Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Leonardobabe for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, January 13, Microsoft today released a stable version of Chrome 109, just days after Google released it to the stable channel.

It is worth noting that Edge 109 is the last version of a web browser that is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and Microsoft terminated support for both operating systems on Tuesday, January 2023.

Microsoft fixed 14 different security issues in Microsoft Edge 109. Two of these security issues are specific to Edge, and the remaining 12 are the same as other Chromium-based browsers.

These two Edge-specific vulnerabilities are rated as critical and medium in severity. One is a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-21775) and the other is a browser privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2023-21796). One of the Chromium security issues has a high severity rating, while the remaining vulnerabilities have a medium or low severity rating.

Microsoft Edge 109 has introduced a new text prediction feature designed to help users "write faster" and "reduce errors". This feature is currently only available on the English version of Edge in the United States, India and Australia. Microsoft plans to add more language support in future releases and enable it in more regions.

Text prediction enhances the Microsoft editor in Edge, providing grammar, spelling, and style suggestions. When this feature is enabled, Edge sends the data to Microsoft for processing. According to Microsoft, text Prediction uses "natural language processing to generate predictions for long-formatted editable text fields on web pages".

CTOnews.com learned that Edge users can disable writing aids in browsers or switch from using Microsoft editors to basic writing aids to prevent Edge from sending data to Microsoft.
