Nov 13, 2019Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
We have received a lot of feedback about supporting inking annotations for web pages like what we have in the current version of Microsoft Edge. Many users have told us that they use this functionali...

Once again then.
if the function exists in Edge HTML it should be ported to new Edge because we do use them and releasing a broken browser (not feature and icon complete) will only kill of even more of your marketshare.
We have no further needs than inking on classic Edge provides. Therefore first focus on porting the functionality, fix the bugs and get the browser stable.
When that is done you can start working on new features but as long as MS Edge on MS Windows on MS Surface doesn't even work - focusing on new features is the wrong priority

Agree 100%, Mat; top priority. Add notes or Inking (& the rest of "the list") absolutely MUST be in Edge C. No leeway on this. Nothing can be omitted or neglected, in this context. Otherwise, yes, it will make ppl mad & lessen adoption.
Cheers,

Drew1903 Sorry, but this will only "lessen adoption" among the 4% or so who use Edge. While Microsoft does seem legitimately concerned with keeping us Edge users satisfied going into the new version, they also care, and must care, even more about wooing Chrome users over to Edge to begin with.

I wonder why people would want to install Chrome anymore after installing a fresh Windows 10 and seeing the new Edge icon there. it should be so perfect to give them a second thought and erase all the bad past memories of built in browsers.

Jordan, thought I would tell you that I own a Windows Mobile that I, really, like. It is, actually, the 3rd I have had. The 1st when they 1st came available, waited anxiously for that day. Upgraded that one & then came a fantastic deal on the one I have, now; nicest one of them all, too. Anyway, I quite enjoy it, still, to this day &... The natural consistency & 'cooperation' between Mobile & computers, with 10, is nice, too.
Cheers,
