Greetings Microsoft Edge Insiders!
Let us start off by saying, welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider community! We’re so excited to have you here, and we can’t wait to start learning from you. If you haven’t read our Welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider community article yet, we recommend starting there. It has a bunch of great information on how we got here and where we’re heading.
Our mission:
Our mission is to create a thriving community of valuable Insiders, like you, so we can closely listen and learn how Microsoft Edge can be better. We believe that having open, honest, and continued conversations with our Insider community is a great way to build a close relationship with our users.
Why do all of this? Because we want to build a browser that’s deeply grounded in your needs. Your voice is the most important piece of helping us build a better Microsoft Edge. The feedback you provide leads to meaningful conversations that may ultimately produce the new features, bug fixes, and other improvements that matter the most to you. Listening is just the beginning for us. Our true goal is to build Microsoft Edge with the voice of the Insider community as our guiding light.
Community voice
When we announced the next version of Microsoft Edge back in December, we asked a simple question: If you could change one thing about the web, what would it be?
We were completely humbled by the over 40k comments you’ve shared with us. That’s a whole lot of ideas. Thank you!
You tell us that you love some things about the current Microsoft Edge browser, like the smooth scrolling experience, our Fluent Design and the precision touchpad, and you hope we’ll bring those things forward into the next version too.
Some of you are frustrated with the way that sites render so differently depending on the browser you're using to view them. You also tell us that Web Standards are on the top of your mind. We hear that you want all browsers to adopt the same standards. We hear from some of you web developers that you want new capabilities added to the web platform; whether that be in CSS, HTML or JavaScript. Another top request is an improved dev tools experience.
We hear that you have strong feelings about online advertising. Some of you wish ads that pop-up would just disappear and the same for auto-playing ads. While others feel a strong desire to remove or fundamentally change how online advertising works on the web. There is concern how these advertisements enable sites to track you as you browse which feels "creepy" and "invasive."
The overwhelming majority of comments (we’re talking thousands of messages) that we have read wish for a change in the fundamental attributes of the web. Make it faster, safer, more reliable and more private. You want your browsers to have smaller memory footprints, lower battery consumption, higher rendering speed and better stability. We agree with you wholeheartedly! The attributes that you say matter most in your browsing experience are performance, privacy, and reliability. So that is where we are starting.
We are focusing on delivering outstanding fundamentals. Speed, stability, accessibility, compatibility, security, and privacy are always top of mind for us. We are using your comments and suggestions to guide us while we are getting the new Microsoft Edge ready for its debut.
What’s next?
In the meantime, jump in, download the Microsoft Edge Insider Channels, and let us know what you think. What’s working well? Where do we need to improve? Over time, we hope to build healthy engagement and feedback loops with our community members.
We’re also mindful that our users have preferred ways to engage with us. Whether you view the latest information on the Microsoft Edge Insider website, enjoy direct discussions on our forum, need a personal support assistant via help (F1), share your feedback and suggestions via the smiley face, or just want to give us a shout on Twitter, we’re always listening and looking for ways to reach out wherever our users feel most comfortable and prefer to talk to us. We’re all ears!
Thank you for being here. We look forward to listening and engaging with you.

I don't know if ALL pages work correctly but there is a browser called Slimjet that, I think, works very well, is based on Chromium and has many things you can tweak. In my opinion is one of the best browsers there is.

AVI files are bigger than mp4, webm and ogg files.
So most websites don't use AVI files as they are slow to download.
It works with mp4, webm and ogg (The main ones used on the web)
Most of YouTube videos are mp4.

@Elliot Kirk Hello team Microsoft Edge. Today I faulty as below screenshot, I use Windows 7. How to fix it. please

@DeathEvil2704
We'll see what Elliot may say; 'til then, here's my 2 cents:
If that is the Edge Insider that is blank...
>> Uninstall whatever Channel it is.
>> Grab a fresh Download of whatever Channel you were using/want to use. Find that HERE.
>> Install the new download
>> Try using
>> Please answer the questions that follow
Any better? Any change, now?
Cheers,
Drew

@Drew1903 Hi Drew1903. I tried a lot of times but not. My friend using Windows 7 also crashes similar :(

@DeathEvil2704
I see. Well, I'm afraid there is not enough info to guess at what the root cause could be & ergo, how to fix. It does make it tempting to remind & repeat that it is extremely wise to move from 7 to 10 and increases by the day as we approach end of support for 7 this spring or January, anyway, SOON. This urging, of course, is regardless of Edge C, but, in general.
Certainly, we know Edge Beta can run on 7, but, that doesn't mean can know why yours won't.
Cheers,
Drew

@Elliot Kirk I was just going to try the new Edge Beta for Mac. However, the download is for an installer package. I will NOT use an installer package for a browser. In fact, I won't use an installer package for just about anything. If Microsoft won't ship the browser for Mac via a DMG, I won't be using it.
Also, please see these tweet and it's followup: https://twitter.com/JustinNoelDev/status/1191713194777235456

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm not a Mac guy, so I don't even know what a DMG is, and how it differs from an installer.

Dan
