Microsoft has just released a new update for the weekly Dev build of the new Chromium-powered Edge browser, taking it to Build 77.0.197.1

The release brings the following changes:

• Added an option to show only the icon for individual favourites on the favourites bar.
• Added dark theme support for full page screens (Settings, History, etc.)
• Added more languages that you can display Microsoft Edge in.
• Added the ability to choose which categories of diagnostic data are sent with feedback.
• Changed the ability to pin a website to the desktop into the ability to pin a website to the taskbar.
• Separated the ability to import cards and payment info from certain browsers away from the option to import other autofill data like names and addresses.

Fixes for improved reliability:

• Fixed an issue where navigating to a website that’s saved as a favourite by typing its address into the address bar crashes the browser.
• Fixed an issue where opening the DevTools in an InPrivate window sometimes crashes the browser.
• Fixed an issue where selecting an item from the address bar dropdown sometimes crashes the browser.
• Fixed an issue where signing out of the browser sometimes crashes it.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to sign into the browser sometimes leaves it in a broken state.
• Fixed a crash when using Read Aloud.
• Fixed an issue where installation was sometimes failing.

Fixes for improved behaviour:

• Fixed an issue where some favourites on the favourites bar spontaneously lost their text.
• Fixed an issue on Mac where videos on certain websites don’t cause the video controls to appear on the touch bar.
• Fixed an issue where searching from the address bar doesn’t work with certain search providers.
• Fixed an issue where certain context menu items were incorrectly appearing in some DevTools context menus.
• Fixed some strings that weren’t translated.
• Fixed an issue where the + button to open new tabs sometimes wasn’t the correct colour.
• Improved drag and drop responsiveness on the Favorites page.
• Fixed some layout issues on the Extensions page when using certain localized builds.
