Edge Dev Insiders have a new build that improves the browser’s accessibility. Microsoft Edge Dev recently received an update to version 105.0.1336.2.
What are the new features for Narrator?
Microsoft Edge Dev has a new build available for Insiders. The browser’s most recent update includes a couple of new features. Edge’s Narrator feature will now announce “banner” on “Learn more” links, making the browser more accessible. The update also adds support for a Chromium management policy to control if Unthrottled Nested Timeout is Enabled, though that option will be deprecated at some point in the future.
