Features
I am missing the new features in microsoft edge 90 for example history , download flyout menus
- Apparently even in the Stable channel, features are still A/B tested, and so random users will see some of the advertised new features, and others won't. Which to me, frankly, is stupid. If Microsoft want to test features, that's what the Dev (Beta) and Canary (Daily/Alpha) channels exist for; Stable should provide a consistent experience for everyone. It's beyond silly to advertise features that are in a new major-version, let news publications do write-ups, but then have users find those features aren't actually there yet!
If Microsoft know in-advance a feature is still "not-quite-ready" then hold it back until the next major milestone release instead!

stable build is used by the most users in the world, so no matter how many insiders test it, when introducing certain novel features to millions of people, it's always best to do it cautiously and in waves. that's what the staged rollout is all about.
when a bug or problem happens, it won't affect everyone in the world simultaneously. there is absolutely nothing stupid or silly about it.
Hi A lot you are right first of all some features will never reach the implementation in a stable channel, so posting reviews may not be a good idea!Deleted

- Please ask the Edge Team especially that the query concerns the future time too! Awakening hope for an update by publications can be frustrating - Everyone wants to have it, and the update does not provide, so the user unnecessarily looking for an error, certainly staged introduction makes sense, but introduces inequality in treatment and this is something that I see as a problem - and therefore I would like to have additional messages as I wrote earlier because it confirms that Microsoft provides the best = this communication model use Antivirus all the time emphasize that they help and are necessary! and that's what I'm missing in Windows Update and Edge too!
