Edge has always been fast so I'm not sure if these flags made a noticeable difference. I don't perform technical testing. Mostly they improve security, privacy and put a stop to certain new 'features'.

Only flags?

Flags only. No policies.
Switches:

--enable-features="EnableCsrssLockdown,EncryptedClientHello,IsolateSandboxedIframes,RendererAppContainer" --no-pings

edge://flags/#test-third-party-cookie-phaseout

That new flag is annoying as hell with that notice.

Does it happen on every re-launch? I just enabled and it only showed on one tab.

Does it happen on every re-launch?

Yes, I have Edge blocked to be run in the background, so it shows every single time I re-launch, on every tab.

Wow, I just tested it and if I close it on first tab at launch it doesn't reappear on other tabs. BTW I don't allow it to run in the background either.

Interesting, must be caused by other settings, I also remove browser caches, cookies and such, maybe it is stored there. I had problems with extensions because I remove too much at close.

Nope. I do the same here.

Re-posting from another thread. Flags and policies are easy ways to increase browser security, even if only a little.

My current flag setup in Edge.

And one additional:

Bind cookies to their setting origin's scheme

edge://flags/#enable-standard-device-bound-session-credentials

Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) is a new feature that uses cryptography to limit the use of authentication cookies to the device that created them. This aims to protect Chrome users against malware that steals cookies and bypasses MFA. The second (DBSC) origin trial starts in Chrome 142 with new updates to prevent cookie theft.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.
I enabled the flag (standard) in Chrome.
Is this flag present in Edge?



P.S.

However, I prefer not to enable persistence.

Thanks for this! Did you choose "Standard" for this on Edge?

Yes it is. Here are the options for it on Edge.

That is no longer an option in the 142 Beta.
