The Microsoft Edge Dev channel received another weekly update today. This week, the build number comes in at version 86.0.622.3, and it brings several new tweaks worth checking out. Most notably, Microsoft has added more alerts when the password manager detects that a password has been compromise.

Beyond that, there are some additional menu tweaks, along with the usual batch of fixes and improvements. It’s worth noting as well that this is the last major update to version 86 before Microsoft moves it to the Beta channel. There still might be more minor builds released, Microsoft says, but major feature additions are set for version 86.

Here’s a look at everything that’s new and improved, according to Microsoft’srelease notes:

If you’re already testing the Dev channel, you can grab this release now through the “About Microsoft Edge” section of the settings menu. Otherwise, the Best, Dev, and Canary channels are available at theEdge Insider site. Likewise, the stable version is available to download at theofficial Edge website.
