Feature request: Windows ink

This idea is probably already in the works considering the original edge browser had this, but the ability to annotate web pages. As a student this is an extremely beneficial feature to have.

    Sleuthelle For me is the most important feature in Edge is the true motive to use it has my main browser, so it´s absolutely mandatory!

    And I'll add my voice as well.  If I can't have this, I will be looking to use a different browser.  I loved this function on the original Edge especially annotating PDFs. Please port it over.

      Tim, surely we few here are reflect millions of Users who want/will want Add Notes AND the rest of the stuff that's across the top bar in Edge.  There's no way the Team could build Edge C and omit that stuff.  Would be insanity.  If they weren't doing it, anyway, already, they MUST hear countless people saying, don't leave those items behind!

        Same, main reason I used edge was for the

        1. Ink support - Pen I use all the time. Please bring this back asap
        2. Ad Blockers
        3. Tab aside is also a cool feature but I find I didn't use it as much as I thought I would

        I've been avoiding Insider builds because of this feature missing. Otherwise I just use chrome as it seems to be more resource efficient.

        In my experience, I can have many more Chrome Tabs available than Edge and maintain system stability.

        Don't know the details, but assuming/hoping that the switch to Chromium will fix that. :)

        Being able to ink as well would be brilliant!

         

        thank you

    I really hope they would port the ability to annotate web pages and PDF documents to Edge Chromium soon!  Another feature I miss is the set tabs aside.

    Most importantly: please support this for the built-in PDF viewer. I am using Edge regularly for proof reading PDFs

    Be hard pressed to find a person NOT fully endorsing it, lol. People would ask, why do you like Edge... besides performance because of all its VERY cool Features and this sure is one of them, a big one!

    Cheers,

    Sleuthelle:Yes! I fully endorse this idea. This was a differentiator for Edge! I have used this so many times. 

  • I hope all the features get ported to the new Edge plus more. only the underlying engine get swaped with chromium opon source engine, other features from original Edge stay.

    Seconded. As a teacher, it's also extremely beneficial. I can model worksheets on the touch board.
