Hi sambul95 - Sure thing! We'll have a group of folks including (but not limited to) the below in the room taking questions. Because everyone has busy schedules and we have team members around the world, we'll have a ton more folks participating remotely to contribute answers who aren't able to join in the room. We're looking forward to a great event!

Thanks, its an impressive list. Program Managers want to get feel of Edge insiders community. Would be nice to run it as audio or video conference though. Pls post the event recordings.

 

Collecting questions? Here we go:

1. Expected media playback improvements in Edge Chromium? HTTP & torrent streaming, M3U8 & codecs support, Media Devices control?

2. Browser efficiency: faster rendering, battery backup, tabs discarding, lazy page load, better RAM and cache control, improved GPU support?

3. Work flow: Timeline, Sync, make & export notes, search engine choice, Tabs management (groups, tree, switch & close & open order), webpage links handling (images, video, file download links, open in), save to MHT, New Tab controls?

4. International: richer English spellcheck vocabulary & better word suggestions, webpage translation with preserved format (Taobao.com CN as test target), translation tools choice (Google, MS)? Fix high CPU and GPU load on RU and EU region pages?

5. Chrome extensions and apps compatibility, themes support? PNACL & Arc Welder support for Google & Android apps?

6. IE ActiveX, enterprise security features, plans on ads and media blocking controls?

7. Edge Community forum moderation: less topics duplication, clear thread titles, community accessible feature development & bug tracker with vote option? Balancing user groups feature requests (old Edge vs Chrome fans), periodic WebRTC conferences with devs?

 

Since some insider folks might not be able to attend, pls answer the above questions anyway during the event. Happy biking! 😊
