Note: This is no longer the most recent top feedback summary. You can always find the latest at https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback. Hey everyone, back again with another update to our top feedback summary. This week we don’t have any newly addressed feedback, but we do have two new items on the list. First, we’re hearing feedback that you are interested in seeing the OneNote Web Clipper extension in the Microsoft Edge Insider Addons store. We will look into the status of getting this extension into our store, but in the meantime you can install it from the Chrome Web Store. To do so, open Settings and more (…) and choose Extensions. If it’s not enabled already, toggle Allow extensions from other stores and when prompted choose Allow. Now you can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store including the OneNote Web Clipper. We’re also getting feedback about feedback . . . specifically the ask to be able to remove the send feedback “smiley” button from the toolbar. While we love getting your feedback, we’ll take this request under consideration and have a response soon. Here is the full updated list of top feedback: Status Feedback On this list for Planned for October A round of improvements to scrolling experience, with more (including performance) to come down the line 7 weeks Planned for October Inking for PDF files 7 weeks Planned for October Provide the ability to change the title of tiles on the new tab page 7 weeks Planned for October Need for better handling of links when there is more than one profile 7 weeks Planned for October Option to set a custom photo as the New Tab Page background photo 7 weeks Planned for November Enable search in the extensions store 7 weeks Under Review Bring the OneNote Web Clipper to the Microsoft Edge extensions store New!

David Rubino Thank you! for the Canary folks reading this, you can go ahead and remove Send Feedback smiley button from the toolbar already if you're on the latest update: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Now-you-can-Hide-the-Feedback-Smiley-button-in-Edge-insider/m-p/900579 so not sure why Mr. Rubino said that they are still considering it! anyway 🙂 Here we go again: Please don't pass the google integration, keep this browser Pure from data miner companies. Thank you!

HotCakeX good eye! You can also right-click the smiley itself to hide it, just like the favorites menu button.

David Rubino While we love getting your feedback, we’ll take this request under consideration and have a response soon. Speaking of response soon, can we please have a response soon on how the UI is going to be changed? There have been requests to bring back the menu buttons layout like how old edge was and to make the InPrivate button blue and square. Can we please have a response. I for one would like to see it be much closer to the old edge than google chrome.

David Rubino I CANNOT believe that I still have to manually pull up the handwriting input panel when I'm using my Surface with a pen!

  joshcsmith13 I agree. Pen/ink support for address bar would be a step in the "natural digital" direction 🙂 (And I just posted feedback about it)

David Rubino actually I sent a feedback about the automatic screenshot when you use the feedback button always appears all black, I don't know if you're working on it, because I'm eager to send you more feedback.

Thank you!

for the Canary folks reading this, you can go ahead and remove Send Feedback smiley button from the toolbar already if you're on the latest update:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Now-you-can-Hide-the-Feedback-Smiley-button-in-Edge-insider/m-p/900579

so not sure why Mr. Rubino said that they are still considering it!

anyway 🙂

Here we go again:

Please don't pass the google integration, keep this browser Pure from data miner companies.

Thank you!

  Whoa... Was reading this and seeing the Mr. Smiley being able to be removed from tool bar and I look up and he is gone!! EEEEkkkk.. I want him right where he was.. Fortunately you can find him under "Help and Feedback" and right click to show on tool bar.....
  
  And I agree.... Lets keep the "Data Miners" (Google) out of here!
