📅 July 2026 release notes

New in Edge

The following features are now available in Edge:

• background-clip: border-area: The background-clip: border-area CSS declaration draws the background underneath only the border of an element.
• light-dark() image values: The light-dark() CSS function accepts, in addition to colors, two <image> values, such as a gradient or URL, and uses one depending on the current color scheme.
• Lazy-loading media: The loading="lazy" attribute for <video> and <audio> elements defers loading the media resource until the element is near the viewport. This matches the lazy-loading behavior for <img> and <iframe> elements.
• text-fit: The text-fit CSS property scales text to fill the inline size of its container. You can use this to grow or shrink headlines, captions, or pull quotes to fit a container.
• cross-origin() for url(): The url() CSS function accepts a cross-origin() modifier to control cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) when requesting the URL. For example, url("https://example.com" cross-origin(anonymous))) does not send credentials to the URL.
• integrity() for url(): The url() CSS function accepts an integrity() modifier to use subresource integrity to verify the response from the requested URL.
• referrer-policy() for url(): The url() CSS function accepts a referrer-policy() modifier to choose which referrer to send when requesting the URL. For example, `url("https://example.com" referrer-policy(no-referrer)) does not send a referrer to the URL.
