Thank you very muchElliot Kirk
Testing out IE mode in our enterprise environment and it's working great. With the Legacy Browser Support addon it's seamless already. Great work.
Looking forward to the production version so we can ditch IE/UWP Edge ;)
Elliot Kirk When do you think we'll be able to see Fluent Design in the form of acrylic added?
Elliot Kirk Is there any plan for adding the Set aside tabs feature back into Edge? As an enterprise business Admin, several unique Edge features are what drove user adoption. This feature, in particular, is a favorite among our users. I fear if it is not included in the Chromium version of Edge, user adoption will plummet. This is such a powerful tool for users who need to stay organized with their web research and web-based applications.
- 77.0.211.3 just installed, what changed?
- Don't know. I've got the same build. May be security patch.
Elliot Kirk Why is the HTTPS:// suddenly gone? It is kind of annoying when I need to change the URL and it suddenly pops back up.

ditto. why? that's something i've always hated about chrome's ui with this. makes no sense that when you copy the url it actually copies the hidden https://, when my eyes tell me it should only be copying url without the https://.
Elliot Kirk Great work folks, thanks for all the effort. Good to see you continue to make progress towards being able to sign in using a corporate O365 account - any idea when this will be available please as it's the big improvement we're waiting for.

This is not working... As you can see one of the extensions I use as of today (7/11/2019) has crashed and did not "Automatically repair its self...
Had to manually click the "repair" option...
Dennis5mileJust wanted to throw some love out to the dev team - I've been so impressed with this effort, I've already replaced Chrome as my primary browser. I really hope the stashed open tabs and the drawing controls remain, but everything else has been incredible and the resource use is head and shoulders above other browsers that I've historically used. Keep it up, folks!
Thanks for the updates, things are looking great. Especially the new folder icons! I agree with everyone else praising the new icons; the new yellow color is so much better and looks great on the favorites bar.
