Elliot Kirk Web Push notifications still don't work for us
Will the future dark mode look something like this, with the Microsoft Logo background also being dark? Coz that would be amazing. Good work so far.Elliot Kirk
- wt. that's because that image itself is using a white background and not transparent. i assume you're using some extension that's making the website itself dark when it isn't.
Any news about the independent dark mode option?
- I agree with others that the yellow folders don't look great on the bookmark bar. The previous non-colored folders looked really classy and now the yellow ones make it look like it's old/stale Google Chrome again. Would love to have control to change these!
- he probado el navegador en la mayoría de características y complementos hasta el momento no me ha dado falla alguna, consume poca ram y su interfaz es muy limpia y minimalista, seria bueno que en idiomas fuera un poco mas fácil configurar el idioma ya que hay usuarios no ta avanzados.
- Thank you
Elliot Kirk There is a bug with Netflix where it has extreme stutters with full screen. Hardware doesn't seem to matter.
Windows 10 Pro build 1809
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
GPU: RX Vega 64
RAM: 32GB- When can I use themes in the Google Web Store?
Awesome on the latest features and behaviors.
The biggest needs for our agency is SSO and for the ability to be able to digitally sign pdfs in Edge browser with piv/smartcards. If this became an option to digitally sign pdfs in edge, then we would dump adobe dc/adobe reader in a heartbeat. Elliot Kirk
There's a tile on the main landing page about dark mode, but can't seem to find the feature anywhere in settings. Am I missing something? Elliot Kirk
