What you need to know

Microsoft just shipped an update to Edge Dev that adds a couple of new features to the browser. Following the update, Bing chat conversations will open automatically in the Side Panel in the Discover section. It also adds a new policy that can be used to disable the Read Aloud feature for enterprise users.

The new option for the Side Panel will open a Bing Chat conversation when you open a link from a response generated by Bing Chat. This makes it a bit easier to continue your query, even after navigating to a new webpage. The new feature is optional and can be turned off through Edge’s settings.

Here’s everything that’s new for Edge Dev as well as the fixes and improvements, asshared by Microsoft:

Edge Build 114.0.1788.0: Added features

Edge Build 114.0.1788.0: Improved reliability

Edge Build 114.0.1788.0: Changed behavior

Microsoft Edge Dev

There are several Insider versions of Edge to choose from. Edge Dev sits in the middle between Beta and Canary, so you get new features to test with a bit more stability.
