TheChromium-based Edgebrowser, which Microsoft announced in 2018, is still not finished. However, it is getting close to a final product as the big M has recently unveiled aChromiumEdge release candidate. Furthermore, Microsoft has also added a new insecure content blocking feature to the latest Canary version of thebrowser.
Insecure content blocking is essentially a type of site permission. With content blocking enabled,Edgewill block potentially insecure content stored on website pages. Thus, it will ensure that only secureHTTPS contentis permitted on pages users open inChromiumEdge.
The new content blocking feature is included within the latest Canary Edge version only. Users can get that by clicking theDownloadbutton for the Canary Channel on theMS Edge Insider Channels page.
Steps to turn on Insecure Content Blocking on Edge
After adding that Edge version toWindows 10, users will also need to enable the feature via thebrowser’s flags page as follows.
Thereafter, content blocking will be enabled inEdge. Users can further configure that to block content on a per page basis. To do so, click the padlock icon on the left of thebrowser’s URL bar. Then clickSite permissions, and select an Insecure content setting.
Microsoft will launchChromiumEdge early next year forWindows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 along with themacOS platform. The software giant has confirmed a January 15, 2020 release date for its revamped flagshipbrowser. Thereafter,ChromiumEdge will be included with the 20H1Update that Microsoft will roll out during spring 2020.
