Is new Edge dev team completely forget about Tablet mode? Don't roll it out before tablet support!
KangHongjia Thank you for the detailed feedback and the videos, that's all very helpful for our team! We're sorry to hear that you've been encountering some issues with the tablet experience. I've passed this post along to our Mobile team, and will let you know if they have any insights to share.

Why are you sending all the Feedback to the Mobile team when Tablet Mode is a Windows 10 Desktop feature? It should be sent the Desktop team.
Do you know Windows 10 Tablet Mode exists?

DeletedAnd by the way, this is not a mobile team thing. This is the desktop thing! When I'm talking about tablet mode, I mean tablet mode in Windows 10.

DeletedThanks for your reply. There are more issues than what I show during tablet mode.
Usually UWP app start with an start-up screen, But with new Edge, once you open it. the screen will return to the previously app, and wait for edge to load and then shows up edge.
Also there are significant LAGs when scrolling or dragging when you compare them to the old Edge (Not to mention horrible PDF reading experience).
Overall, I just want new Edge to have native feel not 3rd-party feel. You guys doing a great job but just don't seems to fit as built-in windows 10 app as it was.
I'm a programmer myself and I deeply worry about what this new Edge will turns out to be. Will it be as native-feel as it used to be. No I guess. This makes me sad. A lot of old design were good, for example design of quitting the full screen mode just felt as native as all other UWP/Built-in app. I want this consistency back. Not something 3rd-party app. I hope you guys don't get to deep in cross-platform mission. Overall, edge will still be a built-in app. At least it should look like one in the near future.
Thank you.
