Feature update:
- Automatically redirect incompatible websites from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge. Starting from the Microsoft Edge 87 stable version update, public websites that display incompatible information on Internet Explorer will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge.
- Kiosk mode privacy function is enabled. Starting with version 87 of Microsoft Edge, Kiosk mode features will be enabled to help businesses focus on user data privacy. These features will enable experiences such as clearing user data when exiting, deleting downloaded files, and resetting the configured startup experience after a specified idle time.
- The shopping function is enabled by default. Starting from Microsoft Edge 87 version, business users can also benefit from the shopping features in Edge. Through the shopping function, Microsoft Edge can help users find coupons and better prices when shopping online. The coupon experience is available in this update, and the price comparison will be released in the upcoming Microsoft Edge 87 update . This feature can be configured through the EdgeShoppingAssistantEnabled policy.
- ClickOnce deployment is enabled by default. ClickOnce is enabled by default in Microsoft Edge 87, which reduces the barriers for enterprises to deploy software and better aligns with the behavior of the Microsoft Edge Legacy browser. Starting in Microsoft Edge 87, the “unconfigured” state of the ClickOnceEnabled policy will reflect the new default ClickOnce state of Enabled (compared to the previous default state of Disabled).
- The Enterprise New Tab Page (NTP) integrates productivity with customizable, work-related feeds. The Enterprise New Tab page combines the Office 365 productivity page that we provide to users who log in with a work or school account with personalized, work-related company and industry feeds, which are organized in one page. Users will be able to recognize familiar Office 365 content and Microsoft Search for Business provided by Bing. In addition, they can also choose the most relevant content from the organization’s available content and modules to easily customize “My News Feed”. IT administrators can control their organization’s news source settings by entering the Microsoft 365 management center, including selected industries on the Edge new tab page.
Privacy and security:
- Support policy configuration website TLS token binding. TLS token binding helps prevent token theft attacks to ensure that cookies cannot be reused from devices other than the one originally set up. To use TLS token binding, you need to set the AllowTokenBindingForUrls policy and require the listed websites to support this feature.
- The keyboard supports highlighters on PDF files. Users can use the keyboard keys to highlight any text on the PDF file.
