The Microsoft Edge Dev channel has gotten a brand new update that brings it to version 82.0.446.0 and includes a series of additional features, in addition to more Fluent Design in its UI.

First of all, the new version of Microsoft Edge includes better drag and drop support for Collections, a feature that seems to be rather popular among people who installed Microsoft's new browser. Furthermore, this update features a new option for Guided Change to recommend the change to a work or school profile when content that's right for such accounts is accessed with a personal profile.

As far as the Fluent Design improvements are concerned, Microsoft has added such visual improvements in a number of key areas, such as the calendar picker and the dropdown menus on Apple's Mac platforms. Because of the migration of Microsoft Edge towards the Chromium engine, the browser is now on non-Windows platforms as well - a macOS build has already been released and a Linux version happens to be in the works.

Additional improvements

In fact in every new build, there are lots of additional changes and refinements, and you can find them all in the box after the jump.

Worth highlighting, however, are fixes for crashes experienced when playing the Surf game, syncing favorites, or simply closing the browser. There are also fixes targeted at Netflix users, as Microsoft states that in some cases, the service does not play quite happy with error D7356 on some devices.

With regards to the known issues, Microsoft Edge continues to be encountering a problem with certain security software running on Windows.

"Users of certain security software packages might find all tabs fail to load with the error STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. The only supported method to prevent this behavior would be to uninstall that software. We're currently engaging with the developers of this software to test a possible fix, which we hope to bring to Dev and Canary soon," Microsoft says.

The brand new Dev build is available on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and macOS.
