Where is Internet Explorer mode? I have it enabled in flags, but can't find where to open an IE Mode tab (e.g. in More Tools menu)

@josh_bodner Hey i just got the update and I"m testing by playing videos. Right now the video from Amzon will not play unless I have to move the mouse on the screen. If i stop moving it, the picture goes away but the video still plays and i can hear it. Other than that, so far so good!!

These two changes suck :( By the way, it's much better if the InPrivate icon were on the left, beside the omnibox as incognito/InPrivate windows are per user and do not act as another user. I submitted this as feedback to Google but they obviously don't listen to anything except the press lol

@ikjadoon Uhhhh... you know that your taskbar is slightly taller than usual? You have a thick line of wasted space at the bottom of your monitor.

@egrm93 It's unfortunately developed a growth. :( We tried everything. Your sympathies, please.

Kidding. If you didn't notice...the screenshot is cropped so you can compare the icons quickly. The Chromium Edge window is, obviously, not maximized....

@josh_bodner I can't use the extension to know what music is playing in YouTube (AHA Music - Music Identifier) it says that this browser cannot record audio.
Also, can you add an option to make this as our default browser? So I can finally uninstall Google Chrome and expect to links can be opened in this browser instead of Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.

I think there should be a flag for administrators to disable this behavior. I mean, if I'm not using Chrome, I don't want Google to have unilateral say over what extensions I can or cannot use. Edge simply enforcing any extension ban Google comes up with defeats part of the point of using an alternative browser in the first place.
I can see the value of having this enabled by default since a lot of people insist on installing extensions that originally came from their store, but a lot of us who don't use Google's store in the first place may disagree with some of their decisions as to what extensions should or shouldn't be allowed in the browser.

@jeffbrown66 for me, as of this build, Lastpass now is 'borked' in that when I click on the browser button for it and try to fill, copy, or edit, the buttons on the pulldown 'move' up and become largely unclickable. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, but no difference in action. Don't know if that's why you guys have been seeing? But this is the first time for me seeing it.
No issues in Classic Edge with the plugin. I'm using the Chrome plugin in Dev Edge.
