Sharing from MS Edge Beta
"Sharing" web pages no longer loads the options panel in Edge Beta (snip below from Edge). Are others experiencing this? (At least Edge Beta not crashing as it was a couple of weeks ago.)

- Sunday, 2/19/23 and mine's working again this morning; thanks to whoever fixed it.
- Yes, thank goodness. It WAS NOT working in either version early this morning, EST. But I did notice about an hour ago that it was now working again...and in both versions. I'm so grateful to the engineers and everyone else who posted in support of this feature and getting it fixed!!
- Yes, I have the same issue in Stable and Beta
Matthew_Bernstein I downloaded and installed the newest version of Edge last night, 2-10-23, just before doing a complete shutdown and have found the same identical issue with the share button, as well as the share option on the dropdown menu. It has to be a coding problem. Very frustrating because this feature is one that I like most about Edge and that I use regularly. I also note that the feedback button at the bottom of any webpage is no longer working properly. Specifically, the popout will no longer let anything be typed into the description box and I can't enter my email address
. I submitted both issues in a chat with Microsoft Support, [Case #:1049817766].Finally, while I'm at it, I noticed starting a few weeks ago, that Edge began inserting a totally unrelated picture above the link URL and unrelated descriptive text (but related to the picture) below the URL...also very annoying. My workaround was simply to delete both...expedient for me but taking away from one of the best parts of using Edge and it's share feature because a good summary of what was being provided always accompanied the share link before it started doing this.
Hope the Edge team gets these things fixed soon so I can continue enjoying my favorite browser and touting it to everyone else!!
- Me too; the share is a favorite part of Edge; have had to go back to Chrome for that function.
Same not showing anything in Stable version for me, just a blank pop out.
Thanks for reporting this. I found that the share flyout is working as expected in Dev Version 111.0.1660.2, so the next Beta release should get the fix.
Jeremiah-V Do you know when the next Beta release, the one you referred to, will be available?
- I thought this sharing option was part of Edge, not some Beta experiment.
Jeremiah-V thanks. seems odd that is just stopped working.
very odd, and no change for 3-4 days now
