Fine ,and thank you!
I'm still waiting for the possibility to use my Google Keep save app.
Signing in does not work. I'm sure you know, and you told us earlier.
Otherwise fine

@Magalm Actually the extension with connectivity to google not work well on edge and it's normal since the use on chrome the google account linked to chrome.
I don't think it would be resolved by microsoft, but google is the one to contact (the must modify the extension to work outside of chrome i think).

You can always just drag a favorite to the desktop. Personally I never use this feature, but find the "Install this site as an app" feature to be INCREDIBLY useful, because then you can pin it wherever you want...taskbar, start menu, desktop...and it runs as a separate app in the taskbar.

"Pin this page to start" was always an option that is now missing though. @Drew1903

@josh_bodner Actually i don't have the newtab and new inprivate tab on rightclick on the edge icon on the taskbar (on the canary one it appear, but not on the dev one), there is a trick to force it to appear ?
Thanks !

@Deleted I might be mistaken here, but MS DEV said that some Chrome extension does not work yet. Same platform - Chromium, isn't it?

@josh_bodner Yeah all of that is cool, but can you fix the issue with the microphone not interacting with anything for the next update?
I've been trying to use some google services that required microphone, and it doesn't respond at all.
I hope you can get a solution, Thanks!

There is another issue of frequently crashing extensions. I observed that this happens in other chromium projects, so I chose to try a workaround applied for the other browser. It didn't seem to work, so I think it is specific to Edge. Please take a look.

Oops, just my messing up with the flow of notes in here, sometimes (again). :face_with_rolling_eyes: & or who the OP is/was. :thinking_face: Still, trying to pin down what the "it' was, LOL. But, cool to know we were/are on the same wavelength, whatever the topic was 🤷:male_sign: LMAO.

@miwebguy
"do you get something different by pinning?"
3 things:
1. You get the actual site. No need for shortcuts.
2. You don't get a shortcut on the desktop. :thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
3. You get proper, better, easier, more productive access
4. You don't get a shortcut on the desktop
NB: One works from the always visible taskbar. One's screen is not, really, a storage place. Nor does one want or need icons over pretty desktops; blessed be the Desktop toolbar for accessing what few desktop icons there may be (not showing).
Cheers,
Drew
