Edge 137 is out, removes a lot of features and adds picture-in-picture improvements

Microsoft is rolling out a big feature update for its browser. Edge 137 is now available in the Stable Channel with a few important changes and improvements. The update also removes quite a lot of features, which were first announced with the release of Edge 137 Beta a few weeks ago.

With the release of Microsoft Edge 137, the following components are being removed: Image Editor, Image Hover Menu, Mini Menu, Video Super Resolution, and Wallet Hub. Microsoft is ditching those features to streamline the experience, particularly in Wallet. All the data stored in your Wallet (payment data and personal information) will be available in the password manager. You can read more about changes to Wallet in a document on the official support website.

As for new features and improvements, Edge 137 brings picture-in-picture enhancements, namely new playback controls. Now, besides play/pause, you skip forward and backward and use the playback progress bar.

Another addition is Web Content Filtering, a new feature announced at Build 2025. With WCF, companies can block millions of inappropriate sites by selecting the categories they want to block. Microsoft updates Web Content Filtering every day to keep its policies and blocking lists relevant and up to date. At the moment, it is in public preview.

Other changes include page summarization and contextual queries support in Copilot on the Work tab for Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat, "Find on Page" integration into Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in Microsoft Edge for Business, and various policy changes, which you can check out in the official changelog. There is also a fix for Outlook and Teams links not showing sidepane content for users with the sidebar visibility set to "Auto Hidden."

Finally, Edge 137.0.3296.52 patches eight security vulnerabilities, which you can find in the Microsoft Security Update Guide using this link.

Microsoft Edge will download and install version 137 automatically in the background and apply it upon the next restart. You can speed things up by heading to edge://settings/help.
