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.

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!

    Cheers,

      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

        Hi Minas,

        Edge C. is based on the same Chromium platform as Chrome... suggesting performance to be the same or better... most Folks are finding these early Builds to be better.

        Windows Ink, termed Add notes in Edge, is one of a few items known to be 'missing' presently with Edge C.  We are given to believe the stuff will be in by the time of release.

        Ad blockers are not in the browser, by default.  Whether Edge or Edge C, they are extensions added by the End User.  There are a few of them available from both the MS Store & the Chrome Store.

        Cheers,
        Drew
