Edge Engineering AMA on Reddit tomorrow 11:30 am - 1 pm PST
He-Man84 Could you please post great Qs to the official Reddit AMA thread so others can see them as well?
It looks like the AMA is over, all team answers are listed https://www.reddit.com/user/MSEdgeDev_Team. Overall not revealing much, but some answers were more informative.
Most attention was driven to the issue whether Edge will continue to allow blocking ads. The answer was not definitive, likely since Google may respond adversely, but it looks like full ads blocking will still be allowed through extensions. I think attention to this subject will subside once the browser starts enforcing "good ad" criteria. The reality is, without web developers fiscal motivation, we may not enjoy in the future rich informative and bright web it is today.
As to other questions never answered on this forum, they were neither addressed at AMA. No Tab Management answers, nothing about media features & codecs except DRM, nada about improving English spellcheck and whole page translation quality, nothing on PNACL & Arc Welder extensions support in Edge for Windows, no word on improving Edge forum moderation tools, or posting Edge Bug & Feature Tracker. I wonder if Edge team would be willing to address these Qs here? 😉
One thing I noted is answer about apps: "developers will soon have the option to run their new web apps on the Chromium engine which will make it easier for app developers that already build and test their sites and apps in Chromium-based browsers."
