Edge browser does not utilize IPv6

Hello

I am using edge chromium 86 and have a valid IPv6 assigned to my computer. However, edge browser does not resolve domain names to ipv6 addresses and will only attempt connecting using ipv4

Testing with ipv6-test.com on a fresh profile on edge, shows ipv6 connectivity as "not supported", however the same test works flawlessly on Firefox browser.

I found out that I can't open urls like (ipv6.google.com) on edge (works on firefox), but typing the ipv6 address [2a00:1450:400e:80e::200e] directly works fine, so I'm concluding there is a problem with dns, but I couldn't resolve it by switching to other dns providers.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

    Hey there, VMTech.

    Can you take a look at Lowix's most recent response and confirm if you're in a similar situation? I understand it's working in FF and Chrome which was the same for Lowix, if that's what you're running in to as well I've already flagged this to the team to investigate. If not, please let me know.

    Thanks!
