To stay up to date and get the latest DevTools features, download an Insiders preview version of Microsoft Edge. Whether you're on Windows, Linux, or macOS, consider using Canary (or another preview channel) as your default development browser. The Beta, Dev, and Canary versions of Microsoft Edge run as separate apps, side-by-side with the stable, released version of Microsoft Edge. See Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.

Filter heap snapshots summary by node type
When looking at all the objects in a heap snapshot in the Memory tool, it can be difficult to focus on specific objects or retaining paths. Now in Microsoft Edge 100, you can use the new Node Types filter when looking at a heap snapshot, to focus on only specific types of nodes. For example, to see only the arrays and string objects that are in the heap, select the Array and String entries in the Node Types filter:

Use DevTools in Czech and Vietnamese
Customizing and simplifying the developer experience includes making our tools available to everyone, regardless of their preferred language. We've added two new languages, Czech and Vietnamese, to our list of supported languages, and will keep adding more. If your preferred language isn't supported in DevTools, let us know!

The Network tool now displays how a request was fulfilled
In Microsoft Edge 100, the Network tool supports a new Fulfilled by column in the request log. If the request was fulfilled by your service worker or from the cache, that information is now tracked in the Fulfilled by column. When exporting or importing the request log as a HAR file, the information in the Fulfilled by column is also included.

- Service worker improvements.
For the history of this feature, see Issue #16.
Filter messages in the Issues tool by severity and browser target
In the Issues tool, the new Severity and Browser dropdown lists allow you to filter messages by severity and browser target, to help you focus on the most relevant feedback. You can select or clear the options in each dropdown list.
To see all relevant messages, you might need to refresh the page. If prompted, in the Issues tool, click the Regenerate issues button.
By default, the Severity filter is set to show only warnings and errors:
The Browser filter only applies to browser compatibility feedback, which is shown in the Compatibility section of the Issues list. By default, the Browser filter shows messages for the top browsers, as defined by Browserslist:
In the following example, messages about Firefox and Firefox for Android are filtered out:

When importing a performance profile, links now map to your original code
When recording a performance profile, the flame chart in the Performance tool displays links from each event on the main thread to the corresponding JavaScript function in the Sources tool. However, these links are broken when you export and import a performance profile.
In Microsoft Edge 100, the links from an imported performance profile now use source maps from Azure Artifacts symbol server to map back to your familiar, original source code. The performance profile must have been exported in Microsoft Edge 100 (or greater), so that the profile includes the information that's needed to resolve source maps in the exported performance trace.

Fix: The Waterfall view in the Network tool now matches Visual Studio Code themes
Update: Starting with Microsoft Edge 131, the Visual Studio Code themes feature is removed, and such themes revert to the default themes:
- Light+
- Dark+
In previous versions of Microsoft Edge, the Waterfall view of requests in the Network tool didn't match the themes from Visual Studio Code that apply to the rest of DevTools. In Microsoft Edge 100, this issue has been fixed.
Before Microsoft Edge 100, the selected theme wasn't applied in the Waterfall view:
Now in Microsoft Edge 100, the selected theme is applied to the Waterfall view of requests in the Network tool:
