Microsoft Edge purview

Days after releasing Edge Beta 125, which brought some interesting features to the browser, such as dedicated colors for workspaces, among many other features, Microsoft released another version of the build, bringing it to 125.0.2535.29.

According to the official changelog, 125.0.2535.29 will improve the Purview experience for all Microsoft Edge users. In other words, those accessing Microsoft Purview on Edge will notice a change in how they can copy/paste information around.

The Redmond-based tech giant says this new change will greatly improve the user experience on the platform when accessing it on Edge. The cut/copy/paste experience will become more intuitive and user-friendly, with new dialog boxes that will vanish when the operation is successful.

Improved user experience for Purview copy/paste controls in Edge. Our Purview cut/copy/paste experience is now more user friendly with self-dismissing dialogs on successful paste. The existing “Paste to supported browsers” setting allows organizations to classify and protect the content that end users can paste – both to specific websites and through supported browsers. You can follow the instructions in Use Endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) to create the DLP policy.

Microsoft

So, if you don’t have access to the Microsoft 365 app, where you can access Purview, Microsoft has made sure you can properly access it on Edge.

It’s a smart move, as those individuals who are tied to the platform to their organizations are now encouraged to access it on Edge, rather than other browsers.

It’s well known that Microsoft Edge is gaining ground in the browser market, and it’s already above Safari, Mozilla, or Opera, being the second most used browser behind the more popular Google Chrome. But Edge has come a long way in just under a year: in 2023, the browser was failing behind Safari, and now it has overtaken it.

If it continues this way, Chrome might soon have a serious competitor in Edge. And it seems Microsoft wants it that way, too.
