Edge always open favorites in new tab is missing
Edge always open favorites in new tab has been removed, even if --enable-features=msFavoritesOpenInNewTabSetting is added to the launch command I don't understand why such a nice feature is hidden, or even not allowed for us to use, I'm disappointed, really disappointed, hurry up and add it back, no matter how you enable this feature I promise, if you add this feature back, there must be a lot of people who will come back to EdgekinmferFeb 11, 2025Brass Contributor32Views0likes2CommentsWhite screen flash when switching to foreground
Windows 11 Dev build 26120 Edge Beta build 133.0.3065.39 This happens every time I switch it to foreground. It's really annoying and hurting my eyes. I searched for this problem but other people seem to encounter it only on startup, page refresh or new tab. This is probably not a hardware related problem because I have switched to a new PC and reinstalled Windows but still seeing this.uHioVKFeb 11, 2025Copper Contributor26Views0likes1CommentI just freshly install Win11, 24H2. but Edges is acting weird, I can't update, reinstall, remove.
However, I can install Chrome/Firefox. Help! I tried to remove the program and repair it, but the installer just disappears. I can still use the pre-installed Edge browser on my Win11, but I can't install addons from the Google Extension store. anyone know the issue?okezumiFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor12Views0likes0CommentsNew feature: Smooth pinch-style zooming using mousewheel.
I really miss the smooth zooming that you get from pinch gestures on touchpad or touchscreen when using my desktops that have only a mouse with a wheel. The Ctrl+wheel style zooming has its place but 90% of the time if you just want to quickly enlarge and image or focus on a part of the page with small text the fast and smooth zoom-in-read then zoom-out of pinch style is so much nicer. With a mouse wheel that is smooth itself like my Logitech ones it would be a nice smooth action all round. Could Alt+wheel be used to trigger the smooth zoom? Leaving the current Ctrl+wheel one unchanged for people who are used to it.paradyneFeb 10, 2025Brass Contributor4.4KViews3likes3CommentsIncorrect touch coordinates on the internal screen of Honor Magic V2
Problem description: On the Honor Magic V2 smartphone, when using the internal screen in an unfolded state, Microsoft Edge incorrectly registers touch input. The touch position is shifted by approximately 5 mm vertically, making the browser nearly unusable. Details: Edge works correctly on the external screen when the device is folded. All other applications (system apps and those from the Play Store) work without this issue, confirming that screen calibration is correct. The problem persists after reinstalling Edge and clearing the cache. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Microsoft Edge on a Honor Magic V2. 2. Unfold the phone and use the internal screen. 3. Try tapping on elements in the browser. 4. Notice that the touch coordinates are vertically offset (up) by approximately 5 mm. Expected behavior: Touch input should be registered at the correct coordinates, as it works in other apps and on the external screen. Device and software details: Microsoft Edge version: 132.0.2957.129 Android version: 15 Device: Honor Magic V2 Additional information: The issue persists the standard, Beta and Canary versions of Edge.16Views0likes0Comments[Request Feature] Ability to change PWA name on Apps Manager page.
At this point we do want to make any website behave like an application. It only has to be added as an application with the possibility of setting a name from the beginning. This is useful when you have more than one profile in the browser. I can install the web X for profile 1 with the name X-1 and the same web X for profile 2 with the name X-2. But the problem is when I install a PWA whose name is already set. And it is not possible to change it from any page. So when I want to install Outlook for my 3 profiles, I'm left with the same name for all 3 profiles preventing quick identification. My proposal would be to allow the App Manager to change the name of the PWA and thus better identify it from the start menu and also from the shortcuts that are created.cjaviersaldanaFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor6.5KViews9likes11CommentsTouchpad swipe gestures not working on Linux
Touchpad gestures not working in linux - swiping back and forth with two fingers isn't doing anyting. Both Flatpak and rpm package. Firefox gestures working fine, so it's not system issue.

It appears the secret Microsoft Edge Surf Game has its own secret features. In the source code, there are images such as the jet ski, and I was wondering if it was possible to use it. You can see other players using it, but can we? Could we code it in (I would but JavaScript isn't my thing)? There is also a cat man, which some research told me that you can get by doing a sequence as soon as you open the game. But, he also appears once you open 100+ new tabs: microsoft-hides-a-ninja-cat-easter-egg-in-microsoft-edge-for-android.jpg (340×180) (softpedia.com There is also a dog which you can rescue, but what does it actually do? I am here to figure out the lore behind this game!bennyrobertFeb 09, 2025Copper Contributor36KViews3likes33CommentsDiscussion - Set Aside Tabs and Warn on Close
Hi Insiders, we have received a lot of feedback about how you would like to close your tabs with the option of easily finding and reopening them later as you move between different workflows. Specifically, many of you are asking for the Tab Set Aside feature from the previous version of Microsoft Edge to be brought back. Some of you are also asking for a prompt to help avoid losing all your tabs such that you can’t find them again if you accidentally close the browser. • Ask users if they want to close all tabs when they close a browser window • Bring the tab set aside feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge Each of these requests seem related to the fact that many of you have a lot of tabs open at once across many tasks and workflows. This leads to a situation where it can often be difficult to manage all of your tabs at the same time, and each additional tab makes it difficult to deal with all of the rest (e.g. tabs get smaller, harder to read each titles, many similar tab icons begin to blur together, etc.). But it can also be scary to close tabs and declutter your workspace, for fear of not being able to find things again later if you need to. We have definitely experienced this problem ourselves, observed it in our research and conversations with users, and agree it is an area where we want to invest in tools to help you be more productive across various tasks. We are actively investigating the best way to address this problem and would love your help and input as we proceed to make sure we get the experience just right. We have looked through your feedback, and there are definitely some very valid reasons for why there was value in the Set Aside feature such as: Helping you pick up on a task later without leaving the tabs open when you aren’t using them, organizing your tabs into groups related to a similar task, and a short term home for more transient tasks that didn’t warrant saving in a permanent location such as Favorites. We also reviewed feedback on the Set Aside feature itself from people actually using it in the previous version of Microsoft Edge, and there were some very valid critiques on how it worked and how it could be improved. For example, the Set Aside buttons being in a location where they were often accidentally clicked causing some to think their tabs had disappeared, requests to be able to set aside a subset of the currently open tabs rather than “all or nothing”, or requests to rename and personalize tab groups further to more easily find them again later. The request for a prompt before closing the browser also feels related, because if people could always confidently find and reopen any of their previous tabs, then there would be less fear or concern about losing tabs if they are accidently closed. This would allow people to feel free to declutter and reduce the number of open tabs with no fear about finding them later if needed, and more easily focus on the subset of tabs they are working on now. As we begin this journey of investigating how best to address these requests, we are asking for your help. Please continue to tell us more about your experience with Set Aside and closing tabs in Microsoft Edge, why these features are important to you in which types of tasks, what did and didn’t work for you about previous implementations, and how you would improve on these scenarios going forward.Elliot KirkFeb 08, 2025Microsoft82KViews69likes337Comments
