Version 114.0.1823.11: May 9, 2023

Feature update

  • (Preview) Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Edge Workspaces gives customers a way to organize their browsing tasks into dedicated windows. Edge Workspaces lets users share a set of browser tabs so working groups can view the same websites and latest working files in one place and stay on the same page. Each Edge Workspace contains its own sets of tabs and favorites, created and curated by the user and their collaborators. Edge Workspaces are automatically saved and kept up to date. For more information about this public preview, see Microsoft Edge Workspaces.

  • Option to attach the Edge sidebar to the Windows desktop. Users of the Microsoft Edge sidebar will be able to access their apps and sites directly from their Windows desktop. As an opt-in experience, users can attach the sidebar to their Windows desktop by clicking a "popout" icon near the base of the sidebar in the browser. This enables a side-by-side experience that works with any Windows app—including Microsoft Edge itself. Users enjoy streamlined access to the same set of powerful AI tools and web-based services, including Bing Chat, without launching a browser window, enhancing productivity regardless of where they are in Windows. Administrators can control the availability using the StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled.

  • Enhanced security mode on by default. Enhanced security mode provides an extra layer of protection when browsing the web and visiting less familiar sites. Enhanced security mode is turned on by default for x64 Windows, x64 macOS, x64 Linux, and ARM64 systems. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.
