Dev channel update to 100.0.1169.1 is live

Added features:

• Added support for a textprediction attribute on forms in webpages that allows web developers to enable or disable text prediction similar to the way they can control spellcheck and autocomplete.
• Enabled support for custom text cursors on Windows.
• Added a Setting on Mac to allow the browser to be automatically updated for all device users.
• Added the ability on Android to have Read Aloud work when the tab or app is in the background.
• Enabled a management policy from Chromium to Force the Major Version number To the Minor Position In the User Agent string, which is a temporary policy to freeze the major version number at 99 and place the actual version number in the minor position, for example turning version 101.0.0.0 into 99.101.0.0.
• Developer (Note that these APIs were previously in the “Experimental” status):
  • Added an API to WebView2 to hide buttons from the PDF toolbar.
  • Added an API to WebView2 to Call Dev Tools Protocol Method For Session, which runs an asynchronous method on a specific WebView session.
  • Added an API to WebView2 to control the Exclusive User Data Folder Access property, which prevents other WebViews and browser processes from accessing the user data folder.
  • Added an API to WebView2 to Allow External Drop, which controls if objects from outside a WebView application are allowed to be dragged and dropped into it.
