They say that there are not two without three, so there is nothing strange that we make a hole for Microsoft Edge 113shortly after doing it to Chrome 113 and Brave 1.15, the first derivatives of Chromium (113, obviously) to come out with the usual batch of monthly updates.
And what brings new Microsoft Edge 113? Same as the others, basically: one part is what Chromium has updated, including there security patches, stability fixes, and performance optimizations; and the other part, the most interesting, the changes and novelties of the Microsoft browser, one of the most prominent in terms of offering a personalized experience.
With this release, however, Microsoft Edge presents just a couple of changes or news to highlight, beyond the tweaks to the application’s policies and which on this occasion affect the reproduction of PDF documents and storage, although the latter It will not be active until the stable version of Microsoft Edge 115 appears on the scene. As it is, the change in privacy options and the update method in macOS is the bulk of Microsoft Edge 113.
Following what is indicated in the release notes for Microsoft Edge 113, well, the highlight is, in general terms and for all users of the browser on PC, the revamp of the tracking prevention settings, which goes from having three modes to only two, leaving behind the basic one. According to Microsoft, everything will be easier and just as efficient with the balanced and strict modes.
If you still don’t see this change in your browser, give it some time, as depending on the platform it will happen gradually.
Second, change the Microsoft Edge update mechanism in macOS and, for those users who want to avoid the automatic update process, it is necessary to perform a manual intervention to modify the policy, before updating to the present version. The same if it has already been done, for the next one. More information about this topic at this link.
And that’s all as far as Microsoft Edge 113 is concerned, speaking only of what the user may notice. The pity with all this, with Microsoft Edge, is that the company continues to stain everything they do well with a shameful practice to swallow with a browser whose value is indisputable. A pity, of course.
