David Rubino 1. when you're adding Inking for PDF, can you add Inking for the normal web pages as well? just like The current built-in Edge? also the integration with OneNote. 2. please don't add Googe sign-in to Microsoft Edge if Google don't plan to add sign-in with Microsoft account to their Chrome browser. 3. Please remove the A/B testing from Edge insider Canary. give all Canary users the Same set of features, equally. just like Google gives Chrome canary users all equal access to the set of features and they are united. with A/B testing, it's really confusing and sad to see a group of people can use some useful features but the rest can't.

David RubinoCan the edge team please make the InPrivate icon look like how it was in old edge and internet explorer by making it blue? It's more appealing and less dull if it was like how old edge and internet explorer was like.

WindowsUser 1. they've already divided the group into 3 groups, Beta, Dev, Canary. there is no point in creating even more sub groups.vast number of devices? it's surely Not as vast as the number of devices the Google Chrome Canary runs on.2. that's more like your hypothesis. the current built-in Edge or Internet explorer for that matter, don't have low user base because they are not letting people login with their Google account! they are less popular because of how they are made and most importantly, Compatibility with websites and lack of support for extensions.nowadays a browser without extension support is not gonna succeed.(Old Edge has a few extensions but that doesn't even count against Chrome's millions of extensions)3. it IS already a personal preference. people CHOSE to use Microsoft Edge for a reason. people are not paid by Microsoft to use this half-ready browser and deal with the bugs. they use it because it's clean from Google services. the moment they integrate Google services into this browser again is the moment they take away the uses' choice.Microsoft spent lots of time removing Google services from chromium. there is No reason to integrate them back again.4. For your information i like both Google and Microsoft, each provide unique services that the other company can't. such as YouTube and Windows OS.if anything is gonna happen it Better be mutual.if Microsoft only adds Google login on their side but Google doesn't add Microsoft login to chrome browser then it means Google account is more superior to a Microsoft account.that's not the path Microsoft should take. they should make such a great browser that everyone would like to use it instead of Chrome.also it's Not a problem to login with Microsoft account. billions of people Already have Microsoft account because of Windows OS.

David Rubino 1. Google integration - No thanks. I value privacy - not Google profit2. Fix the favorites icon3. Add these buttons to the favorites menu 3. prevent mouse button hijacking4. Fix Epub

David Rubino thank you for putting "Bring the tab set aside feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge" under review. But please make it happen!!! And special THANKS for disabling video and audio by default!

Another useful feature would be to allow us to target browser profile in which links open. For example - I have Personal and Work profiles. Personal has extensions and stuff like music playlists , while work is purely for work systems. When clicking on a link from an email for example I'd like to target my work profile. Ideally this should be done via a selector (similar to the default app selector in Win10), or have the ability to set a profile as the ultimate 'default' browser (eg on my work machine I'd set my work profile as that).

I want to know something. Is it possible for the team to work on webRTC for chromium dealing with audio for application windows? I'm trying to figure out why that specifically doesn't have audio. Is there some documentation stating the reason or can I get a reason?

About the issue "Website elements are being flipped upside down when switching between tabs":

I've found the solid re-create process and website about this:

http://www.nandani.sakura.ne.jp/jstest/graph_vbar/examples/

This example use the graph library of Tutorial site "HTML5JP". HTML5JP was closed on this summer, but its graph library is broadly used by many of websites.

And, I have some findings: I've tried it with beta and canary builds, but it not recreated. Only the DevBuild 78.0.268.3 have this issue.

I wish that this information helps you.

best regards,

Mamoru Satoh

David Rubino I'd like the ability to use a custom search engine instead of bing, I find that it doesn't have the same results as bing.

Can the Edge team make a zoom level icon similar to the way Firefox does it when a page is zoomed in? I use a wireless keyboard with a touchpad, sometimes Edge misinterprets two finger scrolling as pinch and zoom instead and zooms in the page. This happens in Firefox as well but in Firefox a zoom level icon shows up and all you have to do is double click it to reset the zoom back to 100%.

In Edge I have to click the little magnifying glass then click reset. This happens at least once or twice a day; those little extra clicks start to add up. Even better, it would be nice if there was a way to disable zoom altogether or maybe just disable the pinch and zoom option.

With regard to the planned inking for PDF files, can we also have the ability to do basic form fills? Would be great to do everything in one place without downloading the PDF and then opening it in Acrobat Reader for form fills.

Thanks!

The address bar and its text are too big, and should be smaller like Chrome
I feel the opposite, I actually prefer the current size over the size in Chrome, as someone with a visual impairment who also uses a touch screen from time to time I find the larger address bar and tabs more accessible.
