Microsoft Edge browser ushered in the 97 stable version update, the current version number is 97.0.1072.55. This update brings a lot of fixes and improvements, enhances security performance, and updates a lot of policies.
The following is the update log:
1. When logging in to multiple work or school accounts on the device, you can choose to use the current profile to log in to the work or school website.
In a multi-account usage scenario, the browser will prompt the user to select a specific account to continue to visit the website. In the Edge 97 version, when this feature is turned on, users will be allowed to use the current profile account to automatically log in to work and school websites without switching the browser to work and school accounts. Users can turn on or off this feature in Settings→Personal Information→User Configuration Preferences.
2. Added support for the Microsoft Endpoint Data Loss Prevention DLP function on the macOS version of the Edge browser.
3. Adaptive HTTPS
After enabling the function, users can upgrade the navigation from HTTP to HTTPS to obtain more secure features. It should be noted that this feature is temporarily pushed in grayscale, and users who have not received it will get it in the next Edge version.
4. Block WebSQL in a third-party context
The new Edge browser will prevent third-party frameworks from using the old version of WebSQL. The WebSQL In Third Party Context Enabled option is available before Edge browser v101 version. This change is based on the Chromium kernel used by the Edge browser. For details, you can check the corresponding entry for the Chrome platform.
