Two Feature Requests
The Built in Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 Emulation Rendering Mode right inside Microsoft Edge Canary is broken.
As of about October 31st 2019 this feature is broken.

for example if you scroll down to the bottom of the page where the long take ownership dos command is, This is displayed incorrectly now in Microsoft Edge Canary , whereas it used to be displayed properly in Microsoft Edge Canary.
you will notice that the long take ownership dos command is displayed in a text box with a side scrolling horizontal bar on the bottom of it. This is not how this web page is supposed to be displayed
the text in the long dos take ownership command line It is supposed to be displayed without a box and a scrollbar around it, and also it is supposed to be
displayed with word wrap on, and the text is supposed to go vertically down the web page instead of horizontally across the page.
Microsoft Edge Canary used to display this type of a web page correctly, which is without the scroll box and horizontal side scrolling bar at the bottom around the long dos text commands.
Displaying this type of web page correctly is important because, for example, if you try to print this web page (or others like it with long dos commands) when it is displayed wrong, the long dos take ownership command is cut off and you can't see it all, making it useless when printed.
So please fix this Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 Built-In Rendering Engine feature, built right into Microsoft Edge Canary, again so it works. Also make this a permanent feature for the new Edge browser please
Also another feature that would be great in Microsoft Edge Canary and also as a permanent feature for the new Microsoft Edge Browser , is to have the Shrink To Fit option when trying to print a web page, and also when saving a web page to a .PDF file.
No other browsers out there have these two very useful features, so please add them
Thank You for your consideration of these features

Brady, possibly you've not noticed all that's in the print controls with Edge C. It can save to PDF & it shrinks to fit, although, here it is called scaling. There's a bunch of choices in the top box with its scroll arrow. The red arrow at Less settings did say More settings. Hit that to see Scaling. It goes by 5s from 100% to zero.
Cheers,
Drew- Missed that too. But that is a bit of guesswork to get it to fit. The old Size to Fit was a lot easier. One-click and you knew it would fit.

Erik, I may have misunderstood... thought you hadn't found or seen any means to scale it down (or up). Yes, there was Shrink to Fit. On the other hand, scaling in Edge C offers increments of 5% whilst, Shrink to Fit in Edge is increments of 25%. I have oft found 5 or 10% is enough to bring 2 pages down to one, for example.
Cheers,
Drew
PDF files are scalable, when saving pages as PDF, you can set the scale option in the print pop up window.
when viewing it on any devices, depending on the PDF reader that you use, you can use the fit to page or fit to width option when viewing your PDF.
there are paper sizes when printing for PDF, the shrink to fit wouldn't make sense, it's not a desktop background.Also, there are websites that have custom layout, like for example a 3 column layout, the main content is in the middle and the rest like ads, site notes etc are on the sides. so how can print feature magically know which parts not to print and which parts to print and shrink.
the best option is to first turn that webpage into a proper format using Immersive reader mode and then print it from there.
I do agree that displaying the dos command in such a way that you see it all without scrolling is better. It makes reading an example code much easier. It can be frustrating to follow code when horizontally scrolling. Also, for printing, it is really good.
Through the shrink to fit is part of the windows printing dialog. So, I had to check it and indeed it is not in the C Edge printing interface and should be added.
