Hi Surya,
The Edge Features so many people are mentioning have not been removed. They are not in, YET. One specific that I know 1st hand, the Team IS aware of the need for Run/Save/Cancel. They are, also, aware of "The List" of items being mentioned repeatedly by person after person. They are working on the stuff. We are with the understanding that it is all coming, albeit, piecemeal. I grant you it's troubling, a real concern when this stuff appears to be 'missing', ignored or neglected. But, it's like the fun of Christmas & discovering each new thing under the tree or in the toe of a stocking. Never know what "Oh, good we have that, now." will be there next. It has been suggested it'll all be there by the time Edge C goes GA or Stable Gold or whatever the non-Insider, non-beta release is tagged. It's a big, job to have it all right & appealing, must be done in steps & layers and it DO take time! You, always, will see things in Canary the earliest.
That said, do keep letting the Team know what the 'Must-haves' are, here or via Feedback. The more similar comments they receive the better.
Cheers,
Drew
- Some websites like Google Photos, YouTube, Facebook, Spotify web, Telegram messaging, Whatsapp etc are more like an app than a normal website say like this forum or a web article.
installing sites as an app like PWA (Progressive Web Apps) lets you pin that one site to the start menu or taskbar and use it as a normal app. because those websites are designed that way to be standalone and feature rich, and they are Very similar to their actual phone app like Android Spotify app is very similar to the Spotify website/app.
so instead of installing Sptofiy app from Windows store, one can just go to the Spotify web player and pin it as a PWA to the taskbar and use it the same way.
it also won't need as much space as the traditional app and it gets updated automatically and rather fast because of it's online nature. Dan_AI4GK
Yes, Dan, that's pretty much it. It, whatever it is, now is treated like an app, behaves & looks like one. And is outside of a browser. The 'big deal' is it ends up independent, just it alone... no web page stuff. Of course, many things, already, are available as apps... for example Twitter from the Store. It's the same thing as 'web Twitter' but, clean, pure Twitter & its own window, no browser needed or involved. Frankly, (to me) it makes sense or is cool for something like Twitter, but, not for web sites, in general. You wouldn't convert everything, arbitrarily, certainly. But, for certain things, it can be preferred.
Cheers,
Drew
