Microsoft making Edge more secure by default very soon on Windows, Mac, Linux, Arm
Microsoft is looking to make browsing on its Edge browser more safe and secure for all users. According to the Microsoft 365 (M365) roadmap, the company is planning to enable the "Balanced" mode for Edge's Enhanced Security mode feature by default. Currently, users can choose to enable this setting and choose between the "Balanced" and "Strict" options. Previously, the tech giant referred to this technology as the Super Duper Secure mode.
This was added to the M365 roadmap a few days ago and under the feature ID "124963":
What Enhanced Security mode essentially does is run unfamiliar sites without the just in time (JIT) compilation to reduce the attack surface. This Security mode also initially had a "Basic" browsing preset available when it was launched for the first time to the Stable channel. However, it was removed last month via a major update.
Microsoft explains in a support document what the Balanced secure browsing mode is:
The change is set to roll out next month in July according to the M365 roadmap entry.
