The Chromium-based Edge browser hit a major milestone today, with Version 100 being released via the Dev channel. Although the magnitude of this version update is not large, it brings significant changes to Linux users. In terms of new features, Linux users can finally log in with their work or school account by default.
Another new feature is a tweak to the Performance Center to see how many resources Sleeping Tabs save. The Edge 100 has been updated very lightly, so nothing has changed in terms of bug fixes or reliability and changed behavior. We’ve listed the full changelog for you below:
- Fixed a crash when searching for words in PDFs.
