Microsoft Edge.. When viewing a PDF, I hope the table of contents does not disappear.
When viewing a PDF, Microsoft Edge I hope the table of contents doesn't disappear. When you click on a PDF or perform other actions, the table of contents disappears. I have to click every time to open the table of contents, but I wish there was a setting to always have the table of contents open.
Windows Edge not forgetting email address.
On one of my Windows 10 computers, I no longer want my email address associated with it. I did the following: 1- I signed out of the Microsoft account on my PC and logged in as a local account. 2- Under Email and Accounts, I deleted my email account shown in control panel. None show any longer. 3- All windows and credentials for windows and web were removed. 4- Signed out of edge. 5- Repaired and edge. (Microsoft does not allow an uninstall.) 6- Told control panel to stop automatically sign in. Now when I start edge, a welcome screen shows. Edge wants you to sign in. It still shows the email address that I want my PC to forget. The profile won't delete. I created a second profile and switched to it hoping to delete the old, suggested email profile but my old, suggested email keeps showing up. To proceed, you do need credentials, but I just assume the PC does not show anything at all and that it forgets my email address. I do not want someone that I may let someone use my computer to even know my outlook email address. Microsoft Edge offers other way to credential the machine (SMS, emails etc.) I do not want anyone who is lent the machine sees any of this either. Why is Microsoft being so "helpful" when I don't want them to be. This is all a terrible security breach. I can't safely let someone use nor sell my computer without stripping down to the bare bones. And who know, will Microsoft tell the PC the email address since it has the serial number from the motherboard. (For those of you old enough do you remember when Intel put serial numbers in 80386 CPU? Deja vu?) Simply, how do I completely expunge my email from the computer altogether and stop this email stickiness?
Kiosk Mode
Hi, We are running Edge in Kiosk mode and I am trying to find information how to configure it for our specific requirements in an Enterprise environment. Requirements: URLAllowlist: "domainA.com", "domainB.com" URLBlocklist: "*" User must be able to access downloads from Edge User must be able to right click to save an image for example from a website User must be able to print Edge configuration: msedge.exe --kiosk https://domainA.com --edge-kiosk-type=public-browsing Is this specific configuration even possible with the latest version? I am running: Version 148.0.3967.83 (Official build) (64-bit)
Edge Password Manager keeps passwords cleartext at runtime — misaligned with Chromium (CWE-316)
Microsoft Edge is a strong Chromium‑based browser, and its Password Manager is promoted as a secure, integrated solution. However, its current runtime behavior prevents adoption: saved passwords remain available in cleartext during the entire Edge session, even when they are not actively used. This differs from the Chromium / Chrome model, where credentials are decrypted only on demand and cleared afterward. Importantly, the device does not need to be “fully compromised”: a standard user‑mode process, using common Windows APIs and tooling that often bypass traditional antivirus detection, can extract all stored credentials from the running Edge process. Chromium / Chrome already addresses this by combining DPAPI (user scope), App‑Bound Encryption, and process‑to‑process protections, ensuring passwords are decrypted only on demand and not kept continuously available at runtime. Request: please align Edge Password Manager runtime behavior with the Chromium model: decrypt passwords only when needed avoid keeping unused credentials available in cleartext This would close a significant gap with Chromium and remove an important blocker to real‑world adoption, without impacting user experience.Picture-in-Picture seek controls bypass MediaSession ad restrictions on YouTube
In Microsoft Edge, the Picture-in-Picture overlay exposes functional +10s/-10s seek controls during YouTube ad playback. The seek action advances the ad playhead even when YouTube has declared the seekforward action as unavailable via the Media Session API. Repro: InPrivate window, logged out of YouTube Play any video on youtube.com When pre-roll ad starts, click the in-player PiP icon Press +10s seek-forward on the PiP overlay Observed: a non-skippable NPCI ad followed by a Maggi ad were both bypassed in ~10 seconds of wall-clock time. The main <video> element briefly buffers during seek, consistent with HTMLMediaElement.currentTime being mutated directly rather than dispatched through the page's registered MediaSession action handlers. Cross-browser: verified the same flow in Google Chrome on the same Windows install. Seek-forward during ad playback does NOT advance the playhead, confirming YouTube's MediaSession setup is correct and isolating the issue to Edge's PiP implementation. Impact: affects any site using the Media Session API to restrict seek — live streams, DRM-protected content, ad-bound playback. Not YouTube-specific. Environment: Edge version: latest stable channel OS: Windows 11 - Chrome compared: latest stable channel
