David Rubino Also for the sake of all loyal Microsoft users, don't add the feature to login with Google account in Microsoft Edge browser. you've spent lots of times removing Google services from the engine, it doesn't make sense to add them again. Only do it After Google adds login with Microsoft account to their Chrome browser first.

David Rubino They seem good but one of the most important one is missing: Ability to attach custom screenshots when sending Feedback using smiley button.there are lots of Feedbacks about UI and other bugs missing because the auto screen capture feature is not enough and won't work in many situations. because when we click on the smiley button, that situation and bug will be gone and we won't be able to capture it with the current tool. we have to use another tool such as Windows' snipping tool or Snip & Sketch.These tools i mentioned have the ability to be launched using a keyboard button like PrintScrn.so no mouse movement or mouse click will intervene. Alternative is to Add a shortcut button to launch the "Send Feedback" inside Edge insider browser.

I think the same result could be achieved by setting the Edge to use light color and set Windows color to yellowish. cause in your picture the title bar is colored but not the toolbar which is the only reason one would use themes, right?

David Rubino - thank you for the updates. A few notes from me: - make the address bar smaller. A "normal" 9pt font is enough there- cut a few pixels from the favorites bar- enable a "compact" mode like in, for example, the Mail app, which would make all menu items have less padding, similar to how the default context menu looks like in Explorer- dark mode improvements: the new tab page should, of course, become darker. Reduce all kinds of white flicker when opening a new tab- dark mode: a dark scrollbar is a must- we need Edge to be the best possible demonstration of Fluent. Add acrylic stuff, reveal stuff, everything 😉 Rounded corners are fine Minor stuff:- add the ability to hide extension icons like in Vivaldi. Do not hide them in the [...] menu, just roll them into a single icon- add the ability to disable all extensions for a particular website- add separators to favorites, including the favorites bar- don't just look at feedback sent by the feedback smiley icon, but also this forum 😉- add "show image" to context menu, besides the "open image in new tab". - add a context menu to all possible places in the UI. I see my profile icon and don't want to? Let me right click it and select "hide profile icon", etc.- change DirectWrite contrast value for fonts to make them more like in original Edge and Firefox. The letters in Chromium based browsers are often too thin- make pinned tabs impossible to close, for example, if the browser crashes for some reason and I don't click the 'restore tabs' option, the browser should start with a home tab *and* previously pinned tabs edit to add:- the favorites icon shows my favorites bar list, it should only show "other favorites"- add the ability to move the toolbar buttons- add "rewind" and "fast forward" buttons. Could be as an advanced appearance setting if considered confusing to some users That's about it for now 😉

Yeah i know right? when i hover my mouse cursor over it doesn't say anything, there is also no indication of possible shotcuts for that. i'm interested to know how did he find out.

Please don't.
I see no particular reason to allow this.

  Agree! Why would you allow/givepermission to a super major datamining company like google to track what your doing from an MS browser.... You might as well take your tracking protection feature and throw it in the trash....

David Rubino Thanks for all the updates, but I notice there seems to be a lack of information about when we're getting Tab and History sync?

This is such a key feature of Chrome and essential to making the browser useful on multiple computers and devices.

Is there an actual ETA, as I notice Sync has fallen off the "coming soon" list too?

Thanks!

Super excited for the implementation to provide an option to prevent auto-play of video and audio when you open a website.

I joined specifically to mention that this should be a feature and here it is already planned. Loving this version of Edge so far, keep it up folks!

My install for Edge Dev has stopped loading web pages. It was working fine until I updated it. I am using Edge at work, in an enterprise environment. I had installed it with the option to do it as a non-admin, and it was fine. Now it loads all my tabs, but none of the pages load. My installs of Chrome and Firefox still work fine, it's just Edge that isn't loading pages.

    Having been non-step on Canary build since the launch of Edge insider program, I've had none of these weird issues, ever.
    it's the safest and most stable version.
    i still have no idea why people still use Dev.
    
    i mean there is a newer version of the program but you intentionally choose to use an older version.
    if these problems occurred in Canary build, it would have been solved in less than 24 hours.

David Rubino The addition of the favorite button is amazing, but it should be a pane not a menu like it is now in Edge Canary. The style of the favorite pane from the current Edge is great because it is so fluent with the rest of the browser interface. And that gives a modern look, also when a clean setup is commenced only the current Edge favorites should appear, for example; Edge should be the first section in the pane then other browser favorites in the next panes if chosen to import those favorites. Because having them mixed isn't great because, the user has to go all the way to the bottom to find their favorites from Edge than open another interface from that favorite menu.

  Yes totally agree the current Edge's UI is the best!
  also about bookmark/favorites import from other browsers, they do get added in a separate folder. for example when i import my favorites from google chrome, they go to a folder called google chrome or something like that in the Edge insider favorites list.

  I think Chrome is trying to stay one step ahead or different lol. Both Chromium and Chrome Canary are experimenting in flags with an extensions button to menu while Edge just added the favorites button to menu yet Chromium/Chrome doesn't have the favorites button to menu option (and it's not in their flags). If that makes sense lol. The extension button looks and acts the same in Chromium as the favorites button does in Edge C. The favorites button in Edge is for me, it does what it's suppose to do without being over complicated (even though I currently have it hidden due to using the favorites toolbar instead).

Please fix: Edge automatically signs me into accounts when the Settings>Profiles>Passwords>Sign in automatically = Off

Please add:
- More granular control of tracker exceptions directly from address bar fly-out.
- Add granular control on individual script exceptions directly from address bar fly-out. Brave Beta browser (= Edge Dev) has this feature and it's great.

  Yes, I had this problem too, even if I hit sign in with another account I won't be able to change the username before I am redirected to the site. The only way I've been able to stop it is if I hit the quit loading page x.

    I finally found this flag "Fill password on account selection" which gets the setting to work. Why does MS include a setting that only works if a flag is enabled? Sorry, I love where Edge is going but this is typical MS. I thought the Edge team was trying to shed that image... we'll see.
