Fixes

• Policy updates to allow wildcards. The documentation for the following policies were inaccurate and were corrected. These policies support wildcards (*) in URL patterns when being configured: ImagesAllowedForUrls, ImagesBlockedForUrls, InsecureContentAllowedForUrls, InsecureContentBlockedForUrls, PopupsAllowedForUrls, PopupsBlockedForUrls.

Feature updates

• Update to Microsoft Edge supported operating systems. The minimum supported macOS version is increased to macOS 11. Users on older versions of macOS will no longer receive Microsoft Edge updates. For more information, see Microsoft Edge Supported Operating Systems.
• Deprecation of the CryptoWallet feature. To improve end user experience, the CryptoWallet feature and the CryptoWalletEnabled policy is deprecated. The CryptoWalletEnabled policy will be obsolete in an upcoming release.

Site compatibilty impacting changes

• Deprecation of non-standard declarative shadow DOM serialization. The prototype implementation, which shipped in 2020 and then updated in 2023, contained a method called getInnerHTML() that could be used to serialize DOM trees containing shadow roots. That part of the prototype was not standardized with the rest of the declarative shadow DOM, and has only recently reached spec consensus (for details, see Github. As part of that consensus, the shape of the getInnerHTML API changed.
• Deprecate the includeShadowRoots argument on DOMParser. The includeShadowRoots argument was a never-standardized argument to the DOMParser.parseFromString() function, which was there to allow imperative parsing of HTML content that contains declarative shadow DOM. This was shipped as part of the initial shipment of declarative shadow DOM. Since the standards discussion rematerialized in 2023, the shape of DSD APIs changed, including this feature for imperative parsing. Now that a standardized version of this API, in the form of setHTMLUnsafe() and parseHTMLUnsafe() shipped, the non-standard includeShadowRoots argument needs to be deprecated and removed. All usage should shift accordingly: Instead of: (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(html,'text/html',{includeShadowRoots: true}); This can be used instead: document.parseHTMLUnsafe(html);
• Rename inset-area to position-area. The CSS working group (CSSWG) resolved to rename this property from inset-area to position-area. For more details, see the CSSWG discussion in Github. The old and new property names will be supported for a few milestones, to help developers migrate to the new position-area name. We are shipping the new property name, position-area, as a synonym for inset-area. The inset-area property is currently planned for removal in Microsoft Edge version 131.

Policy updates New policies

• PrintingLPACSandboxEnabled - Enable Printing LPAC Sandbox

Deprecated policies

• CryptoWalletEnabled - Enable CryptoWallet feature (deprecated)

EnhanceSecurityModeOptOutUXEnabled - Manage opt-out user experience for Enhanced Security Mode (ESM) in Microsoft Edge (deprecated)

Version 129.0.2792.65: September 26, 2024

Fixed various bugs and performance issues, and feature updates.

Stable channel security updates are listed here.

Feature updates

• Microsoft Edge sidebar updates. For inactive sidebar users and new Edge users, the sidebar is turned OFF. Users can always return to Settings > Sidebar and turn the sidebar ON again at any time. For active sidebar users, the current sidebar state stays the same.

Administrators can control the availability of the sidebar using the HubsSidebarEnabled policy.

Note:

For the Stable Channel, updates will roll out progressively over one or more days. To learn more, see Progressive rollouts for Microsoft Edge updates.

Microsoft Edge Web Platform constantly evolves to improve user experience, security, and privacy. To learn more, see Site compatibility-impacting changes coming to Microsoft Edge.

NEXT -->Version 130.0.2849.46: October 17, 2024

Fixed various bugs and performance issues, Dev channel updates, announcements, feature updates, site compatibility impacting changes, and policy updates.

Note

Portions of this release note are modifications based on work created and shared by Chromium.org and used according to terms described in the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Stable channel security updates are listed here. Dev Channel updates The following Dev channel updates preceded this Stable channel release. The following Dev notes provide detailed information about the changes in each release.

• Dev Channel update to 130.0.2808.0 is live. - Microsoft Community Hub
• Dev Channel update to 130.0.2821.1 is live. - Microsoft Community Hub
• Dev Channel update to 130.0.2835.2 is live. - Microsoft Community Hub
• Dev Channel update to 130.0.2849.1 is live. - Microsoft Community Hub

Fixes

• Fixed an issue that prevented the briefcase icon from appearing on the edge://settings/sidebar page when Edge Bar was disabled using the StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled policy.
• Fixed an issue that caused rendering issues on some SharePoint sites.

Announcements

• Live Captions. The LiveCaptionsAllowed policy was available since Microsoft Edge version 103 but this feature isn't generally available. Clients that have the ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl policy set to 'FullMode' might receive the feature before broad availability. Broad availability will be announced via Microsoft Edge release notes.
• Cancel dialog for beforeunload event. Microsoft Edge is changing the behavior of the cancel dialog for the beforeunload event in Microsoft Edge version 131. Starting in version 131, calling event.preventDefault in a beforeunload event handler won't prevent the dialog from being shown. Instead, event.returnValue = '' needs to be called in the beforeunload event handler to prevent the cancel dialog. The BeforeunloadEventCancelByPreventDefaultEnabled policy is being obsoleted and will no longer work after Microsoft Edge version 130.

Feature updates

• Token Binding. Token Binding uses cryptographic certificates on both ends of the TLS connection in an attempt to close the security gap of bearer tokens, which may be lost or stolen. Token Binding is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 130. Also, the AllowTokenBindingForUrls policy is now obsolete.
• Copilot browser Context Policies. The EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext policy will be available starting from Microsoft Edge version 130 and will replace the CopilotCDPPageContext policy. The CopilotCDPPageContext policy is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 130 and will be obsolete in Edge 133.
• Elevating top settings and improving settings page navigability. To make finding browser settings more efficient, Microsoft Edge is introducing three navigation improvements to Edge Settings. We aren’t changing the functionality of any setting, and all the settings stay on the same page as they are today but will be behind clickable sections. These changes are as follows.
  • Introduce quick access to the most used Settings actions on the first place users land when entering Edge Settings (the Profiles page). Clicking the button with the name of the setting navigates users directly to its location.
  • Make densely populated Settings pages (such as Privacy, search, and services, Appearance, Cookies and site permissions, System and performance) easier to navigate by introducing quick access to the most used actions located on that page. Clicking the button with the name of the setting takes users directly to its location.
  • For these densely populated pages, each lengthy section of settings will be a clickable "table of contents" with descriptive subtexts. This helps users locate settings directly and avoid unnecessary scrolling.
  Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
• Edge on macOS now seamlessly opens links in Teams. When Microsoft Edge is configured as the browser to open web links in Teams, then links in Teams chat will be opened through Edge, and Edge launches in the profile that matches with the authenticated profile, users can benefit from a seamless browsing experience that integrates their identity and user data across Microsoft apps. Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the "Choose Which Browser Opens Web Links" Microsoft 365 policy. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.

Site compatibility impacting changes

• Compression dictionary transport with shared Brotli and shared Zstandard. This feature adds support for using designated previous responses, as an external dictionary for content encoding compressing responses with Brotli or Zstandard. Enterprises might experience potential compatibility issues with enterprise network infrastructure that intercepts HTTPS traffic and is sensitive to unknown content encodings. The CompressionDictionaryTransportEnabled policy is available to turn off the compression dictionary transport feature.
• Keyboard focusable scroll containers. This feature improves accessibility by making scroll containers focusable using sequential focus navigation. Today, the tab key doesn't focus scrollers unless tabIndex is explicitly set to 0 or more. By making scrollers focusable by default, users without a mouse can now focus clipped content using tab and arrow keys. This behavior is enabled only if the scroller does not contain any keyboard-focusable children. This logic is necessary so there are no regressions for existing focusable elements that might exist within a scroller like a <textarea>. If more time is needed to adjust to this new feature, the KeyboardFocusableScrollersEnabled policy is available from Edge 128.
• Support non-special scheme URLs. Non-special scheme URLs are now supported, for example, git://example.com/path. Previously, the URL parser didn't support non-special URLs. The parser parses non-special URLs as if they had an opaque path, which is not aligned with the URL standard. Now, the URL parser parses non-special URLs correctly, following the URL standard. For more details, see http://bit.ly/url-non-special.

Policy updates New policies

• EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext - Control access to page content for Entra ID Profiles accessing Microsoft Copilot with Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) from the Microsoft Edge sidebar

Deprecated policies

• CopilotCDPPageContext - Control Copilot with Commercial Data Protection access to page context for Microsoft Entra ID profiles (deprecated)

Obsoleted policies

AllowTokenBindingForUrls - Configure the list of sites for which Microsoft Edge will attempt to establish a Token Binding with (obsolete)
