Windows Edge not forgetting email address.
On one of my Windows 10 computers, I no longer want my email address associated with it. I did the following: 1- I signed out of the Microsoft account on my PC and logged in as a local account. 2- Under Email and Accounts, I deleted my email account shown in control panel. None show any longer. 3- All windows and credentials for windows and web were removed. 4- Signed out of edge. 5- Repaired and edge. (Microsoft does not allow an uninstall.) 6- Told control panel to stop automatically sign in. Now when I start edge, a welcome screen shows. Edge wants you to sign in. It still shows the email address that I want my PC to forget. The profile won't delete. I created a second profile and switched to it hoping to delete the old, suggested email profile but my old, suggested email keeps showing up. To proceed, you do need credentials, but I just assume the PC does not show anything at all and that it forgets my email address. I do not want someone that I may let someone use my computer to even know my outlook email address. Microsoft Edge offers other way to credential the machine (SMS, emails etc.) I do not want anyone who is lent the machine sees any of this either. Why is Microsoft being so "helpful" when I don't want them to be. This is all a terrible security breach. I can't safely let someone use nor sell my computer without stripping down to the bare bones. And who know, will Microsoft tell the PC the email address since it has the serial number from the motherboard. (For those of you old enough do you remember when Intel put serial numbers in 80386 CPU? Deja vu?) Simply, how do I completely expunge my email from the computer altogether and stop this email stickiness?
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)Picture-in-Picture seek controls bypass MediaSession ad restrictions on YouTube
In Microsoft Edge, the Picture-in-Picture overlay exposes functional +10s/-10s seek controls during YouTube ad playback. The seek action advances the ad playhead even when YouTube has declared the seekforward action as unavailable via the Media Session API. Repro: InPrivate window, logged out of YouTube Play any video on youtube.com When pre-roll ad starts, click the in-player PiP icon Press +10s seek-forward on the PiP overlay Observed: a non-skippable NPCI ad followed by a Maggi ad were both bypassed in ~10 seconds of wall-clock time. The main <video> element briefly buffers during seek, consistent with HTMLMediaElement.currentTime being mutated directly rather than dispatched through the page's registered MediaSession action handlers. Cross-browser: verified the same flow in Google Chrome on the same Windows install. Seek-forward during ad playback does NOT advance the playhead, confirming YouTube's MediaSession setup is correct and isolating the issue to Edge's PiP implementation. Impact: affects any site using the Media Session API to restrict seek — live streams, DRM-protected content, ad-bound playback. Not YouTube-specific. Environment: Edge version: latest stable channel OS: Windows 11 - Chrome compared: latest stable channel
Add Secure DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS) Support to Edge Mobile
Hello Edge Team, I’ve noticed that while Edge desktop already supports Secure DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS), the mobile version currently lacks this option. Competing browsers like Chrome and Brave allow users to configure Secure DNS directly on mobile, which provides: Improved privacy by preventing ISP-level DNS snooping Consistency across platforms so Edge users enjoy the same protections on desktop and mobile User choice to select trusted DNS providers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, etc) Adding Secure DNS support in Edge mobile would strengthen Edge’s privacy posture and align it with modern browser standards. Could the team consider prioritizing this feature in upcoming Insider builds? I believe many users would welcome the option to configure Secure DNS directly within Edge mobile settings. Thank you for your continued work on making Edge a competitive and privacy‑friendly browser.
Propuesta para mejora de Microsoft Edge
Propuesta de mejora para Microsoft Edge: Configuración de carpeta predeterminada por sitio web Asunto: Solicitud de función: Carpeta predeterminada por sitio para cargas y descargas de archivos en Microsoft Edge Estimado equipo de Microsoft Edge: Quisiera proponer una mejora que sería de gran utilidad para profesionales que trabajamos con múltiples plataformas web que requieren la carga y descarga constante de documentos. Actualmente, Edge permite controlar permisos de acceso a archivos por sitio, pero no ofrece la posibilidad de asignar una carpeta predeterminada específica para cada página o dominio. Esta función sería especialmente valiosa en entornos legales, administrativos y gubernamentales, donde distintos portales requieren manejar documentos en rutas separadas para mantener orden, trazabilidad y eficiencia. Beneficios de la función solicitada Reducir tiempos de navegación al seleccionar carpetas en cada carga de archivo. Evitar errores al subir documentos desde carpetas equivocadas. Facilitar flujos de trabajo donde cada plataforma requiere carpetas distintas (por ejemplo: "Acceso" y "Firma"). Mejorar la productividad en sectores que dependen de múltiples portales judiciales, administrativos o corporativos. Propuesta técnica Agregar en la configuración de permisos por sitio una opción como: "Asignar carpeta predeterminada para cargas/descargas en este sitio" Esto permitiría que Edge recuerde automáticamente la carpeta seleccionada cada vez que el sitio solicite subir o guardar un archivo. Estoy seguro de que esta mejora beneficiaría a miles de usuarios que trabajamos diariamente con plataformas que requieren manejo intensivo de documentos. Agradezco su atención y quedo a disposición para aportar más detalles si son necesarios. Atentamente, Víctor Hugo Escobedo Barajas No soy programador, soy abogado y este modificación directo desde configuración por sitio ayudaría bastante a reducir el tiempo de revisión de mis actividades diarias.Next Update for Edge not compatible with my mac
Hi, so I'm so sorry if this isn't the right place or if I'm doing this wrong, but I'm kind of freaking out. So I use Edge on an older mac that cannot be updated as mac no longer supports updates for it. I was previously using Edge Dev and after an update got a message saying that the next update won't be compatible with my mac and I tried not to update but at some point Edge Dev restarted and thus updated and then it wouldn't open on my mac, so I switched back to regular Edge. After the last update on regular Edge, I got the same pop up saying that the next update won't be compatible with my mac and now I'm terrified that when that update comes out at some point Edge will restart and update and then I will lose my ability to use Edge. I love Edge as a browser and have so much stored in it. I have exported my passwords just in case, but am still super scared that I'll lose all the work I've put into Edge and that I'll just lose Edge as it's such a superior browser that I've come to rely on. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I can't afford to get a new computer right now and as I mentioned my Mac doesn't support updates. Any help would be unbelievably appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Extensions
I haven't really been paying attention to what does or does not work in Edge Dev and Canary recently. But today I had issues again with Canary. I completely cleaned out all the stored data and reinstalled it. I noticed that all the extensions disappeared. I went looking for them to replace the few I actually used and got a message telling me that they are no longer available for this version of Edge. I get the same message on Dev. But production Edge allows them to be turned on and added to. Has anyone else run into this or am I missing something in the setting that change and I have totally overlooked.
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.
