The Dev 121 is most likely the last of the year, so Microsoft released a lot of improvements to the browser, that will ultimately make their way to the stable version. Users will be able to download and install these improvements from the new Browser Essentials panel, which is the new method Edge will get updates moving forward.

Below is the complete list of all of the new features, changes, and improvements coming with Edge Dev 121.
