    Good news regarding 77.0.189.3 Dev build (and likely already Canary but I don't follow Canary):


    You can Export policies to JSON format, Reload Policies, and search policies.

    On a Security note, msedge.exe binary is fully instrumented for Control Flow Guard (CFG) mitigation. CFG has been enabled for the binary for chrome.exe for a year or two now, however, it was never fully instrumented for CFG. It appears to be now for versions 76/77+. To view this, you need the latest Process Hacker Nightly build, choose to Inspect executable file from the Tools menu which you can select the msedge.exe or chrome.exe binary and loads within peview.exe from Process Hacker, go to the CFG tab and you can view the finer details there. Previous binaries version 75 and under had CFG enabled for the binary but no instrumentation on that CFG tab.

    I installed the Dev. version and it download and install it in Hebrew, but the browser come with English display language and I can't change it to Hebrew or another language. In Can. version I can change it. So I stay in Can. version.

    Trying to open this trivial local htm file (no edge window open)
    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    takes about 3 minutes!
    I submitted this issue to the edge team, but now answer until now.

    What version You use and how do you tried to open this xxxxx.html document.
    It means:
    1. It is not possible that it does not open it, otherwise you would not see any website at all (!)
    2. I tried to open a local file from my Documents folder - no problem.
    So please explain what you want to do and how you do it.

    I don't imagine what you're talking about. I tried again (with the latest version of Canary), I chose one very large volume .html file - it took a one thousandth of a second (1/1000) and everything was open.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to measure how long time it took, but it took place instantly, one moment and it was fully opened. The page included several javascripts, tables, pictures etc.

    The startup page of my browers is a local file from my Documents folder. Some time ago, all was ok. But since some releases (don't remember when this happened) of edge canary, it takes about 3 minutes for the htm file to be displayed. I didn't say "that it does not open it", but that is takes about 3 minutes. Just try this : make sure that no instance of edge is running, right click on the test file I mentioned above and chose "open with Microsoft Edge Canary", and you will see...

    1. Please write the URL You used
    2. when You updated whole User Data (it is needed update, because there has been so many changes on Canary and all outdated files are there. There appears conflict if they are not deleted).
    3. and one more thing, this your .htm file is not correctly written, but it is not very important.

    The person above means there is an HTML file residing on their storage and the contents of the entire HTML are as follows:

    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    and then they loaded that HTML with the browser and apparently for them - for me it loaded instantly as expected - it took upwards of three minutes to complete the task. I created a test.html file, pasted that code into it, saved it, then double-clicked it and it loaded damned near instantly.

    I then closed out Edgium completely, waited 15 seconds, then double-clicked that test.html file again and again it loaded damned near instantly. I can't say why that person or that other person might be having some issue, but then again I can't understand why someone would want to load a pure blank HTML file in the first place or how that even came to be "a thing," I suppose. ;)

    Works fine for me, maybe it is an actual glitch for some installs for some users, but not me.
