HEVC Main 10 video playback is heavily stuttering
Hi! I am using Edge 87 on Windows 10 20H2 with HEVC plug-in installed from Microsoft store. Like the title mentioned, HEVC Main 10 video playback became heavily stuttering during recent updates. I can observed this issue in nextcloud video player or Jellyfin media server. As you can see in the attachment, there is no frame drops in the stats for nerds but the videos is indeed stuttering. I tried to reinstall HEVC plug-in and the graphical driver from AMD and NVIDIA with no luck. If anyone can help me look into this, I would be very appreciated! Contexts: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 Edge 87 stable, 88 dev HEVC plug-in 1.0.33242.0 AMD Vega 8 APU and driver 20.11.2 WHQL NVIDIA GTX 1660 and driver 457.51 WHQL
Proposal: AI‑Powered News Reliability Label for Microsoft Edge
AI‑Powered News Reliability Label for Microsoft Edge Problem: Digital news often contains misleading or exaggerated content, especially in tabloid-style articles that use sensational headlines, omit context, or distort facts to drive clicks. This creates a consumer harm because users waste time on low-quality content, misinformation spreads easily, and trust in online information continues to decline. Digital news is monetised, yet unlike physical products, it has no transparency standards. Proposed Solution: Introduce an optional, user-controlled AI reliability label that appears above online news articles in Microsoft Edge. This label would analyse the article using AI and assign a simple colour-coded reliability score: 🟩 Green — High Reliability 🟨 Yellow — Missing Context 🟧 Orange — Low Reliability 🟥 Red — Click-bait / Misleading Content The label would not block or hide content. It simply provides transparency so users can make informed decisions. Why This Is Safe: • Optional (off by default) • Does not restrict access • Does not censor or demote publishers • AI-generated analysis, not editorial judgement • Equivalent to a “nutrition label” for information Benefits to Users: • Helps avoid misleading content • Builds trust • Saves time • Improves digital literacy • Reduces exposure to sensationalism Benefits to Microsoft Edge: • Differentiates Edge from other browsers • Demonstrates responsible AI leadership • Provides a meaningful use of Copilot • Aligns with Microsoft’s safety and trust principles • Could become an industry standard Technical Feasibility: Microsoft already has the required components: Edge integration, Copilot models, SmartScreen-style UI patterns, and Responsible AI frameworks. Summary: This feature enhances user trust, improves digital literacy, and positions Edge as the first browser to address the growing problem of misleading online content—without restricting access or interfering with press freedom.
Favicons for bookmarks broken since Edge v149 update
I've recently had Edge update to the v149.0.4022.52 stable-channel releases, and ALL my bookmarks now have no favicons. When I visit any webpage, Edge successfully loads the favicon for the tab of that website. But when I visit a bookmark, the favicon doesn't get updated after it has loaded for the site. And new bookmarks I add also don't show a favicon. If I go into my Edge profile-folder (which can found via edge://profile-internals/ , clicking the heading, then looking next to "Profile Path"), then it is still creating the "Favicon" and "Favicons-journal" files, but I assume isn't populating them with anything? I've tried deleting both files, restarting my PC, but even after Edge recreates them, no bookmarks are gaining any favicons. Is anyone else getting this issue...?

Kiosk Mode
Hi, We are running Edge in Kiosk mode and I am trying to find information how to configure it for our specific requirements in an Enterprise environment. Requirements: URLAllowlist: "domainA.com", "domainB.com" URLBlocklist: "*" User must be able to access downloads from Edge User must be able to right click to save an image for example from a website User must be able to print Edge configuration: msedge.exe --kiosk https://domainA.com --edge-kiosk-type=public-browsing Is this specific configuration even possible with the latest version? I am running: Version 148.0.3967.83 (Official build) (64-bit)EdgeUpdater Popup on Intune Managed Macs
A new popup occurs routinely throughout the day since last week, approximately May 6th. "EdgeUpdater" would like to access data from other apps. MacOS Tahoe26.4.1 & Edge 148.0.3967.54 It doesn't matter if I **allow** or **don't allow**, it keeps popping back up. Anyone else having this problem or know how to make it go away? I have checked with others, it doesn’t happen on non-managed Macs. Only seems to be those with Intune.
Persistent issues with Read Aloud in Edge
I have Windows 11. Today I began having an issue wherein the Read Aloud feature built into Edge doesn't work. I was initially trying to use a similar function on Internet Archive, and noticed that while all the Microsoft voices seemed to be available in the onsite dropdown, the only voices that made any sound were David, Mark, and Zira---none of the "Online (Natural)" voices. I tried to use Read Aloud as a workaround, and found all the buttons greyed out completely. Mind you, everything worked fine yesterday, and I made no changes to my computer in the intervening time. I've opened up two support tickets, but neither live chat agent was able to resolve the issue. Here are the things I've tried with their help: trying the feature on different websites updating & restarting Edge resetting Edge settings to defaults updating & restarting computer switching wifi networks connecting to a hotspot using InPrivate mode using a new Edge profile (rule out interference from extensions) checking that English tts is downloaded in Time & language > Language & region turning Online speech recognition off and back on again resetting experimental features checking sound systems (they work, but just in case) doing a system reset (?) to 24 hours ago, which took about an hour and undid all the updates I just mentioned maybe something else I don't remember? The next thing I am going to try is give my computer a long nap. It's been a while, so maybe it just needs some shut eye. Otherwise, help????
