Note: This is no longer the most recent top feedback summary. You can always find the latest at https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback.
Hey everyone, back again with another update to our top feedback summary. This week we don’t have any newly addressed feedback, but we do have two new items on the list.
First, we’re hearing feedback that you are interested in seeing the OneNote Web Clipper extension in the Microsoft Edge Insider Addons store. We will look into the status of getting this extension into our store, but in the meantime you can install it from the Chrome Web Store. To do so, open Settings and more (…) and choose Extensions. If it’s not enabled already, toggle Allow extensions from other stores and when prompted choose Allow. Now you can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store including the OneNote Web Clipper.
We’re also getting feedback about feedback . . . specifically the ask to be able to remove the send feedback “smiley” button from the toolbar. While we love getting your feedback, we’ll take this request under consideration and have a response soon.
Here is the full updated list of top feedback:

While we love getting your feedback, we’ll take this request under consideration and have a response soon.
Speaking of response soon, can we please have a response soon on how the UI is going to be changed? There have been requests to bring back the menu buttons layout like how old edge was and to make the InPrivate button blue and square. Can we please have a response. I for one would like to see it be much closer to the old edge than google chrome.

Thank you!
for the Canary folks reading this, you can go ahead and remove Send Feedback smiley button from the toolbar already if you're on the latest update:
so not sure why Mr. Rubino said that they are still considering it!
anyway :)
Here we go again:
Please don't pass the google integration, keep this browser Pure from data miner companies.
Thank you!

@HotCakeX good eye! You can also right-click the smiley itself to hide it, just like the favorites menu button.

Thank you! hopefully collections button will get the same treatment

@David Rubino actually I sent a feedback about the automatic screenshot when you use the feedback button always appears all black, I don't know if you're working on it, because I'm eager to send you more feedback.

Whoa... Was reading this and seeing the Mr. Smiley being able to be removed from tool bar and I look up and he is gone!! EEEEkkkk.. I want him right where he was.. Fortunately you can find him under "Help and Feedback" and right click to show on tool bar.....
And I agree.... Lets keep the "Data Miners" (Google) out of here!

@David Rubino I CANNOT believe that I still have to manually pull up the handwriting input panel when I'm using my Surface with a pen!

@joshcsmith13 I agree. Pen/ink support for address bar would be a step in the "natural digital" direction :) (And I just posted feedback about it)

@David Rubino We really need current Microsoft features for edge pdf reader like highlights. Microsoft Edge is the best pdf reader right now for many users and people like me work a lot with that. please bring it to the new MS Edge and please add an inside pdf translator, that would be great! Thank you!

@David Rubino Are there any plans to offer being simultaneously authenticated with different accounts in different tabs? Specifically, I use multiple Azure tenants at the same time and struggle to keep them separate because of credential context bleed. While the browser does, if you will, cache login status for different creds, it gets confused if I try and work in different tenants at the same time. To get around this I use a "normal" and InPrivate window, but I also have to use other browsers as this trick only gives me two authenticated contexts. It would be super helpful to be able to have a different security/auth context for different tabs, or at least different private sessions (although I am aware of the potential security concerns there). I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as I am sure I am not the first to ask ;)

Hi,
I suggested something like this about a month ago but for some reason it wasn't paid enough attention to, I think that it would fix your problem if it was implemented

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

I would like to be able to do the same with the profile button. It's kind of useless in restricted environments where no cloud accounts are allowed

Hi, Please take this issue - "Make tabs more square and less rounded, like the current version of Microsoft Edge" on priority. Please make it squared like original Edge or Firefox. It would really help in focusing browser content and remove UI fatigue. Thanks.

I like how it is now...
it's barely even 1 pixel curve, almost all modern programs and UI use smooth edges and not sharp ones.

You guys are the best microsoft. You listened to feedback and made the InPrivate icon square. Now all that's left to do is color it blue and it's done. It'll look even better if it was colored in blue similar to old edge and internet explorer.
