Microsoft Edge Dev 83.0.467.0 brings many functional improvements and fixes
Although Microsoft has temporarily suspended the update of the Microsoft Edge stable version channel, the beta version, developer preview version, and canary version are not affected.
As a new browser, Microsoft is currently maintaining rapid changes to bring new features to the browser, and the error rate will naturally increase while developing new features.
For example, in Microsoft’s latest version of Microsoft Edge Dev v83.0.467.0, a large number of known issues have been fixed and a lot of functions have been adjusted.
Added feature:
- Added the ability to resume a download from the Downloads management page.
