Edge v80 file uploader looks terrible compared to v79 (if your laptop is at scalings like 175%)
The problem is with Edge Dev 80.0.361.23 on Windows 10 v1909. My laptops display scaling is set to 175% (though you should be able to repro at other scalings such as 125%). Bring up Edge's file uploa...
HiBdsrev
Nice find, I could easily reproduce this problem on a totally different setup as well
- Windows 10 insider fast ring build 19536 x64
- PC
- Edge insider canary Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
- 175% scaling
Here is how it looks like on the above setup. very blurry like in your picture
175% Scaling Edge insider canary 81
The same setup with Edge canary 81 but with 100% scaling. notice the blur is gone and everything looks crystal clear
100% Scaling Edge insider canary 81
again the same setup as above but this time trying it on Firefox Dev version 72.0b11 (64-bit) at 175% scaling. everything looks crystal clear, no problem
Firefox 72 dev at 175% scaling
I'm away for a few days, can you repro in Chrome v80? Canary, Dev etc
- I don't have Google chrome installed.
is it necessary though?- It can help us determine if this issue is specific to Edge 80 or if it's all Chromium 80 browsers
- But it's a bad requirement to be honest.
I strongly think this should change. I for one switched to Firefox Dev from Google chrome and I'm preparing myself to ditch Google and use Edge stable and Firefox.
I have peace of mind using Firefox for my privacy, using Bing engine, and have access to more useful extensions and themes.
moving forward, I hope this won't be the case and users won't be asked by developers or others to install Google chrome for testing something.
each install of Google chrome increases their market share, send lots of private/public information to the Google servers and the uninstall process leaves leftovers and traces on the user's system.
IMO, a problem is a problem, a bug is a bug. if it's in Edge then it's related to Edge. it's up to Edge developers to figure out where it originates from.
the data collection and telemetry system in Edge should be good enough to provide developers with the right info.
