Edge 124 made its way to the Beta Channel before its stable release, and similar to itsEdge Dev 124update, this one is quite big, and it has a lot of new features, changes, and improvements, while also implementing new policies, and deprecating other policies as well.

The Beta 124 patch has a plethora of new features, but the most interesting one (and the most useful one, if you ask us) is the new ability to allow first-time Edge users to cancel unintentional creations, such as accounts, profiles, and setting ups, in a way that’s easy and convenient.

The feature is now part of the Edge Beta 124, but Microsoft said they’re gradually rolling it out in a controlled manner, so not everybody will get access to it right away. However, once they do, the perks will be quite big: new users won’t have to worry about enabling something that does not fit their style of browsing, as that can be easily undone.

The new updates to the profile options in the new profile experience are necessary if Microsoft wants Edge to become more popular than ever before. Why? Because it provides a seamless and easy introduction of the browser to the new users. The browser is already quite good, and many believe it is better than Google Chome, but it does not have its popularity.

You can see all the new features, changes, and improvements coming with Edge Beta 124, below:
