What's New in DevTools (Microsoft Edge 126)

To check out the latest features of Microsoft Edge DevTools and the Microsoft Edge DevTools extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio, read these announcements.

To stay up to date and get the latest DevTools features, download an Insiders preview version of Microsoft Edge. Whether you're on Windows, Linux, or macOS, consider using Canary (or another preview channel) as your default development browser. The Beta, Dev, and Canary versions of Microsoft Edge run as separate apps, side-by-side with the stable, released version of Microsoft Edge. See Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.

Icons for browser extensions are displayed instead of blank squares

In the DevTools Activity Bar in previous versions of Microsoft Edge, there was a bug where the tab for some browser extensions was missing an icon. For example, when the React extension was activated, the icon for the extension in the Activity Bar was displayed as a grey box.

This issue has been fixed; icons for browser extensions are correctly displayed in the Activity Bar.

The DevTools UI in Chinese has changed back to the original font

In recent versions of Microsoft Edge, when the DevTools UI language was set to Chinese, a new default font was displayed. Per user feedback, the default font has been changed back to the familiar font.
