Hi Drew, as johnjansen mentioned, we are very aware of the feedback on pinning, and we are aware that not everyone utilizes Windows in the same way.  We believe that making the launching of the browser as efficient as possible is in everyone's interest, and so are trying to get as much feedback as we can.  John was also trying to unblock you and our other Insiders until we have the full set of changes out in the Insider channels.

Noel Burgess, Drew1903, ms4132, we thank you for your feedback, and your passion for our browser.  Your feedback has already helped inform the features that we are releasing, and the order in which they release. Please keep it up!

    Hi Elliot,

    One thing that I really appreciate on here is that, as opposed to Feedback Hub, you, or someone on your team, take the time to reply. Not to every post; I understand that's very impractical. But, Feedback Hub tends to give arcane, sometimes irrelevant replies that are not at all helpful, *when* they do reply. Again, thanks for allowing us to help build the new Edge.

    Regards,

    Dan

      There was once a piece of feedback on the Feedback Hub and the response that was about something completely different. It was obviously an automatic, generic response. I think they try to "resolve" our issues by marking it as replied and by giving it inaccurate statuses.

      Microsoft also buries important feedback in completely different collections. https://imgur.com/a/UfBSYgX I wasn't going to spend all day trying to find my specific example but I think it had to do with File Explorer.

      So yeah. I really like how *real* and active the developers are here.

        pneenkoalabear, Drew1903 I am sorry that your experience with the Feedback Hub was so bad.  Before I moved to the Edge team, I was reading comments on the Feedback Hub for the Shell team.  I too like being able to communicate directly with you.  I feel bad that I cannot get to every post, but I will keep trying.  Thank you all for all of the feedback, it is really inspiring!

      Yes, that's true (& nice, indeed) for here in the Forum.  AND then (or if) when Edge Insider Support is used one ends up with direct 1-on-1 correspondence with the same one individual on that specific issue.  Now, that is cool and productive.  Not only don't have that with FH, but, not even 🙂 does that.

      Cheers,
      Drew

      Dan_AI4GK thanks, Dan. I appreciate the sentiment. I do like this much better than the Feedback Hub. It feels more connected to you all and your direct thoughts (and bugs!) :-)

    Thanks, Elliot & John.

    Probably I can speak for myself AND others with this note...

    We are glad to be appreciated & excited to help build this thing.  It is/will be rewarding if, indeed, it ends up as we are suggesting when it's finished.  And we are happy that it seems the Team is, actually, trying to make that happen.

    Cheers,
    Drew
