What's new in EdgeHTML 18
EdgeHTML 18 includes the following new and updated features shipped in the current release of the Microsoft Edge platform, as of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (10/2018, Build 17763). For changes in specific Windows Insider Preview builds, see the Microsoft Edge Changelog and What's New in EdgeHTML.
Here's the permalink for the following list of changes: https://aka.ms/devguide_edgehtml_18.
New and updated features
Autoplay policies
With the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Microsoft Edge provides customers with the ability to personalize their browsing preferences on websites that autoplay media with sound in order to minimize distractions on the web and conserve bandwidth. Users can customize media behavior with both global and per-site autoplay controls. Additionally, Microsoft Edge automatically suppresses autoplay of media in background tabs.
Check out the Autoplay policies guide for details and best practices to ensure a good user experience with media hosted on your site.
Chakra improvements
EdgeHTML 18 includes updates to the Chakra JavaScript engine to support new ES and WASM features in addition to performance and interoperability improvements. Check out the ChakraCore 1.11 Release Notes for details.
CSS updates
We've made further progress on our experimental CSS Masking implementation (behind the Enable CSS Masking flag) with added support for mask-composite, mask-position, and mask-repeat. For site compatibility, Microsoft Edge also supports the following -webkit- properties: -webkit-mask, -webkit-mask-composite, -webkit-mask-image, -webkit-mask-position, -webkit-mask-position-x, -webkit-mask-position-y, -webkit-mask-repeat, -webkit-mask-size.
Additionally, Microsoft Edge now has support for overflow-wrap and partial support for overscroll-behavior (
auto
and contain
values).Developer Tools
The latest update to Microsoft Edge DevTools adds a number of conveniences both to the UI and under the hood, including new dedicated panels for Service Workers and Storage, source file search tools in the Debugger, and new Edge DevTools Protocol domains for style/layout debugging and console APIs.
DevTools in the latest Windows 10 update (EdgeHTML 18) has all the details.
Listening to your feedback
We listen to your feedback and have implemented support for several requested APIs in EdgeHTML 18, including the
DataTransfer.setDragImage()
method used to set a custom image when dragging and dropping, and secureConnectionStart
, a property of the Performance Resource Timing API, which can be used for returning a timestamp immediately before the browser starts the handshake process to secure the current connection.In addition, no one likes enumerating the attributes collection, so we've added support for
Element.getAttributeNames
to return the attribute names of the element as an Array of strings, as well as, Element.toggleAttribute
to toggle a boolean attribute (removing if present and adding if not).Progressive Web Apps
Lifetime background script
Windows 10 JavaScript apps (web apps running in a WWAHost.exe process) now support an optional per-application background script that starts before any views are activated and runs for the duration of the process. With this, you can monitor and modify navigations, track state across navigations, monitor navigation errors, and run code before views are activated.
When specified as the
StartPage
in your app manifest, each of the app's views (windows) are exposed to the script as instances of the new WebUIView
class, providing the same events, properties, and methods as a general (Win32) WebView. Your script can listen for the NewWebUIViewCreated
event to intercept control of the navigation for a new view:Any app activation with the background script as the
StartPage
will rely on the script itself for navigation.Text scaling
The Windows 10 October 2018 Update introduces the Make text bigger setting for improved end-user acessibility, and PWAs installed on Windows (in addition UWP and most desktop apps) now support this feature automatically. For PWAs and WebView controls, text scale works the same way as DPI scaling. If a user changes both text scale and DPI scale, the result is the product of the two.
For design guidance, check out the Text scaling UWP guide on Windows Dev Center.
Microsoft Edge Driver Updates
Service Worker updates
For a refresher on what Service Workers are and how they work, check out the Service Worker API summary written by our partners over at MDN. There were several updates to Microsoft Edge supporting Service Workers in EdgeHTML 18. The
fetchEvent
enables the Service Worker to use preloadResponse
to promise a response, and the resultingClientId
to return the ID of the Client that the current service worker is controlling. The NavigationPreloadManager
interface provides methods for managing the preloading of resources, allowing you to make a request in parallel while a service worker is booting-up, avoiding any time delay. Check out the newly supported API properties for the list of Service Worker preload methods and properties.Web Authentication
Microsoft Edge now includes unprefixed support for the new Web Authentication API (aka WebAuthN). Web Authentication provides an open, scalable, and interoperable solution to simplify authentication, enabling better and more secure user experiences by replacing passwords with stronger hardware-bound credentials. The implementation in Microsoft Edge allows the use of Windows Hello enabling users to sign in with their face, fingerprint, or PIN, in addition to external authenticators like FIDO2 Security Keys or FIDO U2F Security Keys, to securely authenticate to websites.
For more information, head over to the blog post Introducing Web Authentication in Microsoft Edge.
WebDriver
WebDriver is now a Windows Feature on Demand (FoD) making it easier than ever to automate testing in Microsoft Edge and get the right version for your device. You will no longer need to match the build/branch/flavor manually when installing WebDriver, your WebDriver will automatically update to match any new Windows 10 updates.
You can install WebDriver by turning on Developer Mode, or install it as a standalone by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Manage optional features. For more information, check out the WebDriver announcement on the Windows Blog site.
Update Microsoft Edge Download Browser
Web Notification properties
Four new properties are now supported for web notifications:
actions
, badge
, image
, and maxActions
, improving our ability to create notifications on the web that are compatible with existing notification systems, while remaining platform-independent.WebView
Service workers
Service workers are now supported in the WebView control, in addition to the Microsoft Edge browser and Windows 10 JavaScript apps. All flavors of the Microsoft Edge webview (PWA, UWP, Win32) support service workers, however please be aware that the Push API is not yet available for the UWP and Win32 versions.
x64 app architectures require Neutral (Any CPU) or x64 packages, as service workers are not supported in WoW64 processes. (To conserve disk space, the WoW version of the required DLLs are not natively included in Windows.)
Win32 WebView updates
The EdgeHTML WebViewControl for Windows desktop (Win32) apps has been updated with several new features, including the ability to inject script upon page load before any other scripts on the page are run (
AddInitializeScript
) and know when a particular WebViewControl receives or loses focus (GotFocus
/LostFocus
).Additionally, you can now create a new WebViewControl as the opened window from
window.open
. The NewWindowRequested
event still notifies an app when script inside the WebViewControl calls window.open as it always has, but with EdgeHTML 18 its NewWindowRequestedEventArgs
include the ability to take a deferral (GetDeferral
) in order to set a new WebViewControl (NewWindow
) as the target for the window.open:Lastly, power users might notice the apppearance of the Desktop App Web Viewer (previously named Win32WebViewHost), an internal system app representing the Win32 WebView, in the following places:
- In the Windows 10 Action Center. The source of these notifications should be understood as from a WebView hosted from a Win32 app.
- In the device access settings UI (Settings->Privacy->Camera/Location/Microphone). Disabling any of these settings denies access from all WebViews hosted in Win32 apps.
Deprecated features
XSS Filter now retired
![Edge Edge](/uploads/1/2/6/8/126888713/612427817.jpg)
With EdgeHTML 18, we are retiring the XSS filter in Microsoft Edge. Our customers remain protected thanks to modern standards like Content Security Policy (CSP), which provide more powerful, performant, and secure mechanisms to protect against content injection attacks, with high compatibility across modern browsers.
New APIs in EdgeHTML 18
Check out the full list of new APIs in EdgeHTML 18. They are listed in the format of [interface name].[api name].
Note
Although the following APIs are exposed in the DOM, the end-to-end behavior of some might still be in development and hidden behind an experimental flag. Refer to Microsoft Edge platform status for the official word on feature support.
Previous EdgeHTML releases
by Martin Brinkmann on March 18, 2018 in Internet Explorer - Last Update: March 20, 2018 - 27 comments
Microsoft launched the web browser Microsoft Edge as the default system browser of the Windows 10 operating system. The company made Edge the default browser but distributes Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 as well with the operating system.
Microsoft Edge is integrated in Windows 10; it is not available for any other version of Windows and it appears that Microsoft has no intention to change that. The company did release Microsoft Edge for Google's Android and Apple's iOS operating systems, however.

The following guide is about updating the desktop version of Microsoft Edge. If you want to update the Android version of Edge or the iOS version, check out the official Stores to do so.
How to update Edge
Microsoft Edge is not available as a separate download. Windows users can't download a web installer or the most recent version of Microsoft Edge to install it on a device running Windows 10.
Microsoft Edge is updated through Windows Update primarily. Administrators and users need to distinguish between two types of updates:
- Cumulative updates for Windows 10 that update Microsoft Edge to a new minor version.
- Feature updates for Windows 10 that update Edge to a new major version.
Cumulative updates increase Edge's version slightly and feature updates in a major way. If you check the version of Microsoft Edge on a Windows 10 Fall Creators Update system, you will notice that it returns version 41.x. The same check on a Spring Creators Update system returns the version as 42.x right now.
In other words: Microsoft Edge's version is directly related to the feature update version of Windows 10 installed on the PC.
It is impossible to update Edge to a new version of the browser that Microsoft introduced in a newer feature update.
If you run a system with the Anniversary Update of Windows 10, you cannot update Edge to the version introduced in the Fall Creators Update or Spring Creators update.
The only option you have is to upgrade the Windows 10 machine to a newer feature update version to update Edge at the same time.
Microsoft releases security updates for earlier versions of Microsoft Edge provided that the feature update version of Windows 10 is still supported by the company. New features, however, do get introduced in versions of Edge released in more recent feature updates.
How to update Microsoft Edge
- Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-I to open the Settings app
- Select Update & Security.
- Make sure Windows Update is selected.
- Click on 'check for updates' to run a manual check for updates.
- Download any new cumulative update that is offered to you.
- Tip: You may also want to download the most recent Adobe Flash Player version to make sure it is up to date.
Microsoft Edge versions
Microsoft maintains different versions of the Edge browser:
Microsoft Edge Manual Download
- Windows 10 Insider Builds -- The most recent version of Edge.
- Windows 10 Feature Update, current -- The most recent stable version of Edge.
- Windows 10 Feature Updates, previous -- Older versions of Microsoft Edge that lack features.
Check the version of Microsoft Edge
You can check the installed version of Microsoft Edge in the following way:
- Open the Microsoft Edge web browser.
- Select the menu icon (..) and then Settings from the menu that opens.
- Scroll all the way down to the 'about this app' section.
Edge lists its version and the version of EdgeHTML.
Note: Websites and download portals that claim that they offer Microsoft Edge downloads, don't. They either redirect you to Microsoft's Edge homepage (where you can't download the browser), or to the mobile app stores where you can download the mobile version of Microsoft Edge for Android or iOS.
