14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has shipped another Microsoft Edge update for the Dev channel, and while several important improvements are included, one of the first things you need to know is that this is the last release of the year.
Microsoft Edge Dev build 110.0.1556.0 seems to be focused on polishing the experience with the new sidebar, as the software giant says it has added new options to allow users to resize it. Furthermore, the sidebar now has a mute and unmute menu, while the apps running in it also support push notifications.
Microsoft says it has also corrected quite a lot of crashes, including some of which were related to the aforementioned sidebar.
In case the browser stopped responding and eventually crashed when playing the Surf game, that bug should be gone as well.
Here’s the full list of bug fixes – notice that Microsoft is also shipping a batch of improvements for Microsoft Edge on mobile devices as well:
- Fixed a crash when playing the Surf game.
