"Allow users to turn off the "Disable developer mode extensions" notification"
I'd rather an option to turn-off everything developer-related: like 98-99% of the world, I'm not a Web-Dev and have no-need to ever use "View page source" or "Inspect" in the right-click menu
"Allow more top sites on the New Tab Page"
Even-better, why not allow users to choose a URL for the New Tab page? Currently you can only do this via GPOs (in an enterprise setting) or via a third-party extension (everyone else)
"Provide an option to prevent auto-play of video and audio when you open a website"
Doesn't this already exist?
("..." menu > Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Media autoplay > Limit)
"Restore tabs if Edge or the OS is restarted for any reason"
On Windows, this should respect the "Automatically save my restartable apps when I sign out and restart them after I sign in" setting (Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options)
"Add ability to close tabs via double-click"
Given how long that discussion has grew, I'd say just add this already. As long as it ships off-by-default I see no issue: only people who actually want to use it will turn it on
"Enable additional options for viewing downloaded files, such as the bottom of the window"
Edge currently is inconsistent here: in a regular window, the new Download UI is used; in a pop-up window, the old UI is used. Pop-up window downloads should defer back to their parent and use the modern UI in my view...
