Microsoft releases Edge Dev build 87.0.664.8 with a bunch of new features

[silversurfer]

Microsoft is releasing Edge Dev build 87.0.664.8. Notably, this is the last major Edge 87 build that's going to arrive in the Dev channel. Assuming that all goes well, we should see Edge 88 starting next week, and the Beta channel should start getting Edge 87 some time next week.
 
This build actually comes with a number of new features, some of which are more notable than others. One feature, which was announced a week ago, gives you price comparisons for items in Collections. This is meant to help with your holiday shopping. Also, the Favorites menu is now a pinnable pane.
 
Here's the full list of new features:

• Changed the Favorites menu to now be a pinnable pane that lists all favorites in a single vertical list instead of multiple flyout menus.
  
• Added a price comparison feature to Collections.
  
• Added data recovery to PDFs so that edits or annotations aren’t lost in the event of a crash.
  
• Improved support for AV1 encoded videos. Note that the Windows extension is still required to be installed from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/av1-vi...vzqvxjbq9v.
  
• Added a keyboard shortcut to open and close Collections.
  
• Added a button to the Profile flyout to turn on Sync if it’s not already turned on.
  
• Added a setting to control whether or not the button to reveal passwords on webpages is shown, as well as a management policy for Password Reveal Enabled. Note that updates to documentation and administrative templates are still needed.
  
• Added a management policy for Kiosk Address Bar Editing Enabled. Note that updates to documentation and administrative templates are still needed.
  
• Added a management policy for Web Capture Enabled. Note that updates to documentation and administrative templates are still needed.
  
• Merged the News and Office new tab pages for work and school users. Note that the Office-only new tab page can still be set for users via management policy.
  
• Rolled out the pre-rendered new tab page more broadly.
  
• Deprecated the management policy for New Tab Page Set Feed Type.
