Taskbar peek in fullsreen mode

Edge chromium currently hides the taskbar in fullscreen mode. User has to press Win + T or Win keys every time to display taskbar while in fullscreen. When being fullscreen taskbar should be visible when the mouse is brought down near the taskbar. Edge legacy had this feature. Kindly work on it. I am attaching a screenshot from the deg legacy.

 

  • sauravyad500 Thanks for reaching out with that great question. I've looped our UI team in and will let you know if they have any insights to share on this functionality!

      Deleted Have you any update to share on this? I'm also missing this very useful functionality that is preventing me using browser in full screen mode. As top bar peek feature is already implement, now if peek taskbar feature is also implemented then it will allow many users to use browser in full screen mode all the time.

        rjtiwari10 sauravyad500, to give you an update: our team did look into this. Unfortunately, due to some constraints within the Windows framework, we likely won't be able to implement this in the near future. However, this did spark an extensive internal discussion, so we really appreciate the feedback!
