Microsoft Edge Dev 131 Launches With InPrivate Crash Fixes and Additional Improvements

Users enrolled in the Edge Insider program within the Dev Channel are now able to test a significant new update for Microsoft Edge. Version 131 has transitioned from the Canary Channel to the Dev Channel, bringing a host of fixes and enhancements for both desktop and mobile platforms.

The most noteworthy updates in this release include the introduction of a new menu button in the tab center for mobile users and a resolution for crashes that occurred when opening InPrivate tabs on iOS devices. Below is the complete changelog:

Added Features:

Improved Behavior:

• Addressed a critical issue that caused the browser to crash when initiating a new InPrivate tab from the app’s contextual menu or widget on iOS.

Changed Behavior:

• Fixed an issue where clicking links sometimes redirected users to the desktop browser instead of keeping them within Game Assist.
• Corrected a problem where the stamp feature would create incomplete graphics directly on the border of screenshots.

Mac Improvements:

• Resolved a problem that caused the browser to open without FRE, rendering it non-functional on Mac systems.

Android Enhancements:

• Corrected an issue where Talkback identified the ‘x’ button as ‘unlabeled’ in the ‘Notifications’ pane under the browser’s Account Menu on Android.
• Fixed a bug where the shopping UI remained visible on Android after being launched, even when the system’s return button was pressed.

iOS Updates:

• Resolved a problem involving the address bar disappearing in landscape mode on the New Tab Page (NTP) in iOS.
• Fixed misalignment issues for top site names on the ZIP page in iOS.
• Addressed an issue where Top sites icons displayed incorrectly when adding or removing them in split-screen mode on iOS.
