As on time with the Tuesday or Wednesday release schedule, a new Microsoft Edge Dev Channel update is here. This latest update is bumping Edge Dev up to version 90.0.803.0. Not much has changed, but it does enable new context menus for PDFs by default. Here’s a look at what you need to know.
First off, new features. Microsoft added the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts in the F12 Dev Tools. They also added support for showing the friendly name of a certificate when viewing its details in the Windows certificate viewer. In addition, you’ll find that this release enables support for the management policy to control Print Rasterization Mode from Chromium.
That explained, time for improved reliability and changed behaviors. Microsoft fixed an issue where using the Web Widget in Guest windows sometimes crashes the browser. They also fixed an issue where tabs sometimes are blank or frozen after being left alone for a while. Have a look below for everything else.
- Fixed a crash on launch.
- Fixed a crash when closing a tab.
- Fixed a crash when Sharing something.
- Fixed a crash when typing into the address bar.
- Fixed a crash when using speech recognition on Google websites.

- Fixed an issue where the management policy to configure Restore On Start Up URLs sometimes doesn’t work properly when configured as “recommended”.
- Removed the ability to pin a website to the Taskbar from the edge://apps context menu.
That’s all for this week, as the known issues are the same as they have been in the past. As a reminder, they include extensions not working on Linux, ad blocking extensions messing with YouTube, tabs crashing with an error, duplicated favorites, and wobbling when scrolling. There’s also the issue where the Kaspersky Internet suite extension might cause Gmail to fail to load.
