Probably, this is not the right place to communicate a known issue. I beg your pardon in advance.
Watching AT&T (ex DirectvNow.com) there's a problem with subtitles.
Whites stripes appear instead of text and if I tinker on it then the AT&T App Crash.
Thank you.

josh_bodner i stared having more issues on Netfilx. Video periodically blacks out and UI elements become transparent yet still stay interactible. Previous issues were that if I pause the video and switch to another tab then return to the video after a few minutes the player will show activity indicator then error out. Also if i let the video play then switch tabs and switch back after a minute it will run accelerated for a moment until it catches up. All those issues are not present on chrome.
Since old edge also has similar issues with tab switching I tried disabling playready and explicitly enabling widevine but netflix doesn't seem to recognize widevine support.
- Love this browser but cannot get my Favorites to sync across devices.
Worst yet, now I installed browser on a new laptop I got and not only it did not get the Favorites synced to it, it wiped out existing favorites on my other laptop 🤦🏻:male_sign:

What am I missing?
Is it possible my company’s AD policies are disrupting this? Hello josh_bodner since last update x-ray in the prime amazon video stop working also videos flicking all the time plus some time YouTube videos not working and need to open in new tab to work

I think there should be a flag for administrators to disable this behavior. I mean, if I'm not using Chrome, I don't want Google to have unilateral say over what extensions I can or cannot use. Edge simply enforcing any extension ban Google comes up with defeats part of the point of using an alternative browser in the first place.
I can see the value of having this enabled by default since a lot of people insist on installing extensions that originally came from their store, but a lot of us who don't use Google's store in the first place may disagree with some of their decisions as to what extensions should or shouldn't be allowed in the browser.
josh_bodner I can't use the extension to know what music is playing in YouTube (AHA Music - Music Identifier) it says that this browser cannot record audio.
Also, can you add an option to make this as our default browser? So I can finally uninstall Google Chrome and expect to links can be opened in this browser instead of Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.

These two changes suck 😞 By the way, it's much better if the InPrivate icon were on the left, beside the omnibox as incognito/InPrivate windows are per user and do not act as another user. I submitted this as feedback to Google but they obviously don't listen to anything except the press lol
