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

Yes it is worth it - I have Brave & Wolf as a backup & will continue to remove Edge as it reappears which is a simple task once first done, one of the best decisions this year :p

Only removing "game assistant" after updates; apart from that, leaving it sleeping in peace.

Talking about bugs, here's another one.
When I search something in settings, it doesn't appear on first search. But if I remove the text and type again, it finds it.
If I close the settings tab and then open it again to search, the same behavior repeats.
This has been happening since they changed the settings UI.

Version 138.0.3351.77: July 7, 2025
Fixed various bugs and performance issues and feature updates.

Fixes
  • Reverted a change that caused audio issues when playing videos with AAC audio on certain websites. This is planned to be a temporary mitigation, as the root cause is a bug in outdated versions of the HLS.js library used by websites. Affected site owners are encouraged to update to a newer version of HLS.js to ensure compatibility.
Feature Updates
  • Find on Page in Microsoft Edge for Business will soon be integrated with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. Microsoft Edge for Business is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat to Find on Page (CTRL+F). This feature seeks to help users more easily find relevant content and save time.

I had it, turned it on, restarted, and the setting disappeared. 🤔 I don't notice any difference in appearance. Maybe because it's related to OS settings?

It was about rounded corners. It wasn't a bad design, but I had an issue with it on the very left side of the screen. The left part was unclickable which caused some usability issue for me in some cases. Like when I right click on something to let's say copy the link and after copying my habit (which I only realized at that moment) is to click on the very left edge of the screen to get rid off the right-click menu. But with the rounder corners, the left edge was unclickable. It didn't do anything, didn't cancel the right-click menu. So, I turned it off a long time ago.
Check this video to understand what this rounder corner was even though the title of the video seems like does not represent the current situation anymore

Just updated Microsoft Edge to version 138.0.3351.95

Fixed various bugs, feature updates, and performance issues for Stable Channel.

Stable channel security updates are listed here.

Feature updates​

  • Microsoft Edge policies to manage Shadow IT. This feature restricts access to non-Microsoft Generative AI tools using Edge policies. Using the WebContentFilteringBlockedCategories policy, admins can restrict access to other LLMs (except Copilot Chat) along with all browsers (except Microsoft Edge). This helps admins address the shadow IT problem, which is the use of Gen AI tools without oversight of IT admins in the organization. Some of these Gen AI apps can cause data loss and don't comply with the organization's security policies.

Most of you know that Edge continues to support MV2 extensions, but here is the latest official notice as of 6/25/25.
The Microsoft Edge team will independently decide on MV3 migration timelines for Microsoft Edge extensions and share an update here. We continue to analyze the concerns raised by extension developers and explore the optimal path for the Microsoft Edge extensions ecosystem. Meanwhile, to plan the migration of your extension from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3, see Manifest timeline for the Chromium browser engine, above.

The Microsoft Edge team is currently in the process of updating this MV3 migration timeline.


TimeframeMicrosoft Partner Center changesMicrosoft Edge changes

Enterprises can allow Manifest V2 extensions to run on Microsoft Edge, by using enterprise policies.

Manifest V2 extensions will continue to be supported through Enterprise policies at least until the date in the Chromium Manifest V2 support timeline.
