Microsoft Edge will not update on macOS
I posted this on another Microsoft forum, but is anyone else having problems with MS Edge updating automatically on macOS? The new installation method is similar to Chrome: you download the .DMG file and drag the Edge app package to the /Applications folder. Upon first launch, Edge deploys the EdgeUpdater files into my home directory (~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/EdgeUpdater), but updates are never run. Edge always reports that it's up to date, despite being a version or two behind. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks. Rich
Copilot Edge SideBar authentication
Hello, after Edge version 134.0.3124.72, the Copilot Edge SideBar requires authentication. That authentication calls EXO and SPO in the background which is asking users to respond to an MFA prompt. Is this by design in the new Edge or is there another way that Copilot SideBar only asks for authentication when opening it not by default when opening the browser. thank you
Severe Frame Drops in Microsoft Edge When Playing Tencent Video HEVC at 1080P in Windows
When playing HEVC videos from Tencent Video(https://v.qq.com) on Microsoft Edge (Windows), I experience severe frame drops at 1080P resolution. However, this issue does not occur when playing at 720P. Interestingly, Chrome does not exhibit the same problem when playing the same 1080P videos. I have saved the relevant video files for comparison. Is this a bug in Edge? Upon analyzing the files using Mp4Box.js, no significant differences were found. https://thumbplayer-76307.gzc.vod.tencent-cloud.com/testvideo/mp4/h265/ffmpeg_output_1080P.mp4 https://thumbplayer-76307.gzc.vod.tencent-cloud.com/testvideo/mp4/h265/ffmpeg_output_720P.mp4 AMD Ryezen7 4700G DDR4 3200 16x2 RTX 3050 8GB Windows 11 22H2 22621.4460Vertical tabs mode new tab button should be fixed position at the top of the tab strip
I feel I should start by saying thank you to the Edge UI/UX team. Yous really have made the best browser UI on the market and I really appreciate it. TL;DR version: when in vertical tabs mode, the new tab button should be at the top of the tab strip in a fixed position. I even made a quick mock of what this would look like Vertical tabs mode is best for users that have many tabs open, but for users that have many tabs open, that means the new tab button is almost always located at the bottom of the screen. That is a problem - especially for people trying vertical tabs mode for the first time - because the "cost" or "friction" of clicking the new tab button is much higher compared to what that person is used to. The user has to move the cursor too far and it takes too long to reach the new tab button all the way in the bottom left corner of the screen. It is a very large regression in UX efficiency and I'm very confident this is a big reason why so many users don't stick with vertical tabs. Below is a screenshot where I superimpose vertical tabs mode on top of normal horizontal tabs mode and drew a green arrow line so you can see where the user is used to the new tabs button being compared to the vertical tabs mode position. That is is a massive change and increase in cursor distance. Also, on desktop browsers, the buttons and UI are at the top of the screen. This isn't just muscle memory but also where the users eyes are accustomed to. But in Edge's vertical tabs mode, the new tab button is usually closer to the bottom of the screen, making it an odd outlier of a decades long unofficial "law". Safari has had a fixed position new tab button for many years, so we know this is a good and "safe" thing to do, there's no worries or risks with a fixed position new tab button. And Edge's vertical tabs already do the reverse gravity behaviour that would be needed for this, so this wouldn't be a lot of work!Notes App for Edge Sidebar
I am an avid Edge user in my personal and professional life. While I don't miss having a notes style app for the sidebar in my personal life, I do REALLY want a notes app for the Edge Sidebar. Nothing fancy or overly thought out. I just want to be able to write down a bullet list of important tasks I need to get done during my work day so they don't get lost. I've tried using a sticky note, but it blocks other aspects of my desktop and work space. It would be perfect in edge to just be able to have it there at all times in a single window. Consider this an official feature request! Thanks for all your hard work. Best, Micah

UpDate; As of todays update "Version 136.0.3203.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)" colors are all back on the settings page, except for the favorites bar folders.... Thanks for the fast fix. Dennis5mile Where's the Color? Since about 4 or so updates ago, Edge Canary settings page has had its blue button color removed.. WHY??? Also, the folder color in the Favorites bar has NO color... This plain outlined folders bite. Bring back yellow folders, or give us the ability to make them whatever color we want and bring back the setting pages button colors... Pls inform us what and why you are doing all this color removal... Dennis5mileFavorite Bars in Workspaces changed since this morning
Hi everyone! Since yesterday, all my Workspaces had their own favorite bars. When I reopened Edge this morning, I was shocked at first, because I thought my favorites had all disappeared. But it turns out they are now hidden under a folder on the left of the Favorites Bar, making it annoying and cumbersome to access them and the rest of the Favorites bar is now shared among Workspaces. I don't know if I accidentally changed an option but I couldn't find a way to revert it back to how it was. I also couldn't find any information on this being a new feature that was introduced yesterday. If it is, I really don't like it because I don't want to see my work related tabs when I am in my free time workspace and clicking an extra folder each time I want to access a workspace is really cumbersome. Has anyone else noticed this change? I really hope it is an option. 😅
