Hello Microsoft Edge Insiders!
Ever since we first announced in December that Microsoft Edge was going to adopt the Chromium open source project for our desktop browser, we’ve been excited to begin launching our Insider community. The time has finally come, and everyone can try out the new version of the browser right now!
We want to use this opportunity to start building a close relationship with all of you. Going beyond collecting comments and reviews, we’re eager to listen and engage in active conversations with you. We believe your collective voices will help us build a better Microsoft Edge, and that’s our vision for this community.
With our recent adoption of Chromium, Microsoft Edge gets a chance to grow beyond its initial home on Windows 10. As we’ve reflected on the best ways to enable a new listening system to support other versions of Windows and platforms, we’ve realized that our goals should be based on what we want as customers, not as engineers or designers.
What would such a system look like? That’s where all of you come in. Based on the feedback you’ve graciously given us over the past few years, we know it’s important to be able to quickly and easily send us problems or suggestions from directly within the browser. You also want a way to engage meaningfully and deeply with the developers, as well as a way to get immediate support when you run into a problem that you can’t fix on your own.
Other Insider programs at Microsoft have provided good models for us to follow for our new community. However, the Microsoft Edge Insider community has one important difference: you don’t need to sign up. Just downloading and using the Microsoft Edge Canary, Dev, or Beta channels is enough.
We hope that this relationship can be beneficial for both parties. For you, this isn’t just about being a member of an active group of fellow browser enthusiasts. You also get: a chance to see new features before all the other Microsoft Edge users; an in-depth understanding of how and why we built them, a direct channel of communication with the engineers responsible for them, and the chance to critique them and suggest what we should build next. We at Microsoft get valuable early feedback, your verbal and written insights about what you do and don't like about a given feature or approach, which will help us steer the product in the right direction. The ability to dig deeper and understand the why behind the what, while learning from a large and diverse worldwide audience. Finally, through our continuing conversations, we hope Insiders will invite others in their own communities to come and join in our conversation.
So, what can you expect from us? As our new features start making their way into the builds, our goal is to publish at least one new article every other week to inform and encourage active discussions on the latest developments in the Insider channels. We are devoting some of our time to reading and responding to every thread, and you can expect direct interaction from the Microsoft Edge team that promotes the deepest, most enlightening discussions.
We’re fully committed to building an open, honest and respectful community of awesome Insiders like you. We hope you’ll join our discussions or start your own today.
Welcome to our community. We can’t wait to build a great Edge community together!

Hi @soleg278, I just wanted to let you know that we now have Microsoft Edge for x32 available in our Canary channel (version 75.0.133.0). It should appear in the next update or two for the Dev channel as well.

Hi @VinothkumaR NadarajaN, I just wanted to let you know that we now have 32 bit Microsoft Edge available for Windows 10. Support went live for version 75.0.133.0, yesterday in the Canary channel. It should make it to the Dev channel in the next update or so.

Hello All,
I would just like to ask where and what is being done about supporting VUDU.COM movie playback on the MS EDGE platform. Edge (Non-Beta), simply gets a PLAYBACK error, and just yesterday trying the latest BETA, I got (for those of can remember the days of Windows 3.0/3.1) VUDU's 4 square dots simply (Clocking, "spinning hourglass") spinning away being "Unresponsive" at this point in time had to force close the browser window? Just wondering. In the meantime I have to use IE, or another browser to enable FULL Movie Playback from https://www.vudu.com. -- Hope someone has an answer. -- Michael

Hi Guys,
The one thing that has irritated me about the New Edge Browser is when you go to your email account,
and put an email in a folder with the old Edge you put a check mark and can scroll up and down using
your mouse, but with the new Edge it won't let you, which takes too much time having to go all the
way to the right side moving the bar up and down. I'm hoping this is one of the things you change
because i'm not the only one that feels this way about this one; otherwise the new Edge is great &
i'm still learning everything about it.
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hello @Elliot Kirk. I'm getting hooked on Canary. It's very stable for a build that gets updated daily. Anyway, good job so far. There are a couple things I'd like to see.
That's it for now Keep up the good work!

@Elliot Kirk In Firefox I always used Tab Mix Plus, but stopped using this when FF went to Quantum (TMP no longer worked due to API deficiencies).
I have also tried OneTab on Chrome, which should work for my scenario but having to go into another place just isn't as prominent as having the tabs in your face screaming at you to finish your research/work :)
I think that a nice solution would be to allow a tab to be right-clicked so that you can add the URL to the "new tab" page easily; and optionally on the new tab page to have a folder that you can add URLs to (so you can group URLs into relevant workstreams).
Rgds,
Jim

Oops! Well, then, it should be, should have been. Good call-out :thumbs_up::thumbs_up: Considering it's something most everyone uses and wants. People like having it... Some have, even, said, it's their reason for preferring Edge.
Thanks, thought it was included. I will check.
Update: Actually, not sure to what or which "list" you refer. But, no matter, should be on every list.
Cheers,
Drew
