Microsoft has rolled out a new version of its Edge web browserfor beta testers on the beta channel. Version 130.0.2849.5 of Microsoft Edge is now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

This version of Microsoft Edge, one of the most significant ones in a while, includes several new features, feature updates, fixes, and policy updates.

With version 130.0.2849.5, Edge fully deprecates the Token Binding, which uses cryptographic certificates on both ends of the TLS connection to close the security gap of bearer tokens that may be lost or stolen. Token Binding is deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 130. Also, the AllowTokenBindingForUrls policy is now obsolete.

Edge on macOS now seamlessly opens links in Teams. When you set the default browser to Microsoft Edge and enable the feature, web links from the Teams desktop app are sent via chats, channels, calendars, and other entry points. These links seamlessly open automatically in the profile signed into the Teams app and skip the need to reauthenticate in the browser. This feature makes it faster and easier to access content.

Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the “Choose Which Browser Opens Web Links” Microsoft 365 policy.

Microsoft Edge is introducing three navigation improvements toEdge Settings to make finding browser settings more efficient. The Redmond-based tech giant isn’t changing the functionality of any setting, and all the settings stay on the same page as they are today but will be behind clickable sections.
