Microsoft Edge 84 is now available in the Dev channel

[silversurfer]

Microsoft's Edge Dev builds have been pretty consistently released on Tuesdays for almost the last month, and this week follows the same trend. The company announced Edge Dev build 84.0.488.1 today, and it's the first Edge 84 build in the Dev channel.
 
However, there's not a whole lot that's new. You'll now see a dropdown when in fullscreen that will let you get to your tabs and address bar without exiting fullscreen, and that's probably the most interesting feature. Here's the full list:

• Added a dropdown UI when browsing in fullscreen mode to be able to access tabs and the address bar without exiting fullscreen (unofficially referred to as Shy UI).
  
• Added a management policy to prevent the creation of a desktop shortcut when Edge is installed.
  
• Added messaging to inform users when the internal PDF reader is disabled via the “Always Open PDF Externally” management policy.
  

As always, there are a bunch of fixes as well. Here are the fixes for improved reliability:

• Fixed an issue where protected video on certain websites doesn’t work.
  
• Fixed an issue dragging a tab out of a window sometimes crashes the browser.
  
• Fixed an issue where opening an InPrivate window on Mac crashes the browser.
  
• Fixed an issue where cancelling an autofill payment card authentication sometimes crashes the browser.
  
• Fixed an issue where navigating from an IE mode website to a non-IE mode website in the same tab sometimes crashes the browser.
  
• Fixed an issue where attempting to check for updates on edge://settings/help showed a “Could not create Component” error.
  
• Fixed an issue where Read Aloud and Grammar Tools sometimes don’t work.
  
• Fixed an issue where Application Guard windows sometimes fail to open on devices with low battery.
  
• Fixed an issue where exporting a Collection to Excel sometimes fails.
  
• Fixed an issue where importing autofill data from other browsers sometimes fails.
  
• Fixed an issue where pinning websites to the Taskbar fails when the site’s name is too long.
