Edge Dev users can now search for solutions when the browser runs into errors

Microsoft released Edge Dev 12402 to insiders and while the build comes with a lot of fixes and improvements, the Redmond-based tech giant is also letting users find workarounds for errors when they pop up in Microsoft Edge.

How? By adding a Bing Search box on the error message page. So, whenever you run into an error on Edge, you will be able to quickly and easily look it up, and search for solutions.

The capability will use Bing to search for workarounds, but the engine is as good as Google, and ultimately when dealing with a solution, it doesn’t matter which engine is on.

With that being said, speaking of errors, the earlier version of the Microsoft Edge Dev 124 was released last week, and users complained about a persistent bug that made the browser freeze, and it was related to GPU usage.

However, as you can see below, Microsoft hasn’t addressed it yet:

Added features:   

•  Implemented a Bing search box on the error message page. 

Improved Reliability: 

• Fixed an issue where the browser would crash after logging in and synchronizing with the AAD account upon accessing a URL for the first time. 
• Fixed an issue that triggered a browser crash when clicking profile in private mode. 
• iOS: Fixed an issue that caused browser to crash when signing out from AAD account. 

Changed behavior: 

• Resolved a problem with layout distortion when expanding or collapsing a tab group in vertical tabs. 
• Resolved a voice launch issue with the mic button in the search box in NTP. 
• Updated the title of “Microsoft Office” pin site to “Microsoft 365” in the Pinning Soft FRE screen. 
• Resolved the problem of a red box appearing next to the Magnify Image option in the context menu. 
• Fixed an issue that caused Copilot to malfunction when switching back and forth between MSA and AAD accounts. 
• Fixed an issue that made browser copilot display a red dot in a different tab. 
• Resolved a problem with the “Open in sidebar” feature not working in the tab’s menu. 
• Fixed an issue where white margins appeared on the QR code on the continuity dialog of Desktop. 
• Fixed an issue that caused the font size to remain unchanged on a few FRE Screens after increasing the font size to the maximum. 
• Restarting and refreshing the edge://settings/splitScreen page resulted in a blank page. This problem has been resolved. 
• iOS: Fixed an issue that adjusted the cursor position to avoid overlapping with the delete icon for long queries. 
• Android:
  • Resolved an issue where Copilot Chat failed to open when users clicked on the “Try It Now” or “Try Free” image creation buttons, causing the browser to freeze. 
  • Fixed an issue where the icon was not visible on the Manage Extensions page in private browsing mode. 
  • Fixed an issue where the “Terms of Use” and “Privacy Policy” links did not respond to clicks. 

You can now update to Edge Dev 12402.
