Microsoft Edge Dev v89.0.771.0 version brings many improvements

by ·

Although the development version of Canary Channel is changing fast and will be updated every day, Microsoft will regularly release special versions with more new features and improvements.

For example, Microsoft today launched the Microsoft Edge Dev v89.0.767.0 version, which comes with many new features, known problem fixes, and functional improvements.

Of course, it will take a long, long time for these new features and improvements to reach the stable version, because Microsoft has to spend a lot of time testing based on stability considerations.
