Elliot Kirk Still having issues with extensions crashing, manly lastpass.
LastPass CrashIt doesn't matter if we use Canary or Dev, it happens in both and has done since about the 3rd update. Whilst I understand that these are test versions, it's still annoying as I use LastPass for everything, so testing suffers due to LastPass crashing and then locking me out and I have to jump through many hoops to log back in again.
It's not only LastPass, a couple of other extensions also crash. What is strange though is that the dev and Canary versions of Google Chrome do not have this issue. The extensions on Edge are from the Microsoft store. I tried the same ones from the google extension store and the same thing happens, so it doesn't seem to matter where they are acquired.
So far, this is the only issue I've found and I really love Edge (chromium) as it just seems much better than Chrome.Elliot Kirk I would love to test AAD integration with SSO and an enterprise account. but if I log off with my private account and want to re-login -- I dont get any other option than "personal MS account".
how to I enter my company account from AAD?
thx
Yellow folders are very welcome, they existed in the old Edge and it makes totally sense to have them here as well, old folders were too Chrome-esque, and the less this browser looks like a Google product, the better
I just tested the SSO with Azure AD with one of my Enterprise Applications and it is prompting for a password. Are their any setting that need to be set for this to work?
When will you guys be working on the "my feed" section that appears when using the "informational layout" for new tabs?
I would like to request the ability to customize this section, similar to what google does, on a card by car basis, with no particular news aggregate set as default.
Read Aloud option doesn't appear in PDFs.
Elliot Kirk did you fix that Lastpass bug?
Elliot Kirk Dark mode is one of the most needed feature in a browser. If you include this extension's features into the Edge, it'd be perfect
