Serious Discussion Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download

You shouldn't disable IPV6 as it's more and more.
In the future disabling it will break websites and i'm sure you doesn't remember then your change

? I believe I would remember it, it's a significant change plus, it's one I've done before.

Thanks anyway. The IPv6 test is interesting. You scored 10/10? Assuredly I flunked it. Time to do more checking....

In Edge I use Lastpass, UBO and Trafficlight and am thinking I may ditch Trafficlight. I don't believe in over-armoring your browsers.

Edge is not clearing cookies and site data on exit even though I have set to 'clear on exit'.

Anyone else experiencing this?

It seems to be working fine at least for me.

Automatic cache cleaning works for me.
But i disable that now as Edge start is slower as a lot of Cache files are created then at startup.

 

[oldschool]

I resolved this by running installer over the top and then cleared cookies manually again. Why is Edge so buggy?

 

[Moonhorse]

I have the same problem , ive tried starting it up after using it for while and everytime i restart it has different amount of cookies to be removed on startup even i remove them all on exit

Also i had this problem occurring 2 days ago

:\Temp>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

and another note; They have removed :/flag wich reduced disk usage

Security baseline for Microsoft Edge version 87​

We have reviewed the new settings in Microsoft Edge version 87 and determined that there are no additional security settings that require enforcement. The settings from the Microsoft Edge version 85 package continue to be our recommended baseline. That baseline package can be downloaded from the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit.



Microsoft Edge version 87 introduced 15 new computer settings, 15 new user settings, and removed 1 setting. We have attached a spreadsheet listing the new settings to make it easier for you to find them.

As a friendly reminder, all available settings for Microsoft Edge are documented here, and all available settings for Microsoft Edge Update are documented here.

Microsoft Edge is getting a new feature that is missing from most browsers:

At its Build conference in May, Microsoft announced that a new sidebar search experience will be coming to its Edge browser later this year.

As expected, the new sidebar search feature is now rolling out to Microsoft Edge in the stable channel (production build). In Microsoft Edge version 87.0.664.5 or newer, you can now access a new sidebar that lets you select text on a web page and perform a Bing search within the browser tab.
