Add pdf editing mode
Apprantly, Microsoft Edge (old one) was my pdf reader/editor. It had great features such as adding notes, drawing on it. However, this chronium version do not have those. I really hope Microsoft adds...

Thank you DPSalphav for your feedback. We are looking at what features are most popular for our PDF support. We are also getting feedback on the usability of our controls. Can you tell me more about the problems that you are seeing with scrolling?
Thanks,
Elliot

It has partly got to do with how EdgeHTML/Spartan draws executes pdf/websites in one go vs how EdgeChromium views documents/html.
There has also always been a rather large problem with Chromium with the lack of utilisation of GPU acceleration for mobile devices with switchable graphics . i.e. iGPU (Intel HD 3000/4xxx) + dGPU (ATI/AMD 5xxx /6xxx etc).
Chromium keeps a "blacklist" of a lot of devices and automatically switches GPU acceleration off.
Whilst Chromium does indeed see that a switchable graphics solution is being used it however is not able to utilise the dGPU at all. via edge://gpu
If reports are needed I would be happy to assist.
