New Microsoft Edge Dev Build 77.0.235.5 brings Netflix fix

Microsoft has released a new update (Build 77.0.235.5) to the Microsoft Edge Developer channel.

The extremely minor version update (from 77.0.235.4 to 77.0.235.5) brings a single fix to address Netflix error D1711-1331.

Last week’s build from the 7th August brought:

• Added the ability to never translate pages that are in a particular language.
• Added a keyboard shortcut for the … menu on Mac.
• Added a button to maximize the feedback screenshot editor window.
• Added the ability to resize the feedback diagnostic data window.
• Added group policies to allow SmartScreen to be managed by organizations.

Fixes for improved reliability:

• Fixed a crash during the first run experience.
• Fixed a crash when typing in the address bar.
• Fixed an issue where the browser crashes on startup.
• Fixed a crash when using the built-in translator.
• Fixed an issue where opening the feedback submission form crashes the browser.
• Fixed an issue where opening the Settings page sometimes crashes the browser.
• Fixed an issue where sites that use single sign-on sometimes hang the browser.

Fixes for improved behavior:

• Changed where app/website shortcuts are pinned depending on how the app/website is installed.
• Fixed some issues around the shortcut pinned to the Task Bar not showing the proper icon or launching the proper profile.
• Fixed an issue where typing in the address bar sometimes causes whatever address is autocompleted to start loading on its own.
• Fixed an issue where videos on certain sites like Netflix sometimes become hidden.
• Fixed an issue where print preview sometimes doesn’t render all pages.
• Fixed an issue where search engines that have been deleted reappear the next time the browser is opened.
• Fixed an issue where invalid data was being shown in certain form autofill popups (for example, email fields had popups containing generic data that did not contain valid email addresses).
• Fixed an issue where light or dark theme isn’t properly applied to system pages (Favorites, Settings, etc.) on Mac.
• Fixed an issue on Mac where the X to close a tab sometimes isn’t visible in dark theme.
• Fixed an issue where sign-in popups sometimes didn’t show the correct window icon and title.
• Fixed an issue where the browser sign-in dialog isn’t big enough to fit its contents.

Users in the weekly Dev channel can update their browser by visiting the About Edge page in the Browser Settings.
