Tab Preview - Discussion
Hi Insiders, thanks so much for your feedback on the tab experience in the new Microsoft Edge. From reading your comments, it is clear that many of you would like an easy way to view more information...

Bring the same Tab Previews/Thumbnails from Edge legacy to the new Edge (Chromium)
that was the best design you guys did.
other browsers are trying to mimic and copy Edge legacy, such as Chrome and Vivaldi.

What I realized after having the experimental features enabled for tab previews is that the p[reviews only show a screen shoot of the tab and not the tab in motion. When I have had a tab open playing a youtube video it would show me a screenshot of the video and the tie I hovered over the tab and not the video playing. What would be nice is for edge to show real-time tab previews so that when you hover over tab previews it shows the videos playing and the animations and popups in real-time like you would if you were on the tab. ANd in the latest version of Safari, they do not even have this feature to allow real-time tab Previews they only have screen shots of videos playing in tab previews.
