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.

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

Thanks Drew1903 . Great to hear the Add notes feature is planned to be included - great relief!

RE: AdBlockers for Chrome - I haven't had a great experience with the Chrome Ad Blocker extensions. They don't seem to work well. Possibly due to Google's core business & conflicts of interest. I know there's been changes in approach by Google here, but my experience for whatever reason with Chrome and Ad blocking has been poor.

My experience with Edge (again theory aside) has been positive. Hope it remains.

Cheers

Minas, in Edge I use Adblocker Ultimate from the MS Store & it's terrific!. It is not in the MS extensions for Edge C, but, it can be found in the Chrome Store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblocker-ultimate/ohahllgiabjaoigichmmfljhkcfikeof. I am using it with Edge C & again, it's terrific.

Cheers,
Drew

  Thanks Drew. Trying it out now. Use AdGuard Blocker for Edge. Seems to work well.
