How to enable Security Mitigations feature on Microsoft Edge

Beginning with version 96, the Microsoft Edge web browser adds a new security feature called as Super Duper Secure Mode. The new Security Mitigations feature offers an extra layer of security and helps protect the browser from malware.

Its goal is to prevent attacks in JavaScript, which powers the JIT or Just-In-Time technology used to speed up website rendering. By disabling the JIT (Just-in-Time) JavaScript engine and enabling additional security mitigations, the feature increases surfing security.

It should be noted that removing JIT technology will have an influence on performance, however most people will not notice a major change in real-world usage. We will teach you how to enable the Security Mitigation feature for the Microsoft Edge web browser on your PC in this step-by-step instruction.
