This week's Edge Dev build has more PDF inking improvements - silversurfer - 06 May 20

Quote:It's Tuesday, which means that it's time for a new build of Microsoft Edge in the Dev branch. As you'd expect, version 84.0.502.0 includes a few new features, all of which are pretty minor.
 
Once again, there are PDF inking improvements, including the ability to exit inking mode by hitting the Esc key and a new red highlighter color. There are also new Read Aloud voices, and there's a new layer of authentication if you try to edit a payment card.
 
Here's the full list of new features:
Quote:
  • Added a “don’t show again” option to the warning that appears when launching Edge with Administrator privileges.
  • Added the ability to exit ink/highlight mode in PDFs by hitting the Esc key on the keyboard.
  • Added security to the saved payment cards section of Settings by requiring extra authorization before editing a saved card.
  • Added the ability for Windows Information Protection for extend to the Share feature.
  • Added a red PDF highlighter color.
  • Added checkboxes to the entries on the Favorites and History management pages.
  • Added new Read Aloud voices.
As always, there are a bunch of fixes. Here are the fixes for improved reliability:
Quote:
  • Fixed an issue where all webpages and extensions crash immediately upon load.
  • Fixed an issue where video on certain websites like Netflix sometimes doesn’t load properly.
  • Fixed an issue where viewing certain Settings pages crashes the browser.
