Refreshing the page corrects it, but still a bug.

I directly reported it to someone in touch with the Edge team.

Is that me or for anyone on the stable build F9 for entering into the Immersive reader, doesn't work?

F9 still works for me.

 

[amirr]

F9 still works for me.

I have a Razer keyboard, use it normally, without its Synapse software. Under F9 an M letter is assigned. I searched and it says The F9 key will initiate on-the-fly macro recording.
But anyway, it seems I have to get rid of its default function.

According to Statcounter, Microsoft Edge is now the second most popular desktop browser. In March 2022, Edge managed to overtake Apple's Safari and hit second place with a 9.65% market share (+0.05). Safari is third with 9.56% (-0.21%), and the almighty Chrome remains first with 67.29% (+2.4%).

1. Google Chrome: 67.29%
2. Microsoft Edge: 9.65%
3. Apple Safari: 9.56%
4. Mozilla Firefox: 7.57%
5. Opera: 2.81%

Things are different in the global market that combines mobile and desktop platforms. Google Chrome is still the king with an overwhelming share, and the mobile market grants Safari a comfortable second position, far from Microsoft Edge.

1. Google Chrome: 64.53% (+1.75)
2. Apple Safari: 18.84% (-0.46)
3. Microsoft Edge: 4.05% (-0.01)
4. Mozilla Firefox: 3.4% (-0.81)
5. Samsung Internet: 2.82% (+0.05)

Statcounter: Microsoft Edge is now the second most popular desktop browser

Statcounter published March 2022 report revealing that Microsoft Edge is now the second most popular browser. It managed to overtake Safari in the desktop market by reaching 9.61%.

That annoying extension layout bug is also fixed.

Stable channel security updates are listed here.

Feature updates

• Three-digit version number in the User-agent string. Microsoft Edge will now send a three-digit version number, such as Edg/100 in the User-Agent header. This may confuse scripts or server-side analytics that use a buggy parser to determine the User-Agent string version number. You can use the ForceMajorVersionToMinorPositionInUserAgent policy to control whether the User-Agent string major version should be frozen at 99. Also, the #force-major-version-to-minor flag is available in edge://flags to freeze the major version in the User-Agent string to 99.
• Streamlining Microsoft 365 Application Protocol Activations. Microsoft 365 Application Protocol Activations on trusted Microsoft cloud storage services will now launch certain Microsoft 365 applications directly, including SharePoint subdomains and Microsoft OneDrive URLs. You can use the policies AutoLaunchProtocolsComponentEnabled and AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins to enable the application protocol activation prompts if desired, and to define other applications and services where warnings are enabled or disabled.
• Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. Microsoft Edge will continue supporting more fine-grained protection by combating memory corruption vulnerabilities and by protecting indirect calls. Hardware-enforced stack protection is only supported by Windows 8 and later. For more information, see Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. This feature behavior can be controlled using the ShadowStackCrashRollbackBehavior policy.
• Preview PDF files in Microsoft Outlook and File Explorer. Users can view a PDF file in a lightweight and rich read-only preview. This feature is available for Outlook Desktop PDF attachments or for local PDF files using File Explorer.
• Open Digitally Signed PDF files. Digital signatures are used extensively to validate the authenticity of a document and changes made in a document. You can use the PDFSecureMode policy to enable digital signature validation for PDF files, directly from the browser, without the need for any add-ins.

I get begging pop-ups occasionally to revert all to Edge

Preview PDF files in Microsoft Outlook and File Explorer. Users can view a PDF file in a lightweight and rich read-only preview. This feature is available for Outlook Desktop PDF attachments or for local PDF files using File Explorer.

I can now preview PDF files in Microsoft Outlook, but I don't get thumbnails for PDFs in File Explorer.
Or do they mean something else?

I haven’t tried DoH for a bit on Edge. I flipped the switch and put in my NextDNS address and it automatically switches back to using my ISP. Even the preset ones so this. Is it currently broken?
