Microsoft has just released version 98.0.1108.43 of its Edge browser. The update contains a handful of feature updates, including a new browsing mode that prioritizes security. Edge now allows users to customize their multi-profile experience, which means users can create a list of sites for which the browser will automatically switch profiles.
Here are the feature updates in Edge 98.0.11.08.43 like described by Microsoft:
- Improve your web security. This is a browsing mode in Microsoft Edge where browser security comes first, giving users an extra layer of protection when browsing the web. Administrators can apply group policies to end-user workstations (Windows, macOS, and Linux) to help protect against exploits in the wild (also known as 0-days). The following group policies support this browsing mode:
- EnhanceSecurityMode
- EnhanceSecurityModeBypassListDomains
- EnhanceSecurityModeEnforceListDomains
- Customize multi-profile experiences with profile preferences for sites. Users can personalize their multi-profile experience with the ability to create a custom list of sites for automatic profile switching in Microsoft Edge.
- Three-digit version number to come in the user agent string. Starting with version 100, Microsoft Edge will send a three-digit version number in the User-Agent header, for example “Edg/100”. Starting with Microsoft Edge 97, site owners can test this next user agent string by enabling the #force-major-version-to-100 experience flag in edge://flags to ensure that their User agent parsing logic is robust and works as expected. .
- Deprecate the SDP Plan B semantics of WebRTC. This change obsoletes an older dialect of Session Description Protocol (SDP) called Plan B. This SDP format is superseded by the Unified Plan, which is a specification-compliant, cross-browser compatible SDP format. For more information, see the Chrome Platform Status entry PSA: Plan B Expected to Launch M96 Beta and Stable, and PSA: Plan B Launches Drop Trial End Date stable and prolonged. Requesting a trial version of RTCPeerConnection Plan B SDP Semantics allows sites to continue using the deprecated API up to version 101.
- Layered scrollbars added to Microsoft Edge. We’ve updated our scrollbars with an overlay-based design. Users can enable this feature in edge://flags.
There is also a long list of policy updates in the latest version of Edge, which are listed in a Microsoft support document.

Review: Surface Laptop SE is the new standard for Windows K-8 PCs
Starting at just $250, Microsoft’s first foray into affordable laptops for the education market is a winner. With a gorgeous design, great thermals, and a fantastic typing experience, Microsoft would do well to sell it direct to consumers as well. Let’s just hope Intel can make a better processor.
Why Xbox Game Pass rightly rejects the Spotify model
Spotify is often cited as an apocalyptic example of what Xbox Game Pass could do to the gaming industry. The reality is quite the opposite, Microsoft rejects the Spotify model, and rightly so.
