simplifying the number of pages and reorganizing content, and creating a cohesive user interface. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.

Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Extending support for viewing MIP Protected PDF Files to different sovereignties (including GCCH). Sovereign cloud customers (including GCCH) are able to open MIP protected PDF content in Microsoft Edge. This change is available in the Microsoft Edge built-in PDF reader powered by Adobe Acrobat and the legacy Microsoft Edge PDF engine.
Non-special scheme URL handling. Nonspecial scheme URL handling is updated to become compliant with the URL Standard (https://url.spec.whatwg.org/). This change has site compatibility impacts which might require changes to your web sites. For more information and web developer guidance, see http://bit.ly/url-non-special.
Deprecate textprediction attribute. Removes support for the textprediction HTML attribute, which is a nonstandard attribute that's used to enable or disable the browser-based Text Prediction feature for long-form text inputs. Instead, use the standardized writingsuggestions attribute, which functions similarly to textprediction, but also applies to other writing-assistance features that browsers may provide. Sites that explicitly set textprediction to true or false can instead set writingsuggestions to the same value. For more information, see Writing suggestions in the HTML specification.
Scareware blocker. Scareware blocker in Microsoft Edge is your AI powered shield designed to protect you and your users from scareware attacks. Once enabled, scareware blocker uses machine learning (ML) to identify and block these scams, keeping you safe as you browse the web. For more information, see Stand up to scareware with scareware blocker. Note: This experience is in preview and users can opt in via Microsoft Edge Settings, under edge://settings/privacy, Scareware is located under âSecurityâ.
Remove policy used for legacy same site behavior. In Microsoft Edge version 80, we introduced the LegacySameSiteCookieBehaviorEnabledForDomainList policy to revert the SameSite behavior of cookies to legacy behavior on the specified domains. The LegacySameSiteCookieBehaviorEnabledForDomainList policy is obsolete in Microsoft Edge version 133.
Updated Downloads UI to Improve Performance. The Downloads UI is rewritten to improve performance. Customer-facing functionality and UX from previous releases remain the same.
Shopping Product Tracking. Track product prices easily with a new experience in the Edge Address Bar that appears on the product detail page. Users can track prices quickly and will be notified when there's a price drop on that product and save more. Administrators can control the availability of Shopping in Edge using the EdgeShoppingAssistantEnabled policy.

Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Intune policies in the Microsoft Edge management service. Admins now can set Intune policies via the Microsoft Edge management service, alongside the existing cloud policies. This ability lets admins deploy both browser policies in the cloud and Intune policies from a single pane, making it easy to keep users safe and the browser workflow streamlined. This feature comes along with a new policy creation wizard that streamlines the creation process into a comprehensive, step-by-step flow. Note: This experience is in public preview and can be accessed by opting in to targeted release in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Version monitoring in the Edge management service. The Edge management service offers a single view of all managed Edge instances with their update status and possible actions to take. For out-of-date devices, you can easily schedule updates or notify users to update their browsers to avoid workflow interruptions. Note: This experience is in public preview and can be accessed by opting in to targeted release in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Shopping Product Tracking. Track product prices easily with a new experience in the Edge Address Bar that appears on the product detail page. Users can track prices quickly and are notified when there's a price drop on that product and save more. Administrators can control the availability of Shopping in Edge using the EdgeShoppingAssistantEnabled policy. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
New password manager policy. The DeletingUndecryptablePasswordsEnabled policy controls whether the built-in password manager can delete undecryptable passwords from its database. This policy is required to restore the full functionality of the built-in password manager, but it might cause permanent data loss. Undecryptable password values won't become decryptable on their own. If fixing them is possible, it usually requires complex user actions.
PromotionalTabsEnabled policy deprecation. The PromotionalTabsEnabled policy is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 132 and will be obsolete in a future Microsoft Edge version. Administrators can use the ShowRecommendationsEnabled policy instead.
Allow enterprise users to view XFA PDFs using IE Mode. Enterprise customers can view XFA PDFs in Microsoft Edge using IE mode through either the ViewXFAPDFInIEModeAllowedOrigins or ViewXFAPDFInIEModeAllowedFileHash policy. This change is available in the new PDF viewer on Microsoft Edge.
Deprecation of Microsoft Edge Support page. To improve end user experience, edge://support is being deprecated. The information found on edge://support is available on other pages: edge://version, edge://metrics-internals, edge://extensions, and edge://policy.
Full Favorites Bar available in Workspaces. Workspaces now display a user's full set of favorites in the Favorites Bar, with a dedicated workspace folder accessible from the bar. Previously when in a workspace, a user's existing Favorites Bar wasn't easily accessible and instead only the workspace favorites folder was visible. Users can control the behavior by modifying #edge-workspace-favorites-bar in edge://flags.
<select> element is enabledRemoval of old Headless from the Edge binary. Running Edge with --headless=old no longer launches the old Headless mode, and instead prints the following log message: Old Headless mode has been removed from the Chrome binary. Please use the new Headless mode or the chrome-headless-shell which is a standalone implementation of the old Headless mode.
CSS Anchor Positioning: allow anchor-size() in inset and margin properties. Originally, anchor-size() was only allowed in sizing properties. The specification now allows anchor-size() in insets and margins as well.
CSS sideways writing modes. Support of sideways-rl and sideways-lr keywords for the writing-mode CSS property. sideways-rl and sideways-lr are helpful to write non-CJK text vertically. They don't have behaviors favorable for CJK languages unlike vertical-rl and vertical-lr.
Dialog toggle events. This change incorporates the same ToggleEvent that popovers dispatch, but for <dialog> elements: when showModal or show is called, <dialog> dispatches a ToggleEvent with newState=open. When a <dialog> is closed (using the form, button, or close watcher) it should dispatch a ToggleEvent with newState=closed.
Previously, to detect when a <dialog> opens a mutation observer had to be registered to check for open.
Element Capture. Given a video MediaStreamTrack obtained through preexisting means to initiate tab-capture, Element Capture allows mutating the track to only capture a subtree of the DOM starting at a given Element.
The API bears some resemblance to the Region Capture API, but affords greater flexibility for applications, because occluding and occluded content are both excluded from the capture.
FedCM authorization features. This bundles a few features that Identity Providers (IdP) can use to implement authorization flows such as letting a user grant access to their calendar to a Relying Party (RP). Specifically:
FedCM Mode API and Use Other Account API. Two new extensions for FedCM:
active mode allows websites to call FedCM inside a button click (for example, selecting a Sign-in to IdP button), which requires FedCM to guarantee it always responds with a visible user interface. Calling the FedCM API in active mode takes users to sign in to the Identity Provider (IdP) when users are logged-out. Also, because the active mode is called within an explicit user gesture, the UI is also more prominent (for example, centered and modal) compared to the UI from the passive mode (which doesn't require a user gesture requirement and can be called on page load).Fetch: Request.bytes() and Response.bytes(). Add a bytes() method to the Request and Response interfaces, which returns a promise that resolves with a Uint8Array. While Request and Response have an arrayBuffer() method, itâs not possible to read directly from a buffer. A view such as a Uint8Array must be created to read it. The bytes() method improves the ergonomics of getting the body of Request and Response.
Ignore Strict-Transport-Security for localhost. Strict-Transport-Security (STS) response headers can cause problems for localhost web servers because STS applies host-wide, across all ports. This causes compatibility problems for web developers testing locally. It also affects end-users who use software packages that commonly start localhost web servers for ephemeral reasons. For example, communication of an auth token from a web sign-in to a local software package. If one local listener sets Strict-Transport-Security on a localhost response, it's applied to all subsequent localhost requests regardless of port.
Edge 132 resolves this problem by ignoring Strict-Transport-Security headers on responses from localhost URLs.
Keyboard focusable scroll containers. The rollout of this feature (from Edge 130) was stopped due to an accessibility regression. This issue is fixed and the feature continues to roll out with Microsoft Edge 132. KeyboardFocusableScrollersEnabled is the policy for this feature.
Private State Token API Permissions Policy default allowlist wildcard. Access to the Private State Token API is gated by Permissions Policy features. Edge 132 updates the default allowlist for both private-state-token-issuance and private-state-token-redemption features from self to * (wildcard).
PushMessageData::bytes(). The PushMessageData interface mimics the Body interface, which was amended earlier this year with a new bytes() method, following the principle that APIs should generally vend byte buffers as Uint8Arrays. Edge 132 realigns with the Body interface by providing the bytes() accessor on the PushMessageData interface as well.
Saved queries in sharedStorage.selectURL. sharedStorage.selectURL() now lets queries be saved and reused on a per-page basis. Two per-page-load budgets are charged the first time a saved query is run but not for subsequent runs of the saved query during the same page-load. This change is accomplished with a savedQuery parameter in the options for selectURL() that names the query.
Throw exception for popovers and dialogs in non-active documents. Previously calling showPopover() or showModal() on a popover or dialog that resides within an inactive document would silently fail. No exception was thrown, but since the document is inactive, no popover or dialog would be shown. As of Edge 132, these situations now throw InvalidStateError.
WebAuthn Signal API. Allows WebAuthn relying parties to signal information about existing credentials back to credential storage providers, so that incorrect or revoked credentials can be updated or removed from provider and system UI.
WebGPU: 32-bit float textures blending. The float32-blendable GPU feature makes GPU textures with formats r32float, rg32float, and rgba32float blendable.
WebGPU: Expose GPUAdapterInfo from GPU Device. The GPU Device adapterInfo attribute exposes the same GPUAdapterInfo as the GPUAdapter object.
WebGPU: Texture view usage. Adds an optional field to WebGPU texture view creation to request a subset of the usage flags from the source texture.
By default, texture view usage inherits from the source texture but there are view formats that can be incompatible with the full set of inherited usages. Adding a usage field to texture view creation allows the user request a subset of the source texture's usages that are valid with the view format and specific to their intended usage of the texture view.
WebGPU implementations can also optimize the creation of low level resources and improve performance when using views with more specialized usage flags.
New origin trials: Document-Isolation-Policy. The Document-Isolation-Policy lets a document enable crossOriginIsolation for itself, without having to deploy COOP or COEP, and regardless of the crossOriginIsolation status of the page. The policy is backed by process isolation. Additionally, the document non-CORS cross-origin subresources will either be loaded without credentials or will need to have a CORP header.
New origin trials: Explicit Compile Hints with Magic Comments. This feature lets you attach information about which functions should be eager parsed and compiled in JavaScript files. The information is encoded as magic comments.
navigator.storage no longer an EventTarget. navigator.storage was made an EventTarget for the Storage Pressure Event, which never made it past the prototype phase. This dead code is being removed and as a result, navigator.storage will no longer extend EventTarget.
Remove Prefixed HTMLVideoElement Fullscreen APIs. The prefixed HTMLVideoElement fullscreen APIs have been deprecated from Edge.
They were replaced by the Element.requestFullscreen() API. As of 2024, most browsers have had support for the unprefixed APIs for a few years now.
Edge 132 removes the following from HTMLVideoElement:
webkitSupportsFullscreen attribute.webkitDisplayingFullscreen attribute.webkitEnterFullscreen() method.webkitExitFullscreen() method. Note the different capitalization of the "S" in FullScreen.webkitEnterFullScreen() method.webkitExitFullScreen() method.These methods are now only aliases for the modern API. Their use has declined steadily over the years.

AnnouncementMicrosoft Edge WebView2 Runtime will no longer appear in the Installed Apps list in Windows Settings because it's a persistent system component.
Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Cancel dialog for beforeunload event. Microsoft Edge changed the behavior of the canceled dialog for the beforeunload event. Calling event.preventDefault in a beforeunload event handler won't prevent the dialog from being shown. Instead, event.returnValue = '' needs to be called in the beforeunload event handler to prevent the canceled dialog. The BeforeunloadEventCancelByPreventDefaultEnabled policy is obsolete and no longer works after Microsoft Edge version 130.
Changes to Kyber. The Kyber algorithm was standardized with minor technical changes and renamed to the Module Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM). ML-KEM is implemented in the BoringSSL cryptography library, which allows for it to be deployed and utilized by services that depend on this library.
The changes to the final version of ML-KEM make it incompatible with the previously deployed version of Kyber. Due to this incompatibility the following changes in Microsoft Edge will be made:
PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled flag and the PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled policy applies to Kyber and ML-KEM. Note: The PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled policy is scheduled for removal in Edge version 141.New sidebar policy. The EdgeSidebarAppUrlHostAllowList policy allows admins to define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that aren't subject to the EdgeSidebarAppUrlHostBlockList. When the policy is configured, the apps listed in the allowlist can be opened in sidebar even if they're listed in the blocklist. For more information, see Manage the sidebar in Microsoft Edge.
Support for Microsoft Purview Information Protection label for Office Online documents. Microsoft Edge for Business now natively supports enforcing data loss prevention (DLP) controls via Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents in Office online. This support closes the document protection gap in browser scenarios for commercial users. The following leak controls are now natively supported in the browser:
For more information about how to enable, see Protect Office documents with Microsoft Purview Information Protection labeling | Microsoft Learn.
Policy updates New policiesCSS Anchor Positioning: anchor-scope. The anchor-scope property allows limiting the visibility of anchor names to a given subtree.
CSS font-variant-emoji. The font-variant-emoji CSS property provides a way to control between colored (emoji-style) and monochromatic (text-style) emoji glyphs. This method can be also done by adding an emoji Variation Selector, specifically U+FE0E for text and U+FE0F for emoji, after each emoji codepoint.
CSS highlight inheritance. With CSS highlight inheritance, the CSS highlight pseudo-classes, such as ::selection and ::highlight, inherit their properties through the pseudo highlight chain, rather than the element chain. The result is a more intuitive model for inheritance of properties in highlights.
Improvements to styling structure of <details> and <summary> elements. Support more CSS styling for the structure of <details> and <summary> elements to allow these elements to be used in more cases where disclosure widgets or accordion widgets are built on the web. In particular, this change removes restrictions that prevented setting the display property on these elements, and adds a ::details-content pseudo-element to style the container for the part that expands and collapses.
@page margin boxes. Add support for page margin boxes, when printing a web document, or exporting it as PDF.
The @page margin boxes let you define the contents in the margin area of a page, for example to provide custom headers and footers, rather than using the built-in headers and footers generated by the browser.
A margin box is defined using an at-rule inside a CSS @page rule. The appearance and the contents of a margin box are specified with CSS properties inside the @page rule, including the content property. Counters are also supported, for page numbering. The specification defines two special counter names: page for the current page number and pages for the total number of pages.
@property support <string> syntax. Support for <string> syntax component name for registered custom properties.
Support currentcolor in relative color syntax. Allow relative colors in CSS (using the from keyword) to use currentcolor as a base. This support lets you set complementary colors, based on an element's text color, for that element's borders, shadows, or backgrounds.
This feature also includes use cases where color functions are nested with a dependency on currentcolor, for example: color-mix (in srgb, rgb(from currentcolor r g b), white)) or rgb(from rgb(from currentcolor 1 g b) b g r).
Support external SVG resources for clip-path, fill, stroke, and marker-* properties. This feature adds support for external references for clip paths, markers, and paint servers (for the fill and stroke properties). For example, clip-path: url("resources.svg#myPath").
Direct Sockets API. Allows Isolated Web Apps to establish direct transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) communications with network devices and systems as well as listen to and accept incoming connections.
Exempt Speculation-Rules header from CSP restrictions. Updates the integration between speculation rules and CSP so that CSP only applies to <script type=speculationrules>, and not to the Speculation-Rules header. CSP's script policies are meant to protect against injection of scripts into HTML, and the CSP threat model doesn't relate to HTTP headers. This approach allows easier deployment of speculation rules from CDNs and other edge servers.
FedCM as a trust signal for the Storage Access API. Reconciles the FedCM and Storage Access APIs by making a prior FedCM grant a valid reason to automatically approve a storage access request.
When a user grants permission to use their identity with a third-party identity provider (IdP) on a relying party (RP), many IdPs require third-party cookies to function correctly and securely. This proposal aims to satisfy that requirement in a private and secure manner by updating the Storage Access API (SAA) permission checks to not only accept the permission grant given by a storage access prompt, but also the permission grant given by a FedCM prompt.
A key property of this mechanism is limiting the grant to cases explicitly allowed by the RP with the FedCM permissions policy, enforcing a per-frame control for the RP and preventing passive surveillance by the IdP beyond the capabilities that FedCM already grants.
COOP value noopener-allow-popups. Some origins can contain different applications with different levels of security requirements. In those cases, it can be beneficial to prevent scripts running in one application from being able to open and script pages of another same-origin application.
In such cases, it can be beneficial for a document to ensure its opener can't script it, even if the opener document is a same-origin one. The noopener-allow-popups Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy value lets documents define that behavior.
Select parser relaxation. This change makes the HTML parser allow more tags in <select> besides <option>, <optgroup>, and <hr>.
This change is in support of the customizable <select> feature but is being shipped first because it can be done separately and has some compact risk.
WebGPU: Clip distances. Adds the optional GPU feature clip-distances that allows setting user-defined clip distances in vertex shader outputs. This technique is useful for the applications that need to clip all vertices in a scene that are beyond a user-defined plane, such as many CAD applications.
WebGPU: GPUCanvasContext getConfiguration(). Once GPUCanvasContext configure() is called with a configuration dictionary, the GPUCanvasContext getConfiguration() method can be used to check the canvas context configuration. It includes GPU device, format, usage, viewFormats, colorSpace, toneMapping, and alphaMode members. As discussed in issue 4828, web apps can use it to detect whether HDR canvas is supported in WebGPU.
WebHID on dedicated workers. Enables WebHID inside dedicated worker contexts. This lets the performance of heavy I/O and processing of data from a HID device on a separate thread, helping to reduce the performance impact on the main thread.
WebRTC RTCRtpEncodingParameters.scaleResolutionDownTo. An API that configures WebRTC encoders to scale input frames if they're greater than the specified maxWidth and maxHeight. This API is similar to scaleResolutionDownBy except that resolution constraints are expressed in absolute terms (for example, 640x360) as opposed to relative terms (for example, scale down by 2), avoiding race conditions related to changing input frame size on the fly.
Remove the CSS Anchor Positioning property inset-area. With the CSS Working Group resolution on renaming the inset-area property to position-area, this removal cleans up the implementation for a standards compliant feature.
Remove non-standard GPUAdapter requestAdapterInfo() method. The WebGPU Working Group decided it was impractical for requestAdapterInfo() to trigger a permission prompt so they removed that option and replaced it with the GPU Adapter info attribute so that web developers can get the same GPUAdapterInfo value synchronously.

Dev Channel updatesThe following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.
Fixed an issue that prevented the briefcase icon from appearing on the edge://settings/sidebar page when Edge Bar was disabled using the StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled policy.
Fixed an issue that caused rendering issues on some SharePoint sites.
Fixed an issue where a "Can't update Microsoft Edge" dialog was mistakenly shown for managed Windows devices.
Live Captions. The LiveCaptionsAllowed policy was available since Microsoft Edge version 103 but this feature isn't generally available. Clients that have the ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl policy set to 'FullMode' might receive the feature before broad availability. Broad availability is announced via Microsoft Edge release notes.
Cancel dialog for beforeunload event. Microsoft Edge is changing the behavior of the cancel dialog for the beforeunload event in Microsoft Edge version 131. Starting in version 131, calling event.preventDefault in a beforeunload event handler won't prevent the dialog from being shown. Instead, event.returnValue = '' needs to be called in the beforeunload event handler to prevent the canceled dialog. The BeforeunloadEventCancelByPreventDefaultEnabled policy is being obsoleted and will no longer work after Microsoft Edge version 130.
Token Binding. Token Binding uses cryptographic certificates on both ends of the TLS connection in an attempt to close the security gap of bearer tokens, which might be lost or stolen. Token Binding is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 130. Also, the AllowTokenBindingForUrls policy is now obsolete.
Copilot browser Context Policies. The EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy is available starting from Microsoft Edge version 130 and will replace the CopilotCDPPageContext policy. The CopilotCDPPageContext policy is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 130 and will be obsolete in Edge 133.
Elevating top settings and improving settings page navigability. To make finding browser settings more efficient, Microsoft Edge is introducing three navigation improvements to Edge Settings. We arenât changing the functionality of any setting, and all the settings stay on the same page as they are today but are behind clickable sections. These changes are as follows.
Introduce quick access to the most used Settings actions on the first place users land when entering Edge Settings (the Profiles page). Clicking the button with the name of the setting navigates users directly to its location.
Make densely populated Settings pages (such as Privacy, search, and services, Appearance, Cookies and site permissions, System and performance) easier to navigate by introducing quick access to the most used actions located on that page. Clicking the button with the name of the setting takes users directly to its location.
For these densely populated pages, each lengthy section of settings are a clickable "table of contents" with descriptive subtexts. This helps users locate settings directly and avoid unnecessary scrolling.
Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
Edge on macOS now seamlessly opens links in Teams. When Microsoft Edge is configured as the browser to open web links in Teams, then links in Teams chat will be opened through Edge, and Edge launches in the profile that matches with the authenticated profile, users can benefit from a seamless browsing experience that integrates their identity and user data across Microsoft apps. Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the "Choose Which Browser Opens Web Links" Microsoft 365 policy. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
Compression dictionary transport with shared Brotli and shared Zstandard. This feature adds support for using designated previous responses, as an external dictionary for content encoding compressing responses with Brotli or Zstandard.
Enterprises might experience potential compatibility issues with enterprise network infrastructure that intercepts HTTPS traffic and is sensitive to unknown content encodings. The CompressionDictionaryTransportEnabled policy is available to turn off the compression dictionary transport feature.
Keyboard focusable scroll containers. This feature improves accessibility by making scroll containers focusable using sequential focus navigation. Today, the tab key doesn't focus scrollers unless tabIndex is explicitly set to 0 or more.
By making scrollers focusable by default, users without a mouse can now focus clipped content using tab and arrow keys. This behavior is enabled only if the scroller doesn't contain any keyboard-focusable children. This logic is necessary so there are no regressions for existing focusable elements that might exist within a scroller like a <textarea>.
If more time is needed to adjust to this new feature, the KeyboardFocusableScrollersEnabled policy is available from Edge 128.
Support non-special scheme URLs. Non-special scheme URLs are now supported, for example, git://example.com/path. Previously, the URL parser didn't support non-special URLs. The parser parses non-special URLs as if they had an opaque path, which is not aligned with the URL standard. Now, the URL parser parses non-special URLs correctly, following the URL standard. For more details, see http://bit.ly/url-non-special.
