Microsoft Edge 83



  1. Microsoft Edge is the best browser for shopping. Microsoft Edge is the only browser with built-in tools to help you save time and money when shopping online.
  2. Microsoft Edge Canary Version: 91.0.862.0 Release date: April 19, 2021 What's new: We’ve updated you to the latest build. Last edited by Brink; 12 Hours.
  3. To cap off this week, Microsoft pushed out build 83.0.461.1 for Edge Insiders in the Dev Channel. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus crisis, this update is coming a bit earlier than usual, and the.

In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. On the Security tab, click the Trusted Sites icon. Click Sites and then add these website addresses one at a time to the list: You can only add one address at a time and you must click Add after each one.

Microsoft has begun rolling out version 83 of the Chromium-based Edge browsers to users in the stable channel. This follows last month's release of version 81, as Microsoft decided to skip over version 82 as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

Version 83 includes a few major improvements, starting with the ability to sync extensions across devices and instances of the browser. Edge still doesn't support history or open tabs syncing, even though the options are visible in the settings page. Collections have also seen some improvements, with the ability to drag an item into a collection withou having to open it, plus the ability to add multiple items and tabs to a collection at once.

Edge can also now switch profiles dynamically, so if you're using a personal account and try to access a resource that required your work account, you'll be switched to the respective profile automatically. There have also been some improvements to Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to protect from websites that redirect you elsewhere. The Immersive Reader can now be used with selected content on a webpage, essentially making it possible to use the feature on any webpage, and it can now highlight adverbs in the Parts of Speech experience.

There are a handful of smaller updates, such as the ability to exempt certain website cookies from being cleared when the browser is closed, improvements to link correction in the address bar, and better messaging regarding insecure downloads that have been blocked. There are also some new policies that can be set, such as disabling the Edge surf game, as well as a single security update listed here.

One thing that's worth noting about this release is that Microsoft is rolling it out in stages, so not everyone will be getting it right away. This is done in order to make sure any last-minute issues are caught before a full rollout is finished, but for now, it will only affect Windows users. The update should make its way to everyone in a few days.

Remotely debug Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Devices

The Remote Tools for Microsoft Edge (Beta) app is now available in the Microsoft Store. Using this app, which extends the Windows Device Portal, you are able to connect from the instance of Microsoft Edge running on your development machine to a remote Windows 10 device, display a list of targets (all tabs in Microsoft Edge and PWAs open on the Windows 10 device), and use the DevTools on your development machine against a target running on the remote Windows 10 device.

New ways to access Settings

There are tons of settings for the DevTools that you are able to customize to make the DevTools look, feel, and work the way you need. In Microsoft Edge 83, accessing Settings in the DevTools is now much easier. Open Settings with the gear icon next to Console alerts and the main menu.

You are also able to open Settings from the Main Menu under More tools.

Chromium issue #1050855

New and improved infobars

Informational notification bars (infobars) in DevTools now have an improved look and more functionality. In Microsoft Edge 83, infobars are easier to read and provide buttons so you are able to take the relevant action right away.

Chromium issue #1056348

Navigate the Color Picker with your keyboard

The Color Picker is a GUI in the Elements panel for changing color and background-color declarations. In previous versions of Microsoft Edge, you were not able to navigate the Shades section of the Color Picker with the keyboard.

In Microsoft Edge 83, you are now able to use the keyboard to move the selector in the Shades section of the Color Picker.

Chromium issue #963183

Properties tab now populates after a page refresh

In Microsoft Edge 81 and earlier, the Properties tab in the Elements panel was broken by page refreshes. When you refreshed the page, the Properties tab did not populate the properties of the currently-selected element.

In Microsoft Edge 83, you are now able to display the properties of the currently-selected element after a page refresh in the Properties tab.

Chromium issue #1050999

Use the arrow keys to scroll in the Changes tool

The Changes tool tracks any changes you have made to CSS or JavaScript in the DevTools. You are able to use the Changes tool to quickly display all your changes and take those back to your editor/IDE.

To open the Changes tool, select Ctrl+Shift+P in the DevTools to open the Command Menu and type changes. choose and run the Show Changes command to open the Changes tool in the DevTools drawer.

When you have made a change to a minified file, the Changes tool enables you to scroll horizontally to display all of your minified code. Starting in Microsoft Edge 83, you may now scroll horizontally using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Chromium issue #963183

Announcements from the Chromium project

The following sections announce additional features available in Microsoft Edge 83 that were contributed to the open source Chromium project.

Emulate vision deficiencies

Open the Rendering tab and use the new Emulate vision deficiencies feature to get a better idea of how people with different types of vision deficiencies experience your site.

DevTools is able to emulate blurred vision and the following types of color vision deficiencies.

Color Vision DeficiencyDetails
ProtanopiaThe inability to perceive any red light.
DeuteranopiaThe inability to perceive any green light.
TritanopiaThe inability to perceive any blue light.
AchromatopsiaThe inability to perceive any color, except for shades of grey (extremely rare).

Less extreme versions of these color vision deficiencies exist, and in fact they are more common.
For example, protanomaly is a reduced sensitivity to red light (as opposed to protanopia, which is the complete inability to perceive red light). However, these -omaly vision deficiencies are not as clearly defined: every person with such a vision deficiency is different and may see things differently (being able to perceive more/less of the relevant colors).

By designing for the more extreme simulations in DevTools, your web apps are guaranteed to be accessible to people with protanomaly, deuteranomaly, tritanomaly, and achromatomaly as well.

Chromium issue #1003700

Emulate locales

Emulate locales by setting a location in Sensors > Location. Open the Command Menu and type Sensors to access the Sensors tab. After performing these actions, DevTools modifies the current default locale, affecting the following code.

  • Intl.* APIs, for example: new Intl.NumberFormat().resolvedOptions().locale
  • Other locale-aware JavaScript APIs such as String.prototype.localeCompare and *.prototype.toLocaleString, for example: 123_456..toLocaleString()
  • DOM APIs such as navigator.language and navigator.languages
  • The Accept-Language HTTP request header

Note

Updates to navigator.language and navigator.languages are not visible immediately, but only after the next navigation or page refresh. Changes to the Accept-Language HTTP header are only reflected for subsequent requests.

To try a demo, navigate to Locale-dependent code example.

Chromium issue #1051822

Cross-Origin Embedder Policy (COEP) debugging

The Network panel now provides Cross-Origin Embedder Policy debugging information.

The Status column now provides a quick explanation of why a request was blocked as well as a link to view the headers of that request for further debugging:

The Response Headers section of the Headers tab provides more guidance on how to resolve the issues:

Chromium issue #1051466

New icons for breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, and logpoints

The Sources panel has new icons for breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, and logpoints:

  • Breakpoints () are represented by red circles.
  • Conditional Breakpoints () are represented by half-red half-white circles.
  • Logpoints () are represented by red circles with Console icons.

The motivation for the new icons was to make the UI more consistent with other GUI debugging tools (which usually color breakpoints red) and to make it easier to distinguish between the 3 features at a glance.

Chromium issue #1041830

View network requests that set a specific cookie path

Use the new cookie-path filter keyword in the Network tool to focus on the network requests that set a specific cookie path.

Check out Filter requests by properties to discover more keywordslike cookie-path.

Dock to left from the Command Menu

Open the Command Menu and run the Dock to left command to move DevTools to the left of your viewport.

Note

The Dock to left feature has been available since Microsoft Edge 75, but it was previously only accessible from the Main Menu. The new feature in Microsoft Edge 83 is that you may now access this feature from the Command Menu.

Chromium issue #1011679

The Audits panel is now the Lighthouse panel

The DevTools team frequently got feedback from web developers that while it was possible to run Lighthouse from DevTools, when they tried it out they were not able to find the 'Lighthouse' panel, so the Audits panel is now the Lighthouse panel.

Microsoft Edge 83 Ie Mode

Note

The Lighthouse panel provides links to content hosted on third-party websites. Microsoft is not responsible for and has no control over the content of these sites and any data they may collect.

Delete all Local Overrides in a folder

After setting up Local Overrides you may hover on a directory, open the contextual menu (right-click), and choose the new Delete all overrides option to delete all Local Overrides in that folder.

Chromium issue #1016501

Updated Long tasks UI

A Long Task is JavaScript code that monopolizes the main thread for a long time, causing a web page to freeze.

You have been able to visualize Long Tasks in the Performance panel for a while now, but in Microsoft Edge 83 the Long Task visualization UI in the Performance panel has been updated. The Long Task portion of a task is now colored with a striped red background.

Chromium issue #1054447

Maskable icon support in the Manifest pane

Android Oreo introduced adaptive icons, which display app icons in a variety of shapes across different device models. Maskable icons are a new icon format that support adaptive icons, which enable you to ensure that your PWA icon looks good on devices that support the maskable icons standard.

Enable the new Show only the minimum safe area for maskable icons checkbox in the Manifest pane to check that your maskable icon looks good on Android Oreo devices.

Note

This feature launched in Microsoft Edge 81. The updates covered here in Microsoft Edge 83 were not covered in What's New In DevTools (Microsoft Edge 81).
