Hello,
just wanted to say that if by any chance you decide to implement it, please choose the most secure way, i.e our data only stay in Microsoft servers and Not Google.
a module or extension to be added or removed from the browser at any time by the user sounds good BUT if in order for that said extension or module to work properly, you have to add Google services back to Edge, which you previously removed in the de-googling process of Chromium, please don't.
because that's one of the biggest reasons I'm using Edge canary and not using Chrome, you could even say that's the only reason. because the UI or engine aren't anything special, they can be found in other browsers such as Vivaldi, Opera, Yandex and they DO have beautiful interfaces, but they are owned by other companies and not Microsoft which I trust so that's why I'm not using them. if Microsoft Edge starts getting Google stuff again, it will be the time to find a different browser, most likely Firefox, which co-exists on my system with Edge since I have canary channel and it tends to be unstable sometimes.
Thank you!
They certainly can fix the UI to make it better and it wouldn't take too much, IMO. And at that point I don't see why people would need sync for Google at all (although I don't see why people need or want it now either) The settings page, right click menu, and menu are all better than other Chromium browsers; they really just need to work on the navbar - there is too much spacing between the icons and the icons themselves are a bit lackluster and there is like a white shadow that shows up on dark webpages under the navbar that feels off to me.

Sorry I don't think I was talking about the UI but now that you mentioned it, it doesn't look too spaced or big, the address bar is already long enough to type and see web suggestions, the spacing is good for both mouse and touch users, like fast navigation with enough padding
Just curious, what kind of display are you using when using Edge, and what resolution/size is it?
Thanks!
The screen that I am using is actually a Vizio TV (but quite small, for a TV that is). It is a 24 inch screen. I don't really know how many pixels it has. I hope that I could give you the information you were looking for. I don't know if the fact that it is a TV can affect such experiences. But it is a large screen, and on some devices with smaller screens it could have too much spacing. Thank you for bringing that up. I didn't really think about how that would affect smaller screen sizes, so great point.
