Chromium issue #963183
Using the DevTools in other languages
Many developers use other developer tools, like StackOverflow and Visual Studio Code, in their native language, not just in English. We’re excited to announce localization for the DevTools, which you are now able to use in one of 10 languages besides English:
Chinese (Traditional) - 中文（繁體）
German - deutsch
Japanese - 日本語
Portuguese - português
Spanish - español
The DevTools automatically match the language you use for Microsoft Edge in edge://settings/languages.
If you want Microsoft Edge to be in one language and your DevTools to remain in English, select F1 in the DevTools to open Settings and disable Match browser language.
Console messages are not localized. Only the strings used in the DevTools UI are displayed in the language you use for Microsoft Edge.
If you want to use the DevTools in a different language than the ones that are available, tweet at us or choose the Send Feedback icon.

Tracking prevention Console messages
Tracking prevention is a unique feature in Microsoft Edge that protects you from being tracked by websites you have not visited before. The default tracking prevention setting is Balanced mode, which blocks 3rd party trackers and known malicious trackers for an experience that balances privacy and web compatibility. To give you more insight into the compatibility of your web page when certain trackers are blocked, warning messages were added in the Console when a tracker is blocked.
Read more about tracking prevention and the balance between privacy and web compatibility.

Chromium issue #924693
Cookie-related updates
Blocked cookies in the Cookies pane
Top ten fuel efficient suvs. The Cookies pane in the Application panel now displays blocked cookies with a yellow background.
Chromium issue #1030258
Cookie priority in the Cookie pane
Microsoft Edge 81 Offline Installer
The Cookies tables in the Network and Application tools now include a Priority column.
Caution
Chromium-based browsers, like Microsoft Edge, are the only browsers that support cookie priority.
Chromium issue #1026879
Edit all cookie values
All cells in the Cookie tables are editable now, except cells in the Size column because that column represents the network size of the cookie, in bytes. For an explanation of each column, navigate to Fields.
Copy as Node.js fetch to include cookie data
To get a fetch expression that includes cookie data, hover on a network request, open the contextual menu (right-click), and choose Copy > Copy as Node.js fetch.
Chromium issue #1029826
More accurate web app manifest icons
Previously, the Manifest pane in the Application panel sent its own requests in order to display web app manifest icons. DevTools now shows the exact same manifest icon that Microsoft Edge uses.
Chromium issue #985402
Hover on CSS content properties to display unescaped values
Hover on the value of a content property to display the unescaped version of the value.
For example, in this demo when you inspect the p::after pseudo-element an escaped string is displayed in the Styles pane:
When you hover on the content value, the unescaped value is displayed.
More detailed source map errors in the Console
The Console now provides more detail on why a source map failed to load or parse. Previously it just provided an error without explaining what went wrong.
Setting for disabling scrolling past the end of a file
Open Settings and then disable Preferences > Sources > Allow scrolling past end of file to disable the default UI behavior that allows you to scroll well past the end of a file in the Sources panel.

Microsoft released Edge 81 in the stable channel today, something that the Beta channel has been testing out since February 20. It's been longer than the usual six weeks, but the whole schedule is off. After Edge 81, we're going to get Edge 83, as version 82 has been completely scrapped.
There isn't a whole lot in terms of new features in version 81, although it should include DevTools localization for 11 languages, something that was announced back in early February. It also has simplified Jamf Pro profiles on macOS. Microsoft also hasn't yet published a blog post for the new release, so this assumes that stable is getting the same features as Beta.
Microsoft Edge 81 Update
Even though the new Chromium-based Edge has been generally available since January 15, no one except for beta testers have actually gotten the update from Edge Legacy. It was sent out to Windows Insiders on the Release Preview ring over a month after general availability. Because of that, if you want the new Edge, you have to install it manually, and you can get it here.
