    Dev channel update to 76.0.172.0 is live! Download the latest build then check out what's new this week.

    Hello insiders, today we released build 76.0.172.0 to the Microsoft Edge Dev Channel. Some of the most noteworthy fixes and improvements in this build are include:

    • Fixed an issue where Edge sometimes crashes on launch.
    • Fixed a crash when viewing settings in InPrivate.
    • Clicking the shortcut for a pinned website will now select a tab that contains the shortcut’s website if one is already open instead of opening a new tab every time.
    • Hovering over a website’s address on the history page now shows the full URL.
    • Fixed an issue where the first launch experience doesn’t happen if the user isn’t connected to the internet.
    • Fixed an issue where certain dialogs are cut off on small screens.
    • Fixed an issue where the side panels on certain edge:// pages aren’t visible when the window is at a narrow height.
    • Fixed an issue where the horizontal scrollbar did not appear on certain pages.

    Thanks once again for being an insider, and keep it up with all the great feedback.

    Although I haven't tried it, I'm not really a big fan of Microsoft switching from their own Engine to Chromium. We're definitely heading for an all Google, Browser-Market in the near Future. As long as Mozilla and Apple don't make Firefox and Safari switch to Chromium then we're safe from an all Google, Browser-Market.

    I am really curious:
    Why would someone want something so distracting turned on?
    Specially in Reading View, where all distractions are supposed to be filtered out?

    Hmmm...in order for that grammar tool to be of any educational use it needs more than just nouns, verbs and adjectives. But it's a good start.

    I also suspect this will only work properly for English, like everything else international MS is doing.

    BS!
    These tools can improve reading comprehension through increasing fluency for English language learners or readers of other languages, and they can also help build confidence for emerging readers learning to read at higher levels.
    In school I did really bad in Grammar(C-/D+), but when I had to write papers and essays, I would almost always get A's or A+.
    Plus learning German, I tried looking at grammar books and they didn't help either, I learned more watching TV(specially the commercials that are about a single subject) and just trying to talk and have conversations with others.

    My opinion is to learn a language(specially the spoken one(reading is easy) only using it daily helps.
    What one learns in school will often confuse others, or make them giggle because written and spoken language(colloquial language ) is always to different things.

    @Cliff S

    Yep! While grammar is very useful, the real learning starts when you actually try to use the language you're leaning.

    The biggest issue with grammar is that that knowledge needs to be very strong for one language before it's of any use when learning other languages.
