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!

We get a weekly changelog for the Dev channel, but how about a changelog for the Canary?

Also, how can "Update the user interface with the Fluent Design System" be still "under review"? It is your browser running on your operating system - why not follow the operating system user experience guidelines?

David Rubino, synching favorites seems to be broken in the latest BETA and DEV builds if you're starting out on a new PC or new profile. Other sync pieces come down, but favorites do not. Happens on Windows and Mac. Thanks.

Provide run / open / save / save as options when downloading files

99% of download files are used only once

Allow sign-in to the browser with a Google account
Why? I see this as a silly change - spend time on more important things like pages flipping upside down,

Here's one I just noticed: this right-click menu isn't respecting dark mode! (I have both Windows 10 and Edge set to dark mode). If this isn't technically an Edge bug, can you please ask the Windows team to fix this one?

Add back the ability to click buttons in the context menu using right-click. This used to be such a great way to quickly navigate the web but it was removed a while ago.

Where can I find patch notes for each new build that is pushed out?
Why not a patch note link or text in the About page?

  JarleH for the Dev channel, every weekly update shows you a welcome page upon startup (for example, this week's showed you https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/welcome/update?channel=dev&version=78.0.268.3). If you click the "more" link on the first tile titled "Dev channel update for September 10", it will show a button for the Change Summary, which brings you to our weekly release notes post on this forum. That tile will be in the same place every week.
  
  Also Deleted the change list for each Dev release is basically the same as a week's worth of lists for Canary releases, except that individually, the notes for each Canary release would be too short to be worth reading, and we've got many more users on Dev than we do Canary.

    I am running the beta branch, so I am missing some kind of internal patch notes/summery/etc.
    Microsoft Edge
    Microsoft Edge is up to date.
    Version 77.0.235.25 (Official build) beta (64-bit)

I'd love to be able to use the "Read Aloud" feature while working with PDFs. I still use the non-chromium Edge for that reason alone. And this would be specially good because of the improved high quality voices available now!

How about adding a built in video downloader. Some users don't like to trust third party extensions since adding those give them (extension vendors) permissions to tinker with web site data. And we don't know what they do with read and change permissions. And can you add built in support for Tor mode (Onion links) . Currently Chromium based Brave browser supports this.

  I wonder whether that built-in video downloader would support Youtube videos 🙂
  it might be unrelated to your request but I use a free piece of software called Jdownloader (jdownloader.org) and it works without extension. so all i do is to copy the link of the page where there is a video to my clipboard, like YouTube, Vimeo etc and it automatically starts downloading it. supports tons of websites

I really enjoyed the sync Microsoft Account login and enjoyed even more when you bring sync AAD account, but not everyone are on AAD, so why not sync with local Active Directory?
It could have an ADMX template so it can sync with AD account.
