Announcing a new way to paste URLs, Link format!
MissyQ No, just no !
Pourquoi vous faites ça ?
Quand je partage un lien, je veux avoir l'image preview, le titre et la description pas juste du texte.
A quoi servent les twitter card, ... avec votre trucs ? C'est incompréhensible pour tout le monde.
Quand je partage un lien sur Slack, mes interlocuteurs ne savent pas où cliquer pour aller voir le lien que je partage. Avec une image, un titre et une description, c'était bien mieux.
J'espère vraiment que cette nouvelle façon de copier/coller des liens sera enlevé ou au moins qu'elle ne sera pas utilisé par défaut. Ctrl+V = Plain Text & Ctrl+Shift+V = votre f*** fonction.
Without seem better !
Nico_Popy Merci!
I will respond in English as my French is not the best (though I understood most of your post by reading it and the rest I was able to translate with Microsoft Translator on Bing).
As Missy points out in the original post, our research showed that many users prefer a human readable link than a long URL even with a preview. However, we also found that some users really do appreciate the preview that some sites generate, as you clearly do. You are not alone :).
In our testing, we have found that most sites that generate a preview image still do with the new link format. That's not 100% consistent however. Thank you for letting us know that you use Twitter and Slack and that you would appreciate previews for those sites as well, even with the new format.
We of course will follow up with Twitter and Slack regarding generating previews for the new Link format and we will follow up with other sites we find either in our testing or via feedback (so please keep the feedback coming)!
Finally, if you prefer the plain text format which will result in previews generated by Twitter and Slack, more often than you prefer the link format, you can always change your default back to Plain Text in edge://settings/shareCopyPaste
Merci boucoup!
