Whew! Thanks for the explanation from the developer, it's great to hear that the features are still coming. It's the one thing from Chrome that I miss.
Incidentally, I noticed in the latest stable Chrome that they added the cool favicon/spinner animation that Edge sadly removed in the last build. Hopefully that will make its way back in too. I thought it was very helpful.
You're welcome ^^
Yes absolutely, to me History and Extension sync are as important as favorite sync
Yeah, when it was added, some people in this forum posted that it's a bug, I knew it was a new feature but since other people asked to be removed, Edge devs removed it..

@josh_bodner this release claims there are fixes to IE Mode, however, I can't see IE Mode in all recent releases, though it's enabled in flags. How to work with it?
Oct 09 2019 05:51 AM
Hi,
in addition to enabling the flags related to IE mode, you also need to add the group policy files to your computer/server for the Edge insider, only Dev and Beta are supported for now.
you can get the policy files from here:

@HotCakeXThank you!
I hope IE Mode will get much easier to use, not only enterprises need it. For instance, there are banking and tax management applications written in Java (due to need to use cryptography, I believe), which require launching java plug in. And it looks like it's much easier for a consumer to launch IE directly than to configure IE Mode in Edge Preview.

@josh_bodner no audio in dev edge on a sp6 since update. I was running the canary, it updated, lost all audio and i couldn't get it working again, so I switched to dev, and now that dev has updated it's not working again. Any ideas?

@atifchy I also am seeing this issue with the laggy YouTube videos.

Happy to see the Renderer Code Integrity issue being addresses. This one had pushed me back to Firefox (ack!) as I posted about in the forums. Glad to be back on the dev and beta. ;)

@josh_bodner favorites are still self migrating off the favorites bar when rearranged.

@HotCakeX You will understand it after seeing this images.
⬆ that happens after clicking esc.
Also I was having black screen on some videos so I disabled hardware acceleration video decode.

Environment friendly feedback - aka recycled since none of it has been done and is blocking for a browser change
1. Google integration - No thanks. I value privacy - not Google profit
2. Fix the favorites icon - it's still the wrong one
3. Add these buttons to the favorites menu
3. prevent mouse button hijacking
4. Fix Epub

Thanks, Yes I have the same black bar at the bottom that appear for a few milliseconds after I click on the full screen button.
This happens on Chrome, Edge insider and Edge classic, (on Edge classic it's white bar instead of black)
I think it's a problem with YouTube website itself. it can't be that all of these browsers have bug even when they have different engines (EdgeHTML and Chromium).

I got a SP6 and I got sound in both canary and dev. Both fully updated so it's not a affecting all error.

I can't use the smiley face icon or menu to Send Feedback. Clicking on either will crash Edge.
UPDATE: It seems to be working now. Not sure what was causing the crash issue, but it was a fresh install on a (practically) brand new MacBook Pro running Catalina. Edge was installed after the Catalina update.
The high CPU usage and fan seems to mostly come into play when a video is playing in chrome (including autoroll ads on news sites), but I've not narrowed it down entirely.
