- The appearance of Edge is excellent and is eye-catching for young people, and I hope you continue to work hard to do better
- I like new bing, I hope that people in the Chinese region can also use it
- 每个人对于edge的需求是不一样的，也希望开发团队能够尊重每个人的选择，让用户自己设置，而不是强迫用户使用。
- While almost everyone here seems to be disliking the "Edge Copilot" Button, I can't even see it, it never showed up for me after updating to 111.0.1660.6 and even to 111.0.1660.9. Does anyone have an idea on what could cause this issue?
FYI, just noticed that the Split Screen option, previously only present in Edge Canary, is now also available in Edge Dev, via this flag:
- edge://flags/#edge-split-screen
When enabled, you will see a Split Screen icon in the Toolbar.

- - broke "open favorite in new tab"
- wasted space with useless border
- WTH is the ugly, unwanted and non-removable blue icon?
- where did profile switcher go?
- STOP CHANGING MY SETTINGS WITH UPDATES!!! the concept of new stuff is nice, but don't turn it on by default. Give me option to discover it when I can. I still use compter as a tool, a means to an end, all this clutter is unwanted.
Guys, really missed the boat with this update; who put in these requests? Feels like someone let marketing in the room and they demanded it to be prettier and make sure to shove Bing down their throats. People asked you for years to remove the bloody Profile icon when they only had one active profile to choose from. You ignored them.
You added this ridiculous, unremovable
DiscoverBing button that sends Bing information about the page I am browsing as soon as its moused over, regardless of the privacy settings I have enabled, and now the Profile button is magically gone, because it doesn't fit on my screen anymore.- lol. lmao even.
- Give us the option to permanently remove both from the toolbar.
That's the 2nd release in a row - that it is once again the top reply to your release notes. 3rd strike, you're out, I will dump the browser entirely and just go back to Chrome. It's the absolutely tone deaf combination of this stupid button magically making the profile button disappear that I thought was oh so necessary that was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.
oh, oh it gets even better? Why is there a ridiculous rounded border taking up 20 pixels around every tab?! The profile icon is still here, it's just way on the left now?!
HAHAHAHA. Fix it. Nobody wants these things.
the5ilence no, these changes are offensive and absolutely uncalled for. This type of UI/UX design is exactly the kind of thing that calls for this kind of user feedback, because being nice about it is ignored, and being nasty about it is probably ignored too, but the latter is more likely to get their attention.
innovative
- abdelfattah How often have you thought to yourself after you have created something "Thank you for being really nasty about this, this helped me more than constructive criticism"?
The current changes are only live a few days - how did "being nice" get ignored, when they didn't even have time to react? I've not once in my life experienced a problem that was solved by being nasty - except for people being angry and needing a valve to vent their anger without thinking about there being a human being at the other end.the5ilence 1. Consider the possibility that I'm not actually being nasty. 2. When I've screwed up like this, and received genuinely nasty feedback: real put down, personal insult kind of stuff, I appreciated it. I was still angry at the person for being nasty, but it was up front and did not mince words. I grew.
The people who post feedback for Dev or Canary builds are likely the "tech savvy" people that helped convince a ton of other people "Edge isn't so bad, you should check it out."
I won't be doing any of that if it's bloated and invasive out of the box. An undisable-able, unremovable "feature" that immediately and instantly sends telemetry when you accidentally hover over it is worthy of outrage. Especially if it's so poorly implemented as to crash your browser if you close a tab with it still open.
Extra whitespace/padding isn't universally worthy of outrage, but I'll still complain about it.
- Sabéis como poder abrir los favoritos de nuevo, en nueva pestaña? gracias
- I think most of the comments are just rude and absolutely uncalled for. This is the Dev-Channel, breaking changes and innovation is expected. Innovation needs bold decisions and iterations. And it needs constructive feedback:
I find the new style very irritating and it takes up a lot of space in its current form, especially on smaller screens/lower resolutions. It also can clash with some website colors/designs.- Hi the5ilence,
I would have to agree with your statement, the main reason for installing a different version of the edge browser besides the 'stable' version is mainly for evaluation purposes as well as see what new features are being offered. I'm not going to make a public statement about the negative comments, other than to say that nobody forces us to install a different version of the edge browser other than the one that is included with the operating system.
