Microsoft has released a brand new form of the advantage browser in the Dev channel, which time the update includes additional features and under-the-hood improvements on all platforms.

First and foremost, this latest version comes with the capability to translate the select text on a page, so theoretically, you no longer need to translate the whole page, only the written text that you'll require. This certainly comes in handy for everyone while using translation process, and it makes the event more straightforward, as users no longer need to use the translation process manually.

Simultaneously, this update also introduces an option never to translate a specific site, which behavior will work much like the one in Google Chrome.

There's also a new management policy that is thing about this release.

"Added an administration policy to Configure Speech Recognition. Note that updates to documentation and administrative templates continue to be needed," Microsoft says.

There are obviously several fixes for crashes that took place the browser, including when Password Monitor shows an alert, when opening the Downloads management page, or when dragging items right into a Collection.

What's more, Microsoft has resolved a bug that sometimes caused a Blue Screen of Death when opening the browser, so beginning with this update, everything should work effectively.

The known issues list includes virtually exactly the same entries as before, and one of the most notable is really a black screen glitch all of a sudden.

"After an initial fix for it recently, some users continue to be experiencing Edge windows becoming all black. Opening the Browser Task Manager (keyboard shortcut is shift + esc) and killing the GPU process usually fixes it. Note that this only appears to affect users with certain hardware and is most easily triggered by resizing an Edge window. For users with discrete GPUs, updating graphics drivers may help," Microsoft says.

The duplicated favorites issue is yet to get a fix, which means this new update also comes with the same issue.

"Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated as we made some previous fixes on the bottom. The most typical way this really is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it by having an account which has already signed into Edge before. Fixing this ought to be easier now that the deduplicator tool can be obtained. However, we've also seen duplication happen when running the deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for a few of the fixes we've designed to arrived at Stable, be sure to leave sufficient time in between runs from the deduplicator," the company explains. Today's Microsoft Edge Dev update can be obtained on all supported platforms.

The migration to Chromium allowed Microsoft to show Edge right into a cross-platform offering, so the application has become available not just on Windows 10, but additionally on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and macOS. Microsoft has already announced a Linux version of the browser, and a preview build is expected to be announced when this month, with a stable release to occur at some point soon.

Microsoft Edge has already end up being the second most-used desktop browser after Google Chrome, because it managed to overtake Mozilla Firefox on Windows and Mac. Obviously, the adoption of Windows 10 helped Microsoft Edge a lot, as Microsoft offers the browser as the new default around the operating system, replacing the legacy version automatically by having an update shipped via Windows Update.
