I had expected Edge 114 to also deliver the new Edge user experience, but it’s not enabled and only some of it works using flags.
Workspaces appears to be the only new feature, and it requires an Azure Active Directory (AAD) account, or what Microsoft calls a Work or School account, with a OneDrive for Business license. Edge Workspaces are automatically saved and kept up to date.” Each Edge Workspace contains its own set of tabs and favorites, all created and curated by the user and their collaborators. “Edge Workspaces lets users share a set of browser tabs so working groups can view the same websites and latest working files in one place and stay on the same page.
“Microsoft Edge Workspaces provides a way for customers to organize their browsing tasks into dedicated windows,” the Microsoft Learn website notes of this release. Without the update, hackers could launch attacks that give them full control over your computer, showcasing how severe this security risk is.Microsoft released version 114 of its Edge web browser last night with the new Workspaces feature for businesses.
Microsoft recommends updating your browser as soon as possible, as there’s a chance this bug is already impacting PCs. Google patched the same bug recently and has been keeping quiet about details of the attack to allow others to make similar fixes, since Chromium is quite a popular codebase. Microsoft uses the same base code for the Edge browser, meaning bugs that affect one often plague the other. While every security update should be installed promptly, this one is a bit more urgent because the attack is “in the wild” already, meaning that hackers are already taking advantage of this vulnerability to breach security.ĭesignated CVE-2022-2294, this vulnerability was actually a flaw with the Chromium project, the open-source code that Google’s Chrome browser is built upon.
Microsoft just released an Edge browser update that patches a dangerous flaw that could allow a cleverly designed attack to execute arbitrary code.
