Microsoft recently shipped an update for Edge that brings the browser to version 109.0.1518.49. The update is available for the stable version for Edge, so anyone relying on the browser for everyday use should be able to download it. The new version of Edge comes with a few updates, including text prediction. That feature provides predictions for long-form editable text. At the moment, it’s limited to English in the United States, India, and Australia.

Version 109.0.1518.49 of Edge also adds the option to link a personal Microsoft account and an Azure Active Directory account through work or school. Microsoft Rewards points earned through either account will be pooled together, which is especially handy since you can no longer share Microsoft Rewards points.

Here’s the full changelog for the latest version of Edge, as shared by Microsoft:
