Microsoft Released New Edge Insider Dev Build 77.0.223.0

Microsoft is releasing new updates for users who are running the developer channel of its new Microsoft Edge browser. Today, the company released the build 77.0.223.0 on all supported platforms, including many new functions and improvements.

What’s New in the Updated Build?

This update introduces a new setting to clear browsing data each time when the browser is closed. The new setting can be found under the browser’s Privacy and Services settings.

The updated build also enables the entire browser interface to use Windows system settings and colors to achieve high contrast. In this case, users who use high contrast in Windows can now get a consistent experience using Edge without having to set it in the browser manually again.

On Mac, the updated version now enables Microsoft Smart Screen to be built into browsers rather than to be an additional extension. This is a minor change to how functions are implemented. So you won’t find any differences in functionality.
