Top feedback summary for August 29
David Rubino - thank you for the updates. A few notes from me:
- make the address bar smaller. A "normal" 9pt font is enough there
- cut a few pixels from the favorites bar
- enable a "compact" mode like in, for example, the Mail app, which would make all menu items have less padding, similar to how the default context menu looks like in Explorer
- dark mode improvements: the new tab page should, of course, become darker. Reduce all kinds of white flicker when opening a new tab
- dark mode: a dark scrollbar is a must
- we need Edge to be the best possible demonstration of Fluent. Add acrylic stuff, reveal stuff, everything 😉 Rounded corners are fine
Minor stuff:
- add the ability to hide extension icons like in Vivaldi. Do not hide them in the [...] menu, just roll them into a single icon
- add the ability to disable all extensions for a particular website
- add separators to favorites, including the favorites bar
- don't just look at feedback sent by the feedback smiley icon, but also this forum 😉
- add "show image" to context menu, besides the "open image in new tab".
- add a context menu to all possible places in the UI. I see my profile icon and don't want to? Let me right click it and select "hide profile icon", etc.
- change DirectWrite contrast value for fonts to make them more like in original Edge and Firefox. The letters in Chromium based browsers are often too thin
- make pinned tabs impossible to close, for example, if the browser crashes for some reason and I don't click the 'restore tabs' option, the browser should start with a home tab *and* previously pinned tabs
edit to add:
- the favorites icon shows my favorites bar list, it should only show "other favorites"
- add the ability to move the toolbar buttons
- add "rewind" and "fast forward" buttons. Could be as an advanced appearance setting if considered confusing to some users
That's about it for now 😉
