Top Feedback Summary for July 28
After being away from "new-edge" for a while I'm back 😉
New case but some common Issues
1. Epub support. The company manuals and so on are in Epub format. Since the support is gone they are stuck on classic edge for that
2. Youtube right click on touch doesn't work correctly. If you are watching a video and right click on another in the "up next" column you do not get the edge menu to allow you to open in a new tab - it works in classic edge and it also works with a physical mouse
3. I know there is work being done on performance but I got a scary example.
Two tabs - static text. Edge classic 28MB ram 0,1% CPU. New Edge 280MB ram 17,1% CPU. On embedded 2GB systems this is a big issue
matsmcp Hey, welcome back! Appreciate you reaching out to share your thoughts.
1. We discontinued epub support last year, and supplied on this support article some options for replacements from the Microsoft Store.
2. Touch input is something I've been actively gathering more details on. Please submit feedback directly through the browser right after you attempt the action. Include diagnostics and detail exactly what steps you take so it's easy for the entire team to follow what you are doing as you use touch features. (A tip that was taught to me when I was learning how to write bugs many moons ago: Write your steps as if someone has never touched the thing you're working on. This is great advice for submitting bugs/issues, as well. Everyone uses the browser slightly differently, including those of us building it.) If you include you're email, you'll receive updates once your feedback has actions taken on it. Let me know once you do, so I can share it with the team.
3. Same as above, please submit feedback about any performance issues you run into. We keep performance items such as CPU and RAM usage under our Quality Areas since that's what we expect to continuously improve. Having detailed feedback helps us understand the needs of users like yourself, which in turn helps us make those improvements. 🙂
Again, happy to see you return! :3

I have sent feedback on the touch issue
I made three small videos on it
The first one is Edge chromium and I try to right click by holding down my finger on the link. It doesn't work and is treated as a left click (Edge Chromium touch.avi)
If I do the same thing in Edge Classic it works (Edge Classic touch.avi)
And as a reference I did the same thing with Edge Chromium and a mouse - it also works (Edge Chromium mouse.avi). But having to have a mouse attached to a surface pro kind of defeats the purpose of a touch screen .......
