Should you update to Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.32?

From Microsoft Edge updates, in the HARD wiki · Updated
This article is about one Microsoft Edge release. For the latest version, see Microsoft Edge updates.

No: install Microsoft Edge 156.0.4314.58 instead. Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.32 is a security update Microsoft released on 10 Sep 2026 for Mac and Windows. It fixes 231 security flaws, 1 rated critical and 20 important by Microsoft.[1] None of them is known to be used in attacks.

It has since been replaced by Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.46, released 17 Sep 2026, which includes all of its fixes. If you’re on an older version, install that instead.

Should you update?

No: install Microsoft Edge 156.0.4314.58 instead. Microsoft Edge 156.0.4314.58 came out on 30 Oct 2026 and includes every fix in Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.32, so there’s no reason to stop at this one. Software Update offers the newest version your device can run.

Is Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.32 still safe?

Not any more. The 16 updates since, up to Microsoft Edge 156.0.4314.58, fix 924 security flaws that Microsoft Edge 153.0.4234.32 doesn’t, and each became public the day its fix shipped. Installing it is safe: get it only from Edge’s own About page (Edge updates itself; there’s nothing to download from a website), never from a link in an email, text or pop-up.
