Please bring back the Split Window feature. Such a useful and helpful feature. (I've enabled it via flags, but for feedback).

[#3]

Thank you for the update.

microsoft edge is becoming adobe edge lol with their "new pdf engine" lol

[#5]

remove the adobe edge pdf reader
it is making pdf reading ugly with that adobe trademark
in google chrome and mozila firefox, there is no adobe trademark when using in browser pdf reader so why is microsoft even bring this useless feature to microsoft edge when lots of microsoft users already oppose this self proclaimed feature anyway

After updating to version 112.0.1722.7, I noticed that the Discover bar that contains the chat, compose and Insights buttons stopped working and disappeared. (MacOS 10.13.6).

[#7]

@Dandist Hm, strange; I'm on MacOS as well (Ventura 13.2.1) and the Discover button is working absolutely fine for me. Looking at your MacOS version, it seems like you're running a quite old version - I'd suggest updating if possible and seeing if that solves your problem?

[#8]

@Eric_E It's been a while since I had opened collections tab and much to my dismay I found there was a recommended content feed at the bottom! There's currently no way to disable it. Please provide a way to disable recommended content in collections. I'd rather not use collections than use it with ads around.

[#9]

When can I delete the Bing button? For a Chinese, it is really useless... discover_ chat has no response at all (for some well-known reasons). It really only makes me feel uncomfortable. Your browser is becoming more and more bloated. Before the Bing button can be removed, I will turn to Chrome and Firefox

[#10]

@familieslife1 Yes, I am currently using an old Macbook that was provided by my organization. This model can only run up to MacOS 10.13.6. 

Everything works perfectly on edge-dev-111-0-1660-14, so I've rolled back to it. I really wish 112.0.1722.7  can fix this problem, since Bing Discover is the most important features for edge. 

[#11]

Please LET US DISABLE ROUNDED CORNERS.

Thanks.

There is no browser implementation of a PDF reader that isn't crippled in some important way, making viewing anything other than a very simple PDF problematic. This extends to non-Adobe PDF readers/editors, none of which support the full ISO PDF specifications. The Edge team's effort to incorporate Adobe PDF code into Edge is definitely a step in the right direction, but it's hard to find a professional use case where a browser substitutes for Adobe Reader or (obviously) Acrobat Pro. Professional users open PDFs in Acrobat, and we get annoyed if Edge pre-emptively opens PDFs.

The presence or absence of the Adobe logo is such a minor point that it's not worth mentioning, but I'll take Adobe PDF code with an Adobe logo over non-Adobe PDF code anytime.

Hi Eric, thank you for the update and for letting us know that your engineering team is resolving the issue with the flags. It is great to see that you are taking action to address the problem and I appreciate the transparency and communication regarding the situation.

Appreciate your response and understand that resolving issues can be time-consuming, particularly with the Edge Dev version. It is not uncommon for bugs to arise in developmental software, and I appreciate the efforts of your engineering team to address these issues. Thank you for keeping us informed and for your dedication to providing a high-quality user experience.

[#14]

After updating to the latest version, I noticed a bug in Edge Dev where all favorites on the Favorites-toolbar, set to "Show icon only," switch back to displaying both the icon and text label. I then must go through each individual favorite and reset the preference to "Show icon only". Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(This has happened on previous updates as well).

[#15]

@Eric_E 

After update to version, I'm no longer able to surf on Internet. it's like no Internet connection, but I'm able to surf on internet with Edge official and Chrome.

[#16]

I have the same experience on macOS 13.2.1. I have set my favourites in my bookmark bar to display as icon, and this option resets each time I re-open the browser.

[#17]

@Eric_E Thanks for the update. I noticed that the device emulation toggle doesn't work on this release. I am on macOS 13.2.1. I shared a video demonstrating this issue on reddit. This is particularly problematic because I often use this feature to troubleshoot mobile issues.

Neither the button or the keyboard shortcuts work. It also seems that I am prompted to reload DevTools the first time I try toggle the option for a given page. The DevTools reload, but the button still doesn't actually toggle the device emulation mode.

[#18]

The issue has already been resolved in the latest Canary build, and it will be included in the Dev build soon.

[#19]

I want to let you know that we resolved the device emulation issue in the latest Canary build, and it will be in the Dev build soon.

The bing button at the sidebar is not functional. Clicking on the bing icon opens up the sidebar but it's blank.

[#21]

@Deleted Yep, I am seeing the same.
