Dev channel update to 79.0.309.11 is live
Hello Josh, really hope the team is just kiddin' to make this version a beta, with all these unresolved issues:
- The most annoying "automatic" sign-in with the magically created "work" profile, unable to sign-out or delete it and concurrently losing "profile 1"
- Virtual keyboard often not popping up on certain input-fields (especially login-/search-fields, e.g. search in chrome web store). This issue came up first with the 80.0.x builds of canary, I think.
- Screenshots in feedback broken since numerous builds
- No automatic updates for extensions from the chrome web store
- Still no way to sort favorites on touch-devices with finger or pen
- The strange black line underneath the toolbar/favorites bar
Shouldn't all this be fixed first before working on petty details like round or squared buttons? Sorry, just my opinion.
Best regards

You said nothing but the truth.
These bugs must be fixed without creating additional bugs somewhere else in the code of Edge insider browser.

Thanks, nice to hear that from a dedicated user like you.
Noticing with concern how this great project is slowly going down within the last weeks.
May I ask you a question? Being a power tablet user, I really miss two (imho) key features: swipe-in of the toolbar/addressbar in full-screen mode (like classic edge) and scrollable, touch-friendly tabs.
I've suggested this several times in here without great response, so what's your opinion? Am I expecting too much or do you think we both should try to up-vote this a bit?Best regards
Neon01 don't worry, we're already tracking most of these bugs:
The Netflix issue was fixed in a recent Canary, and should be fixed in the next Dev build as well.
The SSO issue was also just fixed in Canary within the last day or two.
The extra profile issue just got another fix put into our codebase so that, in Canary in a day or two, you should finally be able to remove the extra "Work" profile if one got added for you and you still aren't able to remove it.
The muted sound issue is possibly due to a known design flaw in the way Windows handle's Chromium's different processes, and how it's not 1:1 with each tab (it's also been known to create different entries for difference devices, in case you have both headphones and a built-in speaker, for example). I saw that HotCakeX already mentioned this, but is it possible that some/all of Edge's processes are muted in the Windows volume mixer?
The black line is a known issue that appeared in Canary recently, and since it's not affecting functionality, we prioritized fixing other bugs ahead of it. Unfortunately, we waited long enough that it made it into Dev.
The black screenshots were something that we made a partial fix for in a previous update, but it's obvious that there are still users that are running into this issue, so I'll make sure the team knows the fix wasn't complete.
The extensions updating issue is currently being investigated by our extensions team, but if it makes you feel any better, it's affecting me too, so I'm personally invested in getting it figured out!
Finally, the spontaneous Application Guard windows issue just had a fix go into Canary within the last day or two as well. Hopefully this covers all the most prevalent things people have mentioned here!
No, no mutes, only one entry showing for edge in the mixer.
As mentioned, this is unique to the (current) dev builds and the beta build right now works fine which is why I am on that. Any other browser (including Chrome) is also fine.

Thank you!
I have the same opinion as you, full-screen mode without address bar and tabs isn't very useful. Edge classic offers a true full-screen experience where users don't need to exit full-screen mode only to choose another tab or type something in the address bar.Google chrome and now the new Microsoft Edge lack that functionality, I hope the new Edge implements it soon, preferably before stable release.
this deserves an upvote ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
