Thanks again for being an insider, and see you next week.

Nice. I hope we get more customization with the new tab tiles, like change favicons/images and adding more than one line of sites.
And what this means? "Downloads, Extensions, Favorites, History, and Settings all have refreshed colors and layout." I don't see any difference.

Hello @David Rubino,
Thank's you man ❤;):beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: !
Again this problem :
1- https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/play-sfr-fr-home/m-p/468871#M1571
2- The checkbox to check in the webmail is too smaill in comparison with IE and CANARY/DEV EDGE, possible to enlarge it (webmail.sfr.fr). The box will just allow me to select the mail to perform an action.
3- The website tv.sfr.fr/television-sur-ordinateur-par-internet/ isn't on HTTPS (never), because always I look the URL "not secure"...why ?

web.whatsapp.com doesn't display images anymore. User avatars, smileys, gifs, uploaded pictures, everything is blank now. Worked fine in dev build 75!

@David Rubino I just installed this version and noticed Reading View is back! However, this version (while obviously newly implemented) kind of sucks.
I love Reading View on the original Edge browser with it's paged, horizontal scrolling. I'm not sure if it's limitations of the Chromium project but this display should at least be an option to enable.
Here's why it works best presented that way (for me, that is). Knowing how many "pages" there were to read has been a significant boost to my ability to read longer articles/posts on a screen. I know I could blast through a 5 "page" article in just a few minutes, but if pages went longer, I knew to add it to the Reading List, which I also love and can't wait to see implemented.
With the original Edge window wide enough, instead of a single column (like is available now), it would break into 2 columns. Combined, the overall effect when reading articles was great in reducing any "fatigue" (for lack of better word).
So here's hoping the original Edge's Reading View approach can be mimicked in Chromium Edge soon.
Other than that, and the anticipation of the Reading List and fuller syncing, I'm loving what the team is doing.

@David Rubino The option of sorting favorites should be additionally placed (in favorites management) on the left side, where you can find the options Add favorites, Add folders, etc. This would be a more convenient solution.

@David Rubino, Hi sir, it would nice if can have a custom zoom %, the current ones are ether too big or too small. Also after we downloaded some files, the status bar at the page bottom offers options like "open file", " open folder" & etc. After selection the status bar remains, it possible make it disappear just like the current edge browser. Forgive me for my poor english, thanks...

@David Rubino Great Job guys! I'm using EdgeDev since first dev release. Better replace to Chrome memory monster :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
In this version i can sync history and fav with Edge for IOS too? Only Android for now?

@David Rubino - I'm running Version 76.0.152.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit), but don't see an option for a dark theme that's referenced in the release notes.
05-10-2019 08:31 AM
@chris_conley go to edge://flags/ to enable
05-10-2019 08:35 AM
I'm running version "Version 76.0.152.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)" and it doesn't say [inprivate] for an imprivate window like it's supposed to be showing.

@David Rubino Hi seems to be running smooth, would love to be able to tell edge to open ALL CLICKED LINKS to a different web site in a new tab and to switch to that new tab. Like we used to be able to do way back when. Thanks.

Estoy usando como predeterminado Edge Dev el cual me parece fantástico, mucho mejor que el Edge HTML que usaba anteriormente, lo que no entiendo es como no la han incorporado el traductor como prioridad, no se puede interactuar con el y tengo que estar volviendo continuamente al otro para ciertas tareas como esta que estoy escribiendo, gracias y saludos. @David Rubino

The site is working well. Please check your clock settings.

@The_Real_Crusader Paste the following in the address bar to go to the right flag to set it:
chrome://flags/#edge-follow-os-theme
Set the flag for Microsoft Edge theme to Enabled. This will set Dark Mode based on the Operating System setting, so after you click the Relaunch button on the bottom right after changing the option to Enabled you may still have the Light Mode. To change Windows 10 to use the Dark Mode theme you need to launch the Settings app on Windows 10 and navigate to the following path:
Settings > Personalization > Colors > More Options
Under More Options there is Choose your default app mode, change it from Light to Dark. It will change Edge straight away, as well as your Settings app and any other app that uses this setting, like most Microsoft Store apps.

@David Rubino Hello. I have found a issue. The voice search does not work in any product of google. Neither in google search, nor in google translate. Please look into this issue and fix it.

Even with the change in Gray rather than White background, the text needs to be darker.
For those that are visually impaired such as myself it is much easier to read the bold text rather than regular.
When I switched Flags to Dark Mode the Flag page background changed to black and was/is much easier to read. I was happy until I switched to reading pages such as this which are hard to read. I end up having to zoom in on webpages because the text is not dark enough.
When switching to dark mode, why can't the background be dark as it is on the Flags page. This would be easier to read.
Thanks for listening.

Hi there,
I'm trying to use Read aloud on the PDF reader and It doesn't work. Is that an expected behavior?
05-11-2019 10:03 PM
@Jhawk55 Zoom is customizable. Simply use CTRL+Scroll Mouse or Keyboard Shift+Ctrl with + or - buttons.
05-11-2019 10:08 PM
@chris_conley
In the URL type about:flags
Search for #edge-follow-os-theme and enable it.

Nice additions! But, I am experiencing an issue with the latest update: In the Downloads page, now it shows the hard drive icon instead of the designated icon:
I already reported this error in-app. So, I hope it would be fixed in the next update.
Additionally, I have a suggestion as well:
In the Downloads page, the date being shown should be relative (Today/Yesterday/This Month/Earlier) instead of absolute, like how Google Chrome does.

@David Rubino can you consider two things in relation to the quick links on the new tab page.
1) Allow the name to be renamed. Right click?
2) That when you press add, that you allow favorites to be added so you don't have to manually enter the URL.
Thanks

Another great feature would be making it possible to add more than one line of sites/tiles.

@David Rubino voice search is not working on google translate and google search in Microsoft edge dev. Fix the issue soon.

Russian translation of menu and settings is simply broken in this update. Also, there is something wrong with avatars in social network "VK", they just not displaying in "messages" menu and in your profile.

@Deleted, hi thanks for your reply. What I meant was custom zoom eg. like 118%, 120% or 122%. Hope this can be done in the future updates.

@3OJIOTO Thanks: that worked perfectly.
