The Microsoft Edge teamhas just announcedthe release of Dev Channel branch build 91.0.845.2. This is a small build, but it does come with an improvement for the passwords manager, and the usual bug and reliability fixes. Here’s a look at what you need to know.

First things first, we’ll get into the added features. New is the ability to select and delete multiple passwords at the same time from edge://settings/passwords. Also new is the ability to quickly toggle between two tabs on Mac via a keyboard shortcut. Capping out the new features is a Certificate Management Settings page on Linux and also a message to explain that Vertical Tabs can’t be collapsed when IE mode tabs are open.

Now, for the reliability improvements and changed behaviors. This week, Microsoft has fixed crashes when closing the browser, as well as when navigating to certain websites, and when opening menus from the downloads popup menu. Other changed behaviors and fixes can be seen below.

Known issues are the same as previous releases, with no new ones to take note of this week. Other than that, there’s nothing else to note, but if you’re on the Canary channel, youcan look forward toa new security feature that will result in the browser now requiring authentication before auto-filling passwords. Happy downloading, Edge Insiders, and remember to send your feedback to Microsoft if you come across any bugs.
