What is with recent Edge versions lacking notable new features? Microsoft has made Edge 103 available in the Stable channel, and this latest web browser release follows its predecessor’s footsteps.
Edge 102 also arrived sans any big new additions.
Nevertheless, as the company announced, version 103 is now available for everyone to download. It is a security-centric update for the web browser, though alongside it arrived a host of gaming additions like Clarity Boost and Gaming Hub that clearly make it the best browser out there for gaming.
According to the company, this release includes 4 noteworthy new features, though again, these are not really for consumers.
The first is the ability to control automatic profile switching. The second is a client certificate switcher. The third is a more reliable web defense. Lastly, there is the work search banner in the Edge address bar.
This build also includes 4 new policies related to guided switch, Internet Explorer mode zoom, live captions, and origin keyed agent clustering.
Of course, there are tons of new security features and patches, the details of which you can gather from the special blog that Microsoft maintains for this purpose. In simple words, this version of the browser has a fair amount of tightening, par for the course.
These are the minor changes in Edge 103, improving security and providing various bug fixes.
Microsoft Edge updates automatically, but you can force install version 103 by navigating through the Settings panel and initiating deployment of the latest release.
And if you’re looking for new features, fret not, for Microsoft is hard at work developing several new ones like a built-in calculator, unit converter, and even a speed test in future versions of Edge that will sometimes land this summer.
A lot to look forward to, eh?
