Do not Mess With Alt + Tab
Why are you messing with things that are working. Alt+Tab for switching programs and Ctrl+Tab for switching tabs already exists. If you have lots of Windows with lots of tabs open in them, switching ...

KoshyG Deleted MissyQ posinha Truly agree with you. The Microsoft Edge Team is not focussing on the internals, rather they are more working to bring new features to make this browser stand out among the browsers market.
There are many problems which I have highlighted almost 6 months ago and there is still no update on these. The great thing is the team hadn't even acknowledged the problems and given a reply. Had it been the firefox or opera, it would have been fixed in the next update.
Some of these are
- Unstyled full-screen controls - the Restore control is extra-large among its size
- PDF toolbar should be floating
- PDF toolbar must have the full-screen button
- Taskbar peek should be available
- MKV files should be playable as the Edge is usingMediaFoundation playback
- The mouse hover CPU consumption is still a fallback
- Tab switching is very paining - Consumes lot of CPU and disk
- Hangs for a moment on New tab opening and consumes 30% CPU and 5% disk where it should be 0
- Consumes much GPU on certain elements - such as in edge://surf game it consumes 40% on the idle player select screen where it shouldn't be more than 5%.
- Threads aren't properly utilised - Most of the service workers work on the input thread making the browser unresponsive (such as during searching for passwords, scrolling of bookmarks/history page)
- Customization isn't provided - There should be a user customization option like firefox allowing the user to choose between compact/touch mode, allowing dragging of buttons, removing unnecessary items from the right-click menu.
- Browser still consumes 100% disk on startup and is still very very slow compared to the legacy edge
- Still consumes much RAM which it shouldn't
- Uses UI that is pixellated (rastered) on the screen where it should be reusable and smooth
- PDF rendering is still poor - the large PDF loads very slowly
- Scrolling on PDF is very sluggish and hurting - its not threaded I suppose
- Certain Fonts on PDF move on mouse selection and are deformed
