Experience Settings > Feed Settings > Reactions & Comments are frequently broken with MS Edge
Repro:
1) open MS Edge (all updates completed and restart performed)
2) Click 'Personalize' > Experience Settings > Feed Settings
3) Verify that 'Reactions' and 'Comments' are turned OFF (they are)
4) Click on 'My Feed' or load Edge Start page
(Inconsistent) Results: Reactions and Comments are shown.
Notes: I see this briefly break nearly every week, usually corrected the same day. Today this code magically corrected itself (again) while writing this defect, just like last time. Perhaps a deeper issue is causing failure in the methods you are using to 'switch UI modes' AFTER loading the UI without hiding the reactions & comments. Wrap the function in a try-catch and post to the event log, maybe?
>> Screen capture added that shows it failing HALF way through page load. Note the image boxes without reactions at the top, some ads, then boxes WITH reactions.
Addl Notes: Most top nav link like 'Local' or 'Money' results in pages that RARELY respect this setting. I will avoid these pages until fixed.
Please add this test to your developer's regression test matrix. Without this ability your pages essentially become extensions to social media which IMHO is unacceptable for news feeds in nearly every way.
Thank you
