    @SAM-R could you update the OP with more relevant information and links, please?
    It would be easier for newcomers or even people who don't want to scour the thread for information.

    I don't know, it seems that some features are enabled for some and for others not.

    Agreed, not available on my Canary Build either...

    Also, for those that keep asking for the stand alone downloaded installer from Microsoft, there's a folder within USERS under Edge called Updates... Each time Microsoft updates the browser, they download to that folder first then install it afterwards.

    I noticed that if you download direct from MicrosoftEdgeInsiders.com and check the box to allow your feedback/help to be transmitted to MS, then your browser will get the updates via settings. If you don't allow feedback data, your browser won't allow updates in the background and in settings it shows an error code regarding updates.

    Same thing happened when I installed the full installer from the USERS Edge Updates folder... the browser showed an error code regarding updates via settings. Don't know if that was a bug that was in version 121-123... but I uninstalled everything and redownloaded from MicrsosoftEdgeInsiders.com and selected allow feedback sharing and once browser was installed, I verified updates were available via Settings in Edge this way.

    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

    Here's the direct location for CANARY build updates from Microsoft. Inside this folder will be another folder named after a stringer and within that folder will be the lastest full installer, which you can also run as a portable... if you want to.

    When I installed on another computer this full installer, the browser had an error code regarding updates... but haven't tried again after version 121 so maybe it was just a bug in older versions that had disabled updates.

    But that's where you'll find the full installer after each Update Edge Browser does going forward. I believe the folder is the same for DEV builds too, but haven't check again after version 121. If someone running Dev builds could verify and let us know if Updates are in the same location as Canary builds or different, please post the location if different...

    Thanx :)

    Tab hover cards is still not working in the latest version? How did one fellow get it to work? Is this a server side change being tested with a few people?

    Edit: I did enable the flag
