Microsoft Edge version 105 hit the Stable Channel, a few weeks after shipping to the Beta Channel, with enhanced Cloud Site List Management experience for IE mode on top of the usual reliability fixes and tweaks.
This version comes with a couple of feature updates under the hood. First up, enhanced security mode improvements which now support WebAssembly for x64 Windows. Additional cross-platform support is also expected in the future. Next up is the Cloud Site List Management experience for IE mode enhancement which allows users to restore to one of the last 3 published versions of your site list in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. And finally, enhancements to the Cloud Site List Management experience for IE mode are now accessible to GCC customers.
