Microsoft releases Edge Dev 110.0.1543.0 to Insiders, but it no longer supports Windows 8.1 and older

Microsoft has released Edge version 110.0.1543.0 to the Dev Channel Insiders, offering a bunch of new features, fixes, and improvements. However, those using operating systems older than Windows 8.1 will not be able to update to the Edge Dev 110, as Microsoft has stopped support with the latest Dev build. The latest version of Edge Dev only supports Windows 10 and Windows 11.

While sunsetting support for older Windows OSes is disappointing to those who are yet to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11, Edge 110 comes with some exciting changes. It now allows users to force dark mode on Sidebar content, which means users will now be able to apply the dark theming on content that does not support dark mode even when dark mode is enabled.

For mobile users, Collections will now show new content inspired by your collections and the web. Microsoft says users’ existing collections will not be migrated. Microsoft Edge enterprise users will be able to block all Sidebar apps, thanks to added support for the ExtensionInstallBlocklist policy. Edge Dev 110 includes many other notable changes and improvements. If you want to learn more about them, you can read the complete official changelog below.
