Top Feedback Summary for February 11
Thanks so much for everyone's thoughts and suggestions!
cazafurcias42 We absolutely get the frustrations around this, my friend. Clark, the PM who owns this, posted last week a great explanation of the reasoning behind this decision. We want to make sure it's done right, not fast. If you would like, once this has been implemented, I can reach out to you and have you give it a try!
Omar-Os I am sorry to see that there is a perception that we do not care. We are constantly evaluating how our users view us, and this breaks my heart. I would love to have a dialog with you in DMs about why you feel this way and if there may be ways we can improve this perception. You mention things being a "simple fix", however it's not. Firefox in particular isn't built on the same system the new Microsoft Edge is, so implementing those types of features take a lot of work on our side to be on par with where users want. You can see on the feedback list that we are working on tab features, we already do have a built in ad blocker (it's under Site Permissions, and blocks misleading ads found on a specific list - not all ads immediately), and everything else you've mentioned we've received feedback on as well. Even though we don't respond to every message ever on here (we're working to improve this), we do READ every message and ensure things are sent to the right people. It takes time to change things, and improving our response rate on these forums falls into that.
I sent you guys emails and DMs and logs and everything about several problems "specially the importing of Firefox that doesn't exists" and all you say is we will pass it to the team and all will be fixed soon, that was almost a year ago! So yeah you don't care.
"Ask users if they want to close all tabs when they close a browser window" indeed is a very simply option and we all know it, It's not a Firefox exclusive feature! It was in IE and the original Edge ever since they released !!! Why didn't you add it to the new Edge is beyond me !!!
Oh what's that ? You are saying they aren't Chromium based ?? So how is it in Vivaldi, Maxthon and others Chromium based browsers ?? You mean they doing better job than you do ???
If your "Ad-Blocker" doesn't block 99% of the ads at least then it's useless, which it is.
It actually blocks none!!
Reading every messing but not replying to them OR acknowledging the problems in them as an actual problems is "not caring" in my book.
I'm not even going to mention the constant delaying of the Sync History, Extensions and Open tabs.....
Have a good day.- To me it's funny, some people with 0 knowledge of coding claim something is too easy to implement. I mean come on..
I've tried lots of browsers. take Vivaldi for example, it took them 5 years to reach to the point where they are now and still their browsers has problems.
yes problems, and that's when they didn't even have to develop their own engine, they are using Chromium, so most of the work is done by other people in the open source community.
so literally 5 years spent on sync and user interface.
then some, very few people, claim this is easy, that is easy, why not implementing it already etc etc...
- Is it really more important than Extension syncing?
History can be generated dynamically, all the time, on any device. usually people are trying to get rid of their browsing history 🙂
but anyway, I believe things like that take time. there are manual ways to backup your history, one of them is by going to your User Data directory of Edge and copy the file called "History". paste it on another Edge installation folder and you'll have your History again.HotCakeX I know it's a matter of opinion and a different case for each person but I def agree. One of the things I love about Chrome is being able to sign in with my Google account on a new install and have all of my extesnsions start installing, and even appear in the same order (up on the right side of the address bar).
History is something I never really even think about. I rarely use history, instead get to websites by using either the address bar and typing the first few letters or the bookmarks bar. So I'm really glad to see that extensions syncing is coming this month. I wonder if it will cover extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store though? I got all the extensions I could that I use from the Edge Extension Store of course but there are just a few not in the Edge store I had to get from Chrome Web Store. Mainly Nord VPN extension, and FrankerFaceZ (a extension for enhancing the twitch.tv site).

It's not a matter of opinion but a matter of security of user data.
in the discussion for Google integration, I posted comments and proofs about it, even posted a solution that we can all be happy with, a secure and controlled way to add Google integration 🙂
