Microsoft has updated its Edge browser to version 98, with a four-week new update plan be consistent. This release comes with some improvements for PCs with multiple Edge profiles, as well as a new safe mode and other improvements.

For users who have multiple Edge profiles set up, you can now create a list of sites that will automatically switch you to a different profile. For example, let's say you always use your school's specific Edge profile to access your school's website. If you want to avoid using a different profile to access the site, you can set it up to automatically switch to the correct Edge profile when you open a website.

Microsoft also said it added a new security mode in Edge 98 that "adds an extra layer of protection" for users. The company is very non-specific about what this security mode does, but it is to protect users from vulnerabilities that are being exploited in the wild. It’s worth noting that Microsoft was developing “Super Duper Secure Mode” last summer, which users could test in the Edge Insider channel. This will disable JavaScript's JIT compiler, thereby greatly reducing the number of vulnerabilities that can be exploited in some cases at the expense of some performance.

It's unclear if this is what's being done here, but Microsoft will warn you about certain websites when you try to enable this feature in your browser's settings May stop working. This is especially true if you enable this feature in strict mode, which enforces additional security on each website. If you select Balanced Mode, the sites you visit most (because you probably trust them) will not be affected by the security layer and continue to work normally, as described in the support page.

In addition to this, this update also comes with an updated scrollbar design based on the new Windows 11 scrollbars. This design allows the bar to overlap on top of the page content rather than taking up screen space. This is an experimental feature that you can enable at edge://flags.

Microsoft has also deprecated WebRTC Session Description Protocol Plan B semantics, a legacy feature that has been replaced by Plan Unified. This ensures compatibility with newer WebRTC applications and keeps Edge consistent with other browsers. Finally, Microsoft is preparing website owners for the upcoming launch of Edge 100 by testing user agent strings with Edge version 100. This is because some websites may have difficulty with the extra numbers in the user-agent string. This is what Google is doing with Chrome as well.

If you already have Edge installed (it's included with Windows 10 and 11), it should automatically update to the latest version. Otherwise, you can download Edge 98 here.
