Top feedback summary for December 3
Hi David,
are you aware that the issue about the virtual keyboard (SIP) not auto-invoking in text-fields (except new tab page) on Windows tablets is still present? See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1022295 for more details.
Could one of you guys please help out the chromium developers since this is clearly related to a known bug in the TSF core, thanks.
Still missing important features for tablet users on the feedback summary:
- The virtual keyboard (SIP) doesn't auto-invoke when using the pen/stylus, neither in addressbar nor in any text-fields
- The experimental fullscreen-dropdown of the browser-frame (tabs and addressbar) only works with mouse and pen, but not with finger touch
- Ability to sort favorites with drag and drop when using pen or finger (enabling edge://flags/#enable-touch-drag-drop crashes the browser)
Best regards

They should be.
I showed them the bug at Ignite about a month ago.
I did file a chromium bug on it too https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1024486#
Besides from that we still miss the yellow folders, epub, set aside and the rest of the functions from Edge. The functions that will this Edge into something else than a chrome clone
- HotCakeXDec 05, 2019MVPI also wish they would give set aside more priority

It does become more & more concerning & worrisome as the clock continues to tick away... "Beware the ides of January".

Re: Yellow Folders
About a month back, I took a screenshot of Old Edge / New Edge / Chrome for comparison, and to my eyes, actual CHROME looks more like Old Edge than New Edge does. (Tell me I'm wrong... see below!)
Are yellow folders so hard to implement? The Favorites Bar just looks so drab and unfinished without the color. I'm flabbergasted that "Open all (52) favorites in a new window" is a feature that made the cut but yellow folders still haven't.
Unfortunately, the longer I use the new Edge, the more I'm getting used to it. The overall look does seem to be consistent with the theme of the Windows 10 task bar in dark mode, when you keep the task bar on the top like I do.
Lastly, I had this thought: Since the only people, more or less, who used old Edge frequently were us Microsoft fanboys and other insiders, and the idea is to have this new version gain widespread adoption, maybe emulating the look of the Old Edge really isn't the best idea in the world, ya know?

Features that already make this more than a Chrome clone:
- Tracking prevention
- Collections
- MSA integration
- Favorites button in toolbar
- Reader mode

I'm sorry but I dont agree fully
a simple tracking prevention is in chrome
I don't use collections
Google integrates with their services so thats the same concept
MS didn't want a fav button in Edge either but they was forced to put it there due to massive complaints but so far they have only done half of it. Then you click on it there is four buttons and the correct folder color still missing
reading Is in chrome
Chrome removed Epub - the clone removed Epub - Edge classic supports it
Chrome buged keyboard - the clone implemented the same crap - Edge classic works
Chrome allows webpages to disable right click menus - so does the clone - edge classic blocks it
Chrome doesn't have set aside tabs - neither does the clone. Edge classic has it
So right now it's a lot more of a chrome clone than it should be and the way to make it better is to bring over the Edge from Edge Classic
