We have some blogs and a YouTube video since the last Dev Channel update post.

@Eric_E I appreciate the new round edges update that you have implemented in the latest version of the software. I also like that you have moved the profile button to the left top side, which makes it more accessible and convenient. However, I have some feedback regarding the round edges design. I think that it should be applied only to the toolbar and not to the entire window. The reason is that having round edges on all sides reduces the size of the screen and makes it look less appealing. I would prefer to have sharp edges on the sides and bottom of the window, so that I can make full use of the screen space and enjoy a cleaner look. Therefore, I kindly request you to keep the round edges only to the toolbar and remove them from the rest of the window. Thank you for your consideration.
Also I cannot find the split screen option in devs but its in beta, so are you guys removing it or something? its a really good feature, so I suggest to keep it.

Surely reporting bugs is kind of an integral part of providing feedback about a WIP product? If we didn't care, we wouldn't bother. @Captaindead159

@tndorg because i dont want adobe engine
Adobe is known for being greedy and charging high amount of money simply for their plans and dont even sell any product without a monthly or yearly subscription plans
By implementing adobe engine, Microsoft edge pdf will look like another adobe viewer instead of a proper browser
The current Microsoft edge pdf is far better and is free and cool
I dont see any reason to add pdf stuff in Microsoft edge at alll
Also i dont want to see that adobe trademark in Microsoft edge pdf
Does other browsers have another company trademark in them?
Of course no then why import adobe stuff in Microsoft edge when adobe is just trying to do business
Integrate the so called adobe engine with Microsoft edge business or something else
Dont ruin Microsoft edge for normal users
I am not going to pay anything to adobe to use pdf and i dont want the adobe or any trademark as well

I really hope that Microsoft intends for the new UI frame and round-corner stuff on everything to be completely optional. The "rounded tabs" feature is highly distracting, makes the active tab appear disconnected from the actual tab content, and just looks bad, while the frame around the page content takes away from valuable screen real estate while otherwise contributing nothing. We've gotten so used to the edge-to-edge (heh) windows in win10+, and now putting that gigantic border around the window feels like we've stepped back into the vista era, except even worse because of just how thick the border is. It invokes a sense of UI claustrophobia.
Is this at all related to the current build's feature set? Not really, outside of all the related flags being broken. But it's something that Microsoft need to keep hearing, otherwise they'll just continue on their current apparent trajectory and ignore the feedback as usual.

@Eric_E Unfortunately, it seems the Bing Discover button has been added to Stable without an option to disable it in Settings. While I personally appreciate and use this feature, many users have expressed their discontent with the inability to remove it, as they have no use for Bing Discover and find it annoying. To address the multitude of similar feedback, please develop a toggle in Settings that allows users to remove the button from the taskbar. This will honour the wishes of the numerous users who have shared the same sentiment, and prevent them from feeling ignored.

Hi,@Eric_E
" This feature will be rolled out to other Insider builds and Stable versions in the near future!"
Since this is an optional feature - it needs an explanation why it has already made it to the public version of Edge - as a direct software update?
Users shouldn't be surprised by the Edge team – because they work and have computers that aren't playable for!
When will there be an improvement in this regard?
