Default Search Engine Automatic Change
Why's does my default search engine on Edge keeps getting restored to Bing? A couple of years ago I decided to switch my default browser to Edge, but lately I'm regretting it. Everytime the app updates it automatically resets the default search engine, which is tiring to keep changing it back to what I want. Is there any way to overcome this issue or I simply have to switch back to Chrome?
Edge PDF editor text dissapearing
When i add text to my PDF in Edge, just to add notes to it, once i click outside of my current text box to add text elsewhere, the text i just added disappears, but i can still see the text if i go into the print preview section. I have tried a bunch of stuff to resolve the issue that i have found online but nothing has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.
Feature Request: Native Multi-Container Tabs (Session Isolation) for Edge Workspaces and Tab Groups
Microsoft Edge developer team, As a developer who regularly tests complex web applications locally and on staging environments, I rely heavily on Microsoft Edge's Tab Groups and Workspaces to keep my projects organized. However, testing multi-role workflows—such as simultaneously testing Admin, Manager, and Standard User accounts on localhost—is currently very frustrating. When logging into a secondary account in another tab within the same Edge window, the newly created authentication token overwrites the existing cookies, localStorage, and session context across all open tabs for that domain. This causes the first tab to automatically switch sessions upon refresh or navigation, breaking side-by-side workflow testing. Mozilla Firefox solves this problem cleanly with Multi-Account and Temporary Containers, allowing tabs inside the same window to maintain fully isolated storage contexts. Bringing native container tabs or tab-level session isolation to Microsoft Edge, especially tightly integrated with Tab Groups, would eliminate the need to run multiple heavy browser profiles or separate windows. It would make Edge the absolute premier browser for developers, QA engineers, and power users who manage multiple user roles daily. Please consider adding tab-level container isolation to the Edge product roadmap.
CSS layout broken on Edge Mobile (Android/iOS) — fine on other mobile browsers Mobile
Our website rendering is severely broken on Edge Mobile, while displaying correctly across all other major mobile browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The visual layout and styling degrade in Edge Mobile, making key components distorted or misaligned. Target Website: https://somnathyatra.com | Tested on Android / iOS using the latest version of Microsoft Edge Mobile compared against Chrome and Firefox. Steps to reproduce: Open https://somnathyatra.com on a mobile device using Microsoft Edge Mobile, then compare the layout, font alignment, and container structure against Chrome or Firefox on the same device to observe the layout breakage. Could this be related to a specific WebKit/Blink engine rendering difference in Edge Mobile, or a missing CSS vendor prefix / CSS Grid bug specific to the Edge mobile app? Any guidance on CSS overrides or specific Edge Mobile browser compatibility fixes would be greatly appreciated!android links
I use edge on my desktop and would like to use it on my android phone. I use Opera on my android because it allows me to save a website link to the home screen with the correct icon for that page. If I try to do the same thing with edge it simply produces a plain icon with a single character (probably the first letter of the link), which means there are several such links all with the same character, which are indistinguishable from each other. Is there a workaround?
Edge Color Limitations for Workspaces
Earlier today, I installed the latest Edge updated and noticed that my color options for themes has been severely limited, with very poor choices. I am a heavy user of Workspaces in Edge and rely on colors to quickly identify each workspace that I use for different projects. Previously, I had a mixture of dark and light colors assigned to different workspaces that were a quick visual identifier. To get any sort of color separation, I now need to go with the light color theme to identify my workspaces. These colors are not as distinctive for me and the dark therme colors are so close together in the color palette, there is absolutely no distinction. Additionally, the new light theme even makes the tabs within the brwser harder to differentiate or distinguish. The tab icons are too softened and difficult to discern. While I don't mind suggestions or options for my personal settings, I do not appreciate being artificially limited to what the Microsoft design team has determined to be aesthetically pleasing. This should be a matter of choice. No one is a better expert on what works best for me than myself. Lately, I'm noticing in multiple Microsoft applications, visual design changes are being made arbitraily that negatively impact my daily workflow, with no added benefit.
Webview2 exe missing after edge update
After the recent edge update, the webview2 exe is not updated together. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\151.0.4129.59\msedgewebview2.exe is missing. This breaks webview2 apps on Windows. Is there some change to location of webview2? Any new API to get the location of the new webview2, or this is a genuine bug that need to be resolved by Microsoft?Dutch grammar option disabled in Edge Writing Assistance
I am testing Microsoft Edge Writing Assistance with Microsoft Editor enabled. On both a clean unmanaged Windows 11 device and a managed Windows 11 device, Dutch shows Enhanced spell check as available, but the Grammar toggle remains disabled. When hovering over the Grammar toggle, Edge shows a not-allowed icon. This does not seem to be caused by enterprise policy, because the same behavior happens on a clean device without corporate policies. Dutch is listed by Microsoft as supporting spell check, grammar check and writing refinements in Microsoft Editor. Can someone confirm whether Dutch grammar is currently supported in the built-in Edge Writing Assistance experience? If it is supported, is there an additional Edge setting, policy, account requirement or language component needed to enable the Dutch Grammar toggle? Thanks.
Enhanced Security hinders performance of WASM applications (Including Blazor)
Hi, is there any official advice on what to do about "enhanced security" absolutely nuking performance of WASM? https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/48754 https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/56806 These existing tickets that were closed on the AspNetCore side, and it's been many years it seems and this is still an issue? I've submitted feedback through edge on this before but I have no way of knowing if this has been answered/looked at. We have a user who's required to have it on by policy and can't add it to the whitelist, and it's causing a pretty severe performance degradation. It just seems odd to me that the same company can produce two tools, and one of them absolutely breaks the other with seemingly no way to manage the downside at all.Feature Request: Add toggle to fully disable VideoOverlayToolbar (video overlay buttons)
In recent Microsoft Edge versions, a built-in VideoOverlayToolbar appears automatically on top of web videos. It contains Picture-in-Picture, Video Enhancement, Video Summary, Video Translation buttons. Current limitations: 1. We can only disable the corresponding functions, but cannot hide these overlay buttons on video. 2. Legacy flag #edge-video-super-resolution is removed. 3. Launch parameter --disable-features=VideoOverlayToolbar no longer works on new Edge builds. Request: Add a unified switch in Edge Settings to let users completely hide this entire overlay toolbar, to avoid covering video content and improve viewing experience.[Feature Request] Edge for Business-Extension Policy-blank minimum version breaks ExtensionSettings.
Hi, I have a Core Edge for Business policy, where I manage settings and extensions for majority of users in my company. I was adding an extension to it to Allow an extension being installed. By default when You choose extension from a store it is getting added to GUI with setting "Allow". After that when I edit entry for this addon and tried to add minimum version (8.6 in Edge store, while schema is #.#.#) I decided not to add it to not overcomplex settings. I have saved the settings. Few second later all my extensions were gone, some users reported same problems. Luckly I have quickly reverted the changes so policies did not update for everyone. Replication steps: Under Edge://policy I have identified that ExtensionSettings report Error: Error at ExtensionSettings.hfaciehifhdcgoolaejkoncjciicbemc.minimum_version_required: Schema validation error: Invalid value for string Json shows: "hfaciehifhdcgoolaejkoncjciicbemc": { "installation_mode": "allowed", "minimum_version_required": "", "override_update_url": false, "toolbar_state": "default_hidden" }, In GUI there is no clue about it, looks like not configured, when saving all goes "green". Extensions are getting uninstalled. Once reverted some extensions are back and require reconfiguration. I.e. Passsbolt asks for recovery key. Please if possible add a feature to validate such settings to not allow saving : "minimum_version_required": "" as in some cases in production it might be a nightmire ( Imagine reconfiguring ## addons times #### Users ).
Edge beta crashes after 5 seconds on some old versions of Windows 10
We have problems with Edge Beta versions 151.0.4129.15, 151.0.4129.21 and 151.0.4129.35. On launch Microsoft Edge briefly opens and then closes (like in 5 seconds) on Windows 10 RS1/RS2/RS3. I can't reproduce problem on other versions of Windows 10, such as TH1 or RS4
Solution for PWAs not appearing as separate apps on Linux taskbars
Hi everyone, I recently Installed Microsoft Edge stable on Kubuntu Linux, and I ran into some problems using Progressive Web Applications (PWAs). Launch one Edge PWA (say, Microsoft Teams). It appears normally. Launch a second PWA (say, Microsoft Outlook). Both windows — and every PWA you launch afterward — collapse into a single taskbar group under the first PWA’s icon, identified as msedge. Pinned PWA launchers never show as running. Pinning a running PWA window produces a generic page icon that launches the bare Edge browser when clicked. Launching a PWA from the application menu briefly shows the launcher’s startup placeholder in the taskbar, which then disappears and is replaced by a separate, unassociated entry. This isn’t KDE-specific. GNOME users have also reported issues. After some troubleshooting with Claude, the issues were traced to a mismatch between how the PWAs are identified in the .desktop PWA launchers created by Edge and the app ids reported to Wayland, starting in September 2025, when Wayland was used by default. Identifier Value Example (Microsoft Outlook) Window app_id (native Wayland) msedge-_<appid>-Default msedge-_lkkahpbimdkjdjjiijflmhaeameegbcm-Default Desktop entry filename msedge-<appid>-Default msedge-lkkahpbimdkjdjjiijflmhaeameegbcm-Default StartupWMClass= in that file crx__<appid> crx__lkkahpbimdkjdjjiijflmhaeameegbcm So the solution is StartupWMClass in the .desktop launcher for the PWA to the Wayland app_id. I have a simple Bash script that will do this for all currently installed PWAs as a workaround, but the automod removed that post the last time I tried to post it. The suggested fix for Microsoft This should be a small change to Edge’s desktop-entry generation on Linux: write the Wayland app_id (msedge-_<appid>-<profile>) into StartupWMClass=, or better, make the window app_id match the desktop entry basename per the freedesktop convention. No compositor-side changes are needed — the verified workaround above demonstrates that. I’ve reported this through Edge’s in-browser feedback tool (Alt+Shift+I) with the full diagnosis. If you’re affected, sending your own feedback referencing the same details is the best way to get it prioritized — the in-browser channel is what reaches the Edge team’s triage.Edge version 150 JavaScript speechSynthesis.getVoices() undefined voices
For the past few days JavaScript speechSynthesis has had a problem in Edge browser. Sometimes it gets the proper list of voices but most of the time it returns: "Microsoft undefined Online (Natural) - undefined" for every single Natural voice. It then uses the default voice (Microsoft David) for speaking the utterance. Can you fix this bug? Edge Version 150.0.4078.83 (Official build) (64-bit) Thank you.New Canary Edge issue
Since the latest update to .4157 on Canary Edge the browser window behavior has changed. I always have 2 browsers open, Edge Canary and AOL. I can switch easily between the 2 from the Taskbar. Starting today if I go to AOL and then try to go back to Canary instead of opening the whole browser it gives me the option of going back to 2 of 3 browser tabs I have open. What has changed?Edge Block/Add Site Notification - How to Disable with GPO?
Hello, I haven't been able to find answers anywhere so far to figuring this out. Currently looking into using GPO for disabling the Block/Allow to send site notifications tabs found in Privacy, search, and services -> Site permissions -> All permissions -> Notifications. I have been able to block to turn off notifications for all websites by default and block the "Ask before sending" notification settings in the same menu as mentioned above. I did so by creating a GPO with the following settings: Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Edge -> Content Settings After navigating to this folder, I opened the "Default Notification Setting" setting. Inside of it I switched it to Enabled and Don't allow any site to show Desktop notifications. I have already looked at the "Allow notifications on specific sites" and the "Block notifications on specific sites" settings, however these just allow you to add websites that you want to block or allow that the user cannot remove. I have discovered that putting a wildcard "*" into the "Block notifications on specific sites" settings values will not allow the user to add any more sites to the list. However this still leaves the user to add any site they wish to the "Allow notifications from specific sites" setting, which is the main concern considering all sites should have notifications disabled. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution or workaround? This works in Chrome, but Edge has been difficult Thanks.
CSS scrollbars
Hi, I noticed that Edge 150.0.4078.65 on Windows 11 does not appear to render the "scrollbar-color" and "scrollbar-width" styles from the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Scrollbars_styling. See demo page: https://css-scrollbars-skobescr.yoyo.codes/, where all scrollbars appear in the default style. This surprised me for a couple of reasons: (1) "Can I Use" claims (mistakenly?) that Edge suppports this feature. (2) Other Chromium-based browsers support this feature. I'm curious if this is a regression, a deliberate product decision, or something we may expect to see added in the future.Crash when submitting web page input fields with soft keyboard Enter
### Summary Microsoft Edge Canary for Android crashes when submitting web page input fields using the Android soft keyboard Enter key. GitHub search is one stable reproduction case, but this is not GitHub-specific. I have also reproduced similar crashes on other websites with text input/search fields. ### Environment - App: Microsoft Edge Canary for Android - Package: `com.microsoft.emmx.canary` - Version: `152.0.4142.0` - Version code: `414200023` - Device: vivo V2417A - Android SDK: 36 - ABI: arm64-v8a ### Reproduction case 1. Open Microsoft Edge Canary on Android. 2. Navigate to `https://github.com/`. 3. Tap the GitHub search box. 4. Type any text. 5. Press Enter on the Android soft keyboard. ### Expected behavior The input/search action should be submitted normally. ### Actual behavior Edge Canary crashes immediately after pressing Enter. ### Scope This does not appear to be specific to GitHub. The same type of crash can also be triggered on other websites when submitting text input/search fields using the Android soft keyboard Enter key. GitHub is used here as a minimal stable repro because it is easy to test. ### Crash information Exception: ```text java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 24 out of bounds for length 0 ``` Relevant stack trace: ```text java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:434) android.view.ViewGroup.getAndVerifyPreorderedView(ViewGroup.java:3873) android.view.ViewGroup.gatherTransparentRegion(ViewGroup.java:7438) android.view.ViewRootImpl.performTraversals(ViewRootImpl.java:5207) android.view.Choreographer.doFrame(...) ``` ### Notes - Reproduced directly on the Android phone. - Trigger appears related to submitting web page input/search fields via the Android soft keyboard Enter key.
