Say hello to the new Favorite Sidebar feature in the Edge browser
Microsoft Edge Version 87.0.654.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) (This could be a controlled feature rollout meaning only available to a subset of insiders) this is the new view you get when you click on favorites button on Edge toolbar and once you click on that Pin icon, the sidebar will show up I love this mechanism and implementation, very neat and smart! thanks also the favorites menu no longer closes when you open favorite sites in new tabs, something I know a lot of people asked for.Why is Edge 87 Stable channel running experiments and Controlled Feature Rollouts !?
the element that is a controlled feature rollout is the new favorites experience on toolbar and sidebar in the Edge stable change log, there is no mention of this new feature at all, no word about favorites. the reason I can tell it's controlled feature rollout is because I can switch between old and new favorite experience by connecting to different VPNs and thus having different IP locations. something that I've read shouldn't be happening in Edge stable channel, since it's not insider. it's annoying to see this because the stable channel is no longer stable if a simple IP change can make features come and go.Need explanation for this feature | Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Navigation Throttle
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Navigation Throttle If enabled, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen will replace the current method of protecting against potentially harmful browser navigations. Mac, Windows #edge-smartscreen-nav-throttle The flag is in Edge Version 87.0.658.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) I want to know what is the current method of Edge protecting against potentially harmful browser navigations, if not using Microsoft Defender SmartScreen? And also how is this possible on Mac that doesn't have Windows Defender? Lastly, is that flag connected to this option in Edge settings?
