Top feedback summary for October 22
Kiven and David Rubino, yes please, please add the Open/Run option to the new Edge. I know everyone has their own pet feature that is "critical" to that person. For me, this is absolutely it, and I'm pretty sure my reasoning applies to other users. In fact, this feature in IE and Edge were the main reason I often used those browsers over Chrome and Firefox in the past.
Here's why it matters:
I frequently need to open files or run mini-installers, spanning documents, voice mail attachments, PDF's where I need features in Adobe Reader (over the Edge PDF experience), and many more. Because I also often save files in specific folders for the files I do want to keep for the long haul, I have Edge set to always ask me where to save. But if I just want to open or run a file without saving a copy, this is a hassle. Worse, this also means I have to remember where it's saved to go back and delete this file that I only needed for a few seconds. Cumulatively over a day, this can waste several minutes of time. Please give us the ability to just open or run without requiring the file navigation.
