Edge: DNS Flush
I ran into a persistent "resolving host" issue on one of my computers this weekend and worked my way through the usual resolution steps (W10 DNS flush (ipconfig /flushdns), browser DNS flush and so on) in order to clean up the various DNS caches and start with a clean slate. It does not appear that Edge DNS flush (edge://net-internals/#dns, similar to chrome://net-internals/#dns or opera://net-internals/#dns) is operative. The "Clear host cache" button shows up but doesn't seem to be functioning: I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but it is a difference from other Chromium-based browsers I've had the occasion to use.
Edge sync with Google Account
Hello! So, I've been using Chrome for like 10 years, and now I've heard about Edge from a friend, and I wanted to switch browsers. But all my passwords, bookmarks and history stuff are synced with my google account. I also have an android phone, which came with Chrome and Google apps, and I like the fact that Google from desktop brings me all the passwords and others on my phone. The question is if I can sync all Edge things in my google account, to keep them present everywhere. It is pretty hard to me to break up with all the google services, since I'm using Gmail, Google Drive, Youtube and others, and bing gives me poor searching results in romanian, comparing to google. Sorry if the whole thing sounded like an ad for google, but I'm wondering if I can sync edge with a google account. Peace!
Back button broken after 102.xxx
We have a Browser Document management System -you can search for 'cases'' and see a list of matching 'folders' for the cases. Clicking on a case produces a document list - mainly PDFs it displays PDFs inside a LEAD Tools viewer. Up to version 101.xxx the back button from the viewer returned to the document list. from version 102.xxx you return to the list of cases. The forward button gets back to the document list. It seems like the Edge Back button in this case is skipping a page. I have rolled a test PC back and forth between Edge 101.0.1210.53 and 102.0.1245.33 and totally confident that this is caused by the different versions of Edge - everything else remains the same - but obviously a rare use case as PDFs opening inside Edge are OK - it is just when we use the LEAD Tools viewer, so some sort of clash going on. The Viewer is in a frameset - running that page outside a frameset page works fine, so it is something in how the "back" button deals with frameset pages is at fault (And yes, IMHO using framsets is the main issue, but this is a bought in package, so I can't change it)
How the new Edge will handle file:// URI ?
file: links seems to be ignored in this version of Edge (like they are in Chrome). In the previous versionof Edge however (and all IE versions), clicking on a file: link opens the original document. This is why by the way we are still using IE / Edge at my office. A lot of important intranet applications allow users to upload document and modify them later. Using Chrome, the document has to be downloaded locally before editing, and then re-uploaded after editing. With IE/Edge, the original document opens in Word/Excel/Acrobat in edit mode. The user just have to press CTRL+S to save it. I really hope Edge will keep this behavior.
