Microsoft has released the latest version of its Chromium-based web browser. Edge 86 is packed with not only the usual series of bug fixes and performance improvements, but also a host of new features.
This version of the browser sees the arrival of secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS) support, as well as numerous improvements in PDF handling. Table of contents support aids document navigation, while pen support for highlighting and enhancing scrolling will be welcomed by many. Other improvements and additions include testing the site in Internet Explorer mode.
One area of the browser that sees a major change is the Downloads section. Now, to make it easier to manage more download-related options without leaving Edge, you can delete downloaded files from the download manager. To take advantage of this option, simply visit the download shelf or the download page, right-click and select the Delete file option from the context menu.
Administrators have access to a number of new options and features in Edge 86, including the ability to enable syncing for Azure Active Directory accounts by default. Administrators can now also roll back to a previous version of Edge more easily.
Another useful option is the ability to force load a site in Internet Explorer mode for testing purposes, something administrators, developers, and end users will benefit from.
In Edge 86, Microsoft has made numerous enhancements related to PDF. In addition to support for tables of contents for easier navigation, support for PDF files on devices with small screens has also been improved. Other changes include pen support for highlighting PDF files and smoother file scrolling.
Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users can now enjoy the benefits of automatic profile switching, which until now has only been available to Windows 10 users.
To get the latest update, click the … menu and go to Settings before clicking About Microsoft Edge; restart the program when prompted. More information about the browser is available here.
