Top feedback summary for September 17
Is there any news about the "under review" entries? they constitute the majority of the entries in this list and they are the most important ones as well.
the problems that are important and missing from the list:
1. when trying to print a webpage from the Reading View mode, it only shows 1 page available for print.
2. A/B testing is confusing, please consider giving all users in the same channel equal access to the features, just like Google Chrome Canary, beta etc.
3. don't add Google sign-in unless Google First adds Microsoft sign in to their Chrome browser.
- I think they should add google sign-in, just because there are many people using google account.
- "I think they should add google sign-in, just because there are many people using google account." You can of course create a Microsoft account using your gmail account, but it will still be a Microsoft account. I think people are expecting to be able to use their Google account without creating a Microsoft account, but the issue with this request is user expectations. ie. If you allow a Google sign in, are users going to expect favourites to be synced with Google Chrome? Is that even possible?

there is absolutely no need for google sign in. google users, if they don't have Microsoft account, can create one with their google account. they don't even need to create a new email address to have a Microsoft account.
Microsoft has already made it super easy for everyone to enjoy their products.
- but um that has 0 benefit for microsoft
Exactly.
let Google first add Microsoft sign-in to their Chrome browser. I bet they don't even consider it.
"2. A/B testing is confusing, please consider giving all users in the same channel equal access to the features, just like Google Chrome Canary, beta etc."
The worst part is when you have multiple installs on the same user account and you get a different set of features on each install! I have Open Tabs sync on two of my test systems but I still don't have it on my primary system -- all the same user account, all the same Edge Canary version. Argh!
seancorfield, HotCakeX, I understand the frustration, especially at a time when we are still rolling out new features fairly often. However, we need to be able to look at the statistics in as unbiased way as possible. We always want to balance the introduction of a new feature, with the continuing quality of the main browsing experience. Now that we have a Beta channel, you can set that as your main browser and have the same experience across all of your devices. The trade-off is that you won't see the latest features until they have made their way up into that branch. Thanks - Elliot
Elliot Kirk I appreciate the direct response to my complaint -- thank you. It's just very frustrating to have three Edge Canary installations on which to test features and have the feature only available on the two installations that I don't use anywhere near as much. It's especially frustrating that this is a synchronization feature so, of course, I want it on all my installations to test it as thoroughly as possible.
I don't want to have to switch to the Beta channel since the entire point of me using Canary is to test brand new features and provide early feedback and bug reports.
