Edge devs never fixed mute tab button, I am now switching to Chrome

I cannot click the mute tab button once I have more than ~10 or so tabs open. It just brings me to that tab instead of muting the tab like it should be. Me and others have raised this issue numerous times. It's such a simple problem that should have been fixed by now if Edge devs had ever bothered testing their product. It's a feature I and others use very frequently and is a deal breaker. 

 

Recently, Chrome has brought in the ability to mute individual tabs again, and it works flawlessly. I've switched to Chrome and will be uninstalling Edge, which is unfortunate because otherwise it is a good browser. Any other way I can give feedback directly to the Edge devs about this before uninstalling Edge? Thank you.

  • What version of Edge are you using? We recently made a fix for this in Edge Dev, so if you're using the stable release version, you may not have that fix yet.

      I'm glad to hear this is being worked on. I have the latest version of Edge, and I also have Edge Dev installed, but I tried it on Edge Dev and the problem is still there.

        Okay, I think you're having a different issue then, which is that when the tab becomes so small that the mute icon takes up the entire width of the tab, the mute functionality is removed since otherwise you'd have no other way to select that tab. This is something that Chrome does as well, so it's behavior that we've inherited from them. That being said, if there's anywhere that we differ from their behavior still, that would be very good to know about.
