Video Super Resolution Missing Options in Setting
Enhance videos in Microsoft Edge (Flag: #edge-video-super-resolution) is missing critical options in setting, making it impossible to function properly. In Version 136.0.3240.29 (Official build) beta (64-bit), as well as the previous beta build, it is missing the option to choose from three methods of video enhancement, as shown in screenshot. Here is the setting from latest beta build: This is how it is supposed to look: Thus, beta build defaults to Microsoft Super Resolution and I can't find a way to use graphics driver enhancement like RTX Super Resolution, which is critical to my experience. Also, HDR is no longer supported when video enhancement is enabled, which I believe is a limitation of Microsoft Super Resolution.Most Pointless Browser Ever
This browser is by far the worst I have ever used. May be called Edge because it's on the edge of extinction. Take me back to Netscape Navigator. This is without any doubt the absolute slowest browser ever designed. Get rid of all the extra crap that nobody wants or needs. If this browser could be removed I would do so. I am going to switch to Chrome and I hate it almost as much.
How to prevent the frequent "Confirm your account details to sign in" in Edge Browser?
It seems there has been a changed between Edge 116 and 117 and I am trying to find what this is to see if there is a GPO setting that controls this behaviour. The issue is that navigating to a site would previously display the pop up "Confirm your account details to sign in" only the first ever time you access a certain site, however, this has changed with Edge 117 and this seems to happen every time accessing the same site now. Rolled Edge back to 116 and confirm the behaviour doesn't happen, and upgraded to 118 and confirm it does what 117 does. Looking to find what setting I need to tweak to arrest this behaviour as it is causing issues. Thank you
[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Hi, Since around 2025-09-07 to 2025-09-10, I’ve noticed that on GNOME (Wayland) all installed PWAs (even across different profiles) now appear grouped under the main Edge browser icon in the GNOME Shell dash/taskbar. Previously, each PWA would open in its own window group with its own icon. This is still the behavior in Chromium/Brave/Chrome, and can be restored there by editing the PWA’s .desktop file to set: StartupWMClass=<same value as Icon> However, Edge now seems to ignore StartupWMClass completely on Wayland, breaking workspace separation and making task switching hard. Environment: Ubuntu 25.04 GNOME 48.0 / Mutter (Wayland) Kernel 6.14.0-29 Intel Iris Xe GPU Edge (latest stable, observed post 2025-09-13) Repro steps: Install any PWA (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Spotify) from Edge Launch it (from any profile) Observe that it appears grouped under the main Edge browser icon Expected: PWA shows under its own icon and window group like in Chromium-based browsers Actual: All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps This regression makes PWAs much harder to manage on Wayland. Please route to the Linux/Wayland team if possible. Thanks!Microsoft Edge - Window Titlebar single click issue
On Linux systems running Wayland, Microsoft Edge Stable exhibits incorrect titlebar click behaviour. When the window is maximized, a single left-click on the titlebar incorrectly triggers a restore-to-windowed-state action. When Edge is in a normal (non-maximized) state, single-clicking the titlebar causes unintended small positional movements , as if a drag or snap gesture were initiated. This behaviour does not occur in Firefox, nor did it occur in older Edge releases . It appears specifically when Edge is using Chromium’s client-side window decorations under Wayland. Attempts to configure Edge to use system (server-side) titlebars — including the UI toggle (“Use system title bars and borders”), launcher flags (`--force-system-title-bar`, `--gtk-version`, `--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations`) and `.desktop` override configuration — do not resolve the issue. This suggests a hit-test / event-targeting regression in the Chromium Wayland + CSD (client-side decoration) path. Additional Notes This matches the known open Chromium issue regarding misaligned hit-test regions in GTK4 CSD under Wayland . Since Edge now defaults to GTK4, the incorrect click detection is being triggered before compositor-level decoration logic applies. Firefox, which uses server-side GNOME decorations under Wayland, does not exhibit this behavior.
bing chat keeps using wikipedia as a source
Not sure if this is post-worthy but I thought I should share to see if anyone else is having similar issues. I use Bing chat quite frequently to give me a starting point or inspiration for writing essays (I don't full-on copy and paste because that would just be cheating lol). Sometimes Bing chat will list one of the sources as Wikipedia, and I'm sure all students who have had to write an online essay know teachers don't like it when you use Wikipedia as a source. So, I try and add to my responses, if it uses Wikipedia, "don't add/use Wikipedia as a source." Here is where my problem begins: even when I explicitly tell the Bing chat not to use Wikipedia, it will still use it. Or it will use Wikipedia as a primary source for the entire paragraph which is frustrating. My question is: is there possibly a way around this? Do I need to add some kind of special wording to prevent Wikipedia from being used as a source?
Feature Request: PDF Layer Support in the new Adobe PDF Engine for Edge
Beschreibung: Mit der Umstellung des integrierten PDF‑Viewers in Microsoft Edge auf die Adobe Acrobat PDF‑Engine (Rollout ab 2023, vollständige Ablösung des Legacy‑Engines bis Juni 2026) ist es entscheidend, dass wichtige Profi‑Funktionen nicht verloren gehen. Ein zentraler Wunsch vieler Anwender ist die vollständige Unterstützung von PDF‑Layern. Gerade in technischen Bereichen – etwa bei CAD‑Zeichnungen, Bauplänen oder Schaltbildern – sind Layer unverzichtbar, um Inhalte gezielt ein‑ oder auszublenden und komplexe Dokumente verständlich darzustellen. Wir bitten darum, sicherzustellen, dass die neue Adobe‑Integration in Edge auch diese Layer‑Funktionalität nativ unterstützt. Ohne diese Funktion bleibt Edge für professionelle PDF‑Workflows eingeschränkt und zwingt Nutzer weiterhin zu Dritt‑Viewern. Use‑Case‑Beispiele: Elektrotechnik: Kabelpläne mit Layern für Signal‑, Strom‑ und Steuerleitungen Architektur: Baupläne mit Layern für unterschiedliche Gewerke (Elektro, Sanitär, Statik) Dokumentation: Technische Handbücher mit optionalen Layern für Detailansichten Eine native Layer‑Unterstützung würde die neue Adobe‑Engine in Edge deutlich aufwerten und den Einsatz für Fachanwender erheblich verbessern. gb-EN Description: With Microsoft Edge transitioning its built‑in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine (rollout starting in 2023, legacy engine removed by June 2026), it is crucial to ensure that key professional features are not overlooked. One of the most requested capabilities is full support for PDF layers. In technical fields – such as CAD drawings, construction plans, or electrical schematics – layers are essential to selectively show or hide content and make complex documents easier to understand. We kindly ask that the new Adobe integration in Edge natively supports PDF layers. Without this functionality, Edge remains limited for professional PDF workflows and forces users to rely on third‑party viewers. Use‑Case Examples: Electrical engineering: cable diagrams with separate layers for signal, power, and control lines Architecture: construction plans with layers for different trades (electrical, plumbing, structural) Documentation: technical manuals with optional detail layers Native layer support would significantly enhance the Adobe PDF engine in Edge and make it far more valuable for professional users.Edge app for android in Google Play Store "no longer compatible with your device."
Hiya! I was directed here from the Microsoft Support Community as I was told that there are developers in this community. Here is my issue, any help would be SUPER appreciated. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it. The issue I'm having is related to updating the Edge app in the Google Play Store on my android 7 phone. In the Play Store, when I go to update either Edge or Edge Beta the option to update is no longer available and instead in red text it says "This app is no longer compatible with your device. Contact the developers for more info." I have emailed the developer at the email address provided in the Play Store, I have also submitted feedback several times on both apps, but with no luck, and with no response. I posted my issue in the support community and was directed here. I've read online that I should clear the Play Store Cache and app caches and have done so. I've also updated my phone. I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled the apps for fear that I won't be able to reinstall them at all due to the compatibility issue. I understand from reading online that it's probably related to my phone only being android 7 and that in the latest updates to the apps the developer(s) probably set the minSdkVersion to something higher than Android 7. I understand Android 7 is an older version and I've had this issue with other apps but they always clear themselves up, either on their own or with a quick email to the developer. Fingers crossed someone can help. Thanks so so so much. Cheers!MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!Stolen session token from Edge
We can steal the session token from Edge using tools like Burp Suite or Fiddler to intercept proxy traffic on the mobile phone, even when the Edge is MAM protected by Intune. This makes the Edge browser unsafe to use for Enterprise Applications on personal mobile. Recently I discovered that the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-token-protection in Conditional Access Policy. However it is only available for Windows. I am wondering if anyone knows when it would become available for mobile on Entra roadmap. Also, if you know any Edge configuration, I could use to stop Token Theft, please let me know! Thank you everyone.Bug: Empty bar at bottom of screen on Android 14 Honor 70 / MagicOS 8.0
After updating Microsoft Edge to version 142.0.3595.66 on Android 14 with MagicOS 8.0 on an Honor 70 smartphone, a permanent empty strip appears at the bottom of the screen when using gesture navigation. This issue was not present in previous versions, such as 141.0.3537.99. Disabling the "Edge-to-edge Everywhere" or "Edge-to-edge Tablet" flags does not resolve the problem. It seems to be related to the new edge-to-edge design introduced in the latest update. Please fix this issue or add an option to disable the bottom padding. Thank you.Cast button in toolbar doesn't work anymore
I'm on a Windows 10 tablet and since a few weeks in all my 3 installations (Stable, Dev 141.0.3500.1 , Canary 141.0.3518.0) the cast button in the toolbar doesn't work anymore. Only option I have now to initiate casting is with: Menu-Button => More Tools => Cast Media, which is quite annoying. Could someone from the developer team please take a look into that? Thanks in advance!Microsoft Edge/MSN Ads on videos has forced me to stop using it
I cannot believe that Microsoft Edge's home page (MSN) now inserts commercial ads into most every video article it posts. As I try to watch the article, ads now pop up, frequently more than one. It forces me to either sit through watching the ads to read some mundane article or close the video and get off the browser. I am soooo sick of advertising trying to get me to spend money on some stupid product. I have now found myself closing the browser and not using Edge/MSN most of the time now. What a waste. At least Firefox and Google have not started doing this (yet). Has anyone else found this to be true?
The official place to report bugs
I am a user of the beta version of Edge on Linux. From time to time, I encounter bugs that I’d like to report. After some searching, this forum is the closest I have found to a bug tracker. So I was wondering whether there’s a dedicated place for reporting bugs or should I just post here?
Are there any fix for hardware acceleration issues?
I am no longer using Edge because on Windows there are some issues that appear to be related to hardware acceleration, bugging what the browser renders, and have to resize it's window to fix. It happens on specific websites and mostly while gaming. On MacOS M1/M4 doesn't happens. On iOS 18/26 there were some issues related to scrolling on some websites (I think related to ads) . To fix, have to go back or close the tab. I really like Edge, but these issues made me migrate to Firefox (no issues), using only Edge on the business computer.. Will there be a fix for chromium based applications or by Edge it self some day?Option to remove search bar in new tab
Having an option to hide the search bar from the new tab would make the new tab page much cleaner and simpler And sometimes I want to catch a glimpse of the landscapes that are shown and the search bar is right in the middle of the image I believe it must be so
