With this update, Microsoft has also deprecated the policy that loaded the rewritten Microsoft Defender SmartScreen library that made its debut in Edge version 103. Microsoft Edge 106 also introduces another policy for always using the OS capture engine instead of the browser capture engine to avoid issues with capturing Internet Explorer mode tabs.
There are also new policies for enabling Edge’s Efficiency mode all the time or only when a device is connected to a power source. Microsoft Search results in Bing only appear when users are signed into Edge with the Azure AD account provided by their organization. There’s a new policy IT Pros can enable to increase the maximum number of work results that appear in the address bar from 2 to 4. If Microsoft Edge 105 brought WebAssembly support for Edge’s Enhanced security mode last month, the changes introduced in version 106 are pretty minor.
Microsoft Edge version 106 is now available on the Stable channel.
