Right click on search results in edge://favorites to show the bookmark in its folder
- Apr 12, 2020
DeletedHALLELUJAH I can finally show a search result in its folder. Took a long time. I didn't get it in time for my tasks but at least it's here now.
I hope you guys will also work on the performance of the React pages and on the scrollbars of those pages. Edge looks really bad when I scroll with my touchpad or finger.

pneenkoalabear My apologies for the typo, I did mean "Favorites." (However, our Collections and Favorites teams do work very closely together, so the feedback actually goes through the same PM.)
Thanks again, and we'll let you know if we get any additional updates about this.

yes edge need thisDeleted
- pneenkoalabearApr 14, 2020Steel ContributorIt's not about scrolling per se. It's just that the items have to load in. It's something that doesn't happen in Chromium. I've already submitted that. The scrollbars of the React pages don't have tracks. I've already submitted that feedback too.
As for actual scrolling, I've noticed that there's no overscroll in edge://settings which is another issue I've already reported. I imagine that would be fixed when you guys add the overscroll effect to sub-scrollers. I hope you guys will review pull to refresh. Again, I've also already submitted that.
It's a bit weird that the article refers to the UWP/Spartan Edge as an "older version". I always thought that quick flick was a bug! Can't wait to see fling boosting! That would make scrolling heaps easier. I don't really understand what scroll chaining and scroll latching are. Could you please explain what they are? - DeletedApr 13, 2020
pneenkoalabear Wonderful, we're glad that you were able to access that feature and that you're enjoying it!
We'd love it if you would submit in-browser feedback when you encounter issues with scrolling. Improving scrolling performance and personality across devices is top-of-mind for the team right now. For more information, you can check out this blog that our team just published: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/04/02/scrolling-personality-improvements/
Thanks!

- pneenkoalabearApr 02, 2020Steel ContributorI don't even know why Edge doesn't have this. I thought Edge only changed the UI. Was it written from scratch (with React?)?
Would that also explain why scrolling edge://favorites takes time for the favourites to load? It's also mildly annoying that most scrollbars of "internal" pages don't have tacks. I know that Chrome has something called Web UI but I don't anything about it.
I really don't get it. It's not any old feature request considering Chromium has it. :((((( - pneenkoalabearMar 24, 2020Steel ContributorI won't ever get my sessions back and I feel as though I've wasted so much time.
I think I know what the issue is. When Edge crashes or Windows was restarted (and you know it'll prompt you to restore your tabs or at least let you ctrl+shift+t) and you open an InPrivate window of the same profle, that's when your session gets cleared. I wasn't ready to restore all of my tabs that day yet so I browsed InPrivate for a bit. BUT there was a time when another user shut down my laptop while Edge was running on my Windows 10 account (I'm still kinda mad at them). I lost my session then too. I think there are issues with when Edge thinks a user closed a session on purpose.
I have made my own "PWA" of Spotify and Deezer and I have installed Twitter. I imagine that it's like the InPrivate case although that's way more direct. - DeletedMar 24, 2020
pneenkoalabear We're sorry to hear that. The product team does its best to accommodate as many feature requests as possible; unfortunately, the downside of receiving all this awesome feedback is that not everything can be implemented at once, even if it already exists in the Chromium Project.
We've confirmed first-hand that this feature request (inspired by your post, specifically) is under consideration by the Favorites program manager herself. That being said, we cannot guarantee what the team's decisions or the next steps will be, but we can tell you that we'll loop back with you if there are updates.
However, we do take decreased productivity and potential data loss seriously, so if you would like us to take a deeper look, please refer to my previous response:
"To follow up on this: 'i also lost all of my windows and tabs.' If you'd like to provide some more details (or submit feedback through the browser, if you haven't yet,) we'd be happy to do some further investigation. Are you using PWAs, by any chance?"
Thanks,

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge - pneenkoalabearMar 24, 2020Steel ContributorI'm kinda over Edge. This isn't some brand new feature or anything to discuss. It's something Chromium has.

pneenkoalabear Thanks for your patience. I can confirm that the team is actively discussing this and appreciated your feedback! We'll loop back with you when we hear more.

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge - pneenkoalabearFeb 23, 2020Steel Contributorany updates at all?
Chrome has this but Edge doesn't. I don't get the lack of priority. - DeletedFeb 06, 2020
pneenkoalabear We're sorry to hear about the negative impact this has had. I will follow-up with the Favorites team and see if I can get any additional insights for you.
