Introducing Project Robin | New Feature
this one is a new flag you can enable: edge://flags/#edge-robin
Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.852.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
I think, Project Robin is a way to show Windows Defender Application Guard windows as tabs, next to other regular tabs. because right now, when you open a new WDAG window, it has its own protected window, backed up by Windows Defender engine. this Project Robin might be a way to bring the 2 environments together in the same window.
so far the feature doesn't seem to be fully implemented yet. when I try it, it takes me to
https://dev.browse.trafficmanager.net/?header=0&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F&escape=newdomain&titlePrefix=0
and then nothing.
it's exciting, waiting for future versions to see more changes.

The `#edge-robin` flag in Microsoft Edge refers to **Project Robin**, which is an experimental feature introduced in the Edge Canary channel. Project Robin is designed to create an isolated environment to protect your device, potentially by integrating Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG) windows as tabs alongside regular browser tabs¹²³. This could allow for a more seamless experience when browsing both trusted and untrusted sites, with the latter being sandboxed for security.
To enable Project Robin, you would navigate to `edge://flags/#edge-robin` in Microsoft Edge and set the flag to "Enabled." However, it's important to note that since this is an experimental feature, it may not be fully implemented and could affect your browsing experience. Always proceed with caution when enabling experimental features in your browser.

Yeah hehe, copilot is quoting me, there is literally no other info about project robin as to what it exactly does, we know it's not for WDAG which is now deprecated and removed from Windows.
When I try to use that web dev.browse.trafficmanager.net I get the message:
User [my email] is not authorized.More info about Project Robin
