Area secured! Microsoft has released Edge 105, the latest version of the company’s web browser, which includes security and IE mode improvements.
This release is now available in the Stable channel. The software titan lists the necessary details in the release notes that you can scan. The company also lists the security updates separately for those who want to monitor these specific enhancements.
Version 105’s main highlights are improvements to the web browser’s overall security and enhancements to the Cloud Site List Management experience for Internet Explorer mode.
Proceeding start with enhanced security mode improvements, with this mode now supporting WebAssembly for x64 flavors of Windows. There were some concerns regarding the performance in this mode, with fears that it would be too slow for use or break down sites.
But thankfully, we are in the clear.
You can check out further details on the security features that Edge now boasts here.
Next up is IE mode, which has seen improvements to the Cloud Site List Management experience. This particular feature has now assumed a whole other level of importance following the high-profile retirement of Internet Explorer.
And this is why Redmond now recommends users switch to this special mode baked into Edge for any websites or applications requiring IE compatibility.
Version 105 includes a number of improvements for IE mode, which you can check out in the link above.
Finally, like any version upgrade for Microsoft Edge, this new release also introduces new and changed policies while deprecating some older rules. Six new policies, one deprecation, and an additional policy change are here for your consideration.
Microsoft Edge build 105.0.1343.25 is the one that you are looking for.
This version can be downloaded manually or using the auto update engine built into the desktop web browser. Be sure to upgrade via whichever route you prefer for your Edge installation.
