Microsoft Edge gets updated and gets safe mode improvements in version 105

Microsoft released last Thursday (1st), a new update for Edge, the default browser of Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, introducing improvements in the program’s safe mode, which from the update to version 105.0.1343.25 passes to support WebAssembly on the 64-bit architecture of the software.1

According to the changelog released by the developer, the novelty was released on the stable channel, and can be downloaded by users worldwide. Unlike previous updates, this one does not introduce major changes to the program and comes only to fix bugs and issues reported by the user community.

Although this edition does not bring new features, it is important to point out that in the last update made available to the Beta channel, the company inserted a new side menu with shortcuts to the main Microsoft services, such as Outlook, Bing, Office and tools, such as calculator and meter. Internet speed, for example.

The list of the stable version does not mention the arrival of this function, so it is possible that the developer will release the menu only in the next few weeks. In tests carried out by the AllCellular we didn’t see any crashes in Edge after the update to v105, however it is recommended to wait a few days before downloading the package.
