Note: This is no longer the most recent top feedback summary. You can always find the latest at https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback.
Hi everyone, this week’s update is a quick one. This week we’re highlighting one piece of top feedback that’s been addressed: You can now remove the Send feedback smiley button from the toolbar.
To remove it, just right click on it and choose Hide from toolbar and it will disappear from view. Once it’s gone from the tollbar, you can still find the option by opening the Settings and more (…) menu and choosing Help and feedback. You can click the Send feedback option here to open the feedback window, or you can right click on it and choose Show in toolbar to put the smiley back. And of course you can always use Alt+Shift+I to open the feedback window directly.
While this item just landed on our top feedback list last week, the feature request was not new and like many fixes and improvements we started working on it before it had enough support to be considered “top feedback”.
Here is the full updated list of top feedback:

Thanks for update!
The favicon that appeared while pages were loading is gone, won't it come back in other updates?

about that, some people here thought it was a bug (while it actually was a new feature), so the developers removed it due to Some people's complains.
I liked it though

Let's make a bigger voice and let the development team know what the user needs.

@David Rubino I would still like Edge to be able to generate passwords when you setup accounts on sites like chrome does, this is a great feature to ensure we use complex passwords instead of using the same one over and over.

@David Rubino Feature Request : Fullscreen Tab Navigation
Dear Good people at Microsoft,
I kindly request you to improve Tab Navigation while using Full screen. Firefox has made their navigation such a joy to use if you're working on multiple tabs as you can see in the images below. If you have multiple tabs and you want to move to the next full screen tab, all you need to do is to hover your mouse to the tab area, and you'll be able to navigate to the next full screen tab without having to exit, previous tab returns back to full screen.
Microsoft Edge on the other hand requires you to exit full screen on the current tab in order to navigate to the next tab. You have to click full screen button to exit or press F11 THEN Click full screen button again or press F11 to open the next tab. There's just too much unnecessary clicks and pressing buttons if you have work that involves a lot of going back and forth.
Firefox has a decent implementation that improves ease of use. I kindly ask you to relay this information to Edge developers for consideration and implementation. It will be one more reason that Microsoft will give us to keep sticking with Edge instead of jumping back to Firefox.
.
Firefox Full screen Tab Navigation
Microsoft Edge Full screen tab navigation

@David Rubino I would love to see Google Account integration. People who don't want it can simply not use the feature.

@HotCakeX Bookmark syncing between edge and chrome, web history syncing with google. And all the other kinds of syncing.
Oct 18 2019 03:20 AM
Google is a data mining company, even if users don't use Google services on Edge browser, the fact that they will be inside Microsoft Edge browser is problematic. lots of people choose Microsoft Edge to get away from Google. Microsoft spent lots of time scrapping Google services and tools from the Chromium source and create a Google-free browser. that doesn't make slightest sense to bring them back.
also if syncing bookmarks is the case, users can already import them from browser to browser using the built in options. and if anything, Google must add Microsoft account support to their browser First.

The old Edge has same feature
Oct 19 2019 05:03 AM
I'm also voting for the 'set aside' feature of the old Edge because as a student I found myself and I think many more being very appreciatable about that one.
Also the ability to draw on web pages or even an pdf is really helpful for daily tasks.
Right now I'm fine using the old edge for that kind of task but for future inprovements on the new one are those ones a must have.
Also I'm seeing more battery usage on the new Edge the old one is still king in this scope.
I don't know how much you guys can improve that one because of the new architecture but maybe introducing a low power mode would be an option.
Keep going. :thumbs_up:

I've sent to you several times feedback about the Feedback tool in Edge Canary, it doesn't show the screenshot, you always get a black screen. In Edge Dev work perfectly, I would like to take this issue in consideration because it's hard not to use screenshots to explain anything mostly if you're not an english native like me.
I hope you check this.
Great job, loving Edge :)
