Microsoft has released the final Edge Dev version 103 build. Coming in at version 103.0.1264.2, this build improves tab groups and editor languages. Here’s what you need to know.
First up, new features. Microsoft added features to drag the create tab group feature by default. They also added features to Make Editor languages be enabled by default when adding a new language to the accept languages list. Here’s the changelog on that.
