Microsoft Edge version 109 is a significant release because it is the final version to support several older Windows operating systems. Released in early 2023, it serves as the terminal update for users on legacy systems who cannot upgrade to newer versions of Edge. 0;16;

Here’s a proper feature overview of Microsoft Edge version 109, organized by what makes this version notable in Edge’s release history.
Millions of people still running older PCs—some in developing nations, others with vintage setups, and many small businesses—suddenly faced a choice. They could continue using Edge 109, but it would never receive new features, performance optimizations, or, most critically, security patches for newly discovered browser vulnerabilities.
Edge 109 would continue to get critical security fixes for a limited time (Microsoft pledged to support Edge 109 with security updates until October 2023, aligning with the end of Windows 7 ESU for some customers). But after October 2023, Edge 109 became a static, frozen browser—increasingly dangerous to use online.
For users on supported operating systems (Windows 10, 11, macOS, and Linux), version 109 brought several security upgrades designed to protect enterprise and personal data.
Edge Workspaces—a feature allowing teams to save a collective set of tabs and favorites—began rolling out in 109. While not fully public, enterprise users saw the framework. Workspaces allowed a manager to share a "workspace" URL; when employees opened it, Edge would automatically open the five or six necessary tabs (SharePoint, Teams, Excel Online) instantly.
