Shortcut to manage hardware acceleration
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a shortcut for Edge which would start with hardware acceleration off and one with on.
Netflix (and perhaps other streaming sites) in browser disables Instant Replay in Shadowplay if the browser is hardware accelerated but hardware acceleration also comes in handy for some heavy graphics websites so I'd like to open an instance of Edge with hardware acceleration for browsing and one without it for streaming.

This solved all my problems with Netflix when hardware acceleration is turned on.
Background is, that most streaming services have a bad implementation of PlayReady DRM, and with disabling it Edge uses Widevine DRM again, which is supported way better.

- Perfect, thank you very much!
