Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) in Edge

Question

I am trying to enable ECH in Microsoft Edge. Many forums and articles say that the feature can be enabled from Edge v105 and above. I am on the latest version of Microsoft Edge Dev, but I can't enable it.

Does anyone know how to enable ECH in Edge?

Hey there Devanarayanan (Kesu),

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with ECH not being enabled in Edge.

According to the steps you provided from Microsoft Community Hub's HotCakeX, I tested it separately in different Edge versions and the result proved that I could not enable ECH according to the steps either.

Since the feature is still debugging and perfecting and not very stable, I have submitted the issue to Microsoft Edge team for feedback through internal channels, meanwhile, I sincerely invite you to submit your Feedback at the same time:

Open the page in the Microsoft Edge browser, then use the shortcut keys "Alt" + "Shift" + "I" to open the feedback window or select the 3 dots in the top right, select Help and feedback, then choose Send feedback (Note that the feedback window will capture the current screen and URL link and email address, and you can add Attachment and record your problem), enter your problem, and click "Send".

Thank you for your understanding and great contribution to improving Microsoft products. I will let you know if there are any updates in this issue.

Have a nice day and stay safe!

Best regards,
