@josh_bodner Regarding "Added a policy to enable deleting browsing data upon exit.": The latest policy file (from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/enterprise?form=MB1101&OCID=MB1101) is from 08/09/2019. Will there be an update of the policy file as well soon?

I keep seeing that request in these release notes and it's been my default browser for a while now. If this is about an OS that isn't Windows 10 maybe you should be more specific in your request. In Windows 10 you can easily do that as @DavidGB wrote

Still missing the IE Mode for non Enterprise users.
Would like to see the option "Open in Internet Explorer Mode" for ALL websites, NOT only for a listed internal Website.
Reason is, many IoT Devices like Digital Video recorders, Webcam, Switches, Telecommunication systems, IP telephones and other browser enabled gadgets need ActiveX/Flash/Internet Explorer specific functions.
I was informed, that later after Edge Chromium installation Edge and IE will removed from User access, so their is definitely a NEED for non Enterprise customer to have the IE Mode. This would be then the only way to open that IE specific webpages!!

@Drew1903 we are an enterprise customer and already have an enterprise site list in our environment, which is most likely why it's already working. I also did enable the flags to force it enabled.

@josh_bodner Please fix the inability to stream xfinity.com/stream on a Mac
And every time I update Dev Edge, it deletes my allowed flash sites.

OK, I'm now curious. In Edge Dev I have a space between the R and the e in Reopen closed tab (so 'R eopen closed tab') in the right-click menu of tabs and the tab bar, but @Drew1903 doesn't. Does anyone else see the erroneous space in that menu item, or is it just me?
My right-click tab menu again:

@Deleted Certainly a better alternative to what is currently implemented :D

@josh_bodner I'm seeing my pinned Edge dev live tile on Start (full screen mode) as just a blank, black tile on more than one PC. Issue started with new update to Edge dev. I already reported this, but thought I would mention it here as it also happened on a PC with different hardware but same Start setup and Edge Dev build.

Have you restarted the computers since the Edge Dev update? I find that the Start live tiles for all 'Store' apps go black after an update until I do a computer re-start (which I find very annoying, but on the other hand is often the first time I notice they ave updated).

@DavidGB I have now :grinning_face_with_sweat:
Thanks for mentioning the thing about restarting :)
It's still blank black though.
On a side note about the app store update live tile bug: For me, they don't turn completely black when updated, just transparent with a stuck update progress bar at the bottom of the tile - So maybe it's a variation of the app update live tile issue? Microsoft Edge Dev is not an app from the Store so I am guessing that this is a separate bug.

@josh_bodner I'm seeing a lot of instances of sites "randomly" throwing the "Too many redirects" error page. (This has been happening for several versions of Edge Chromium now.) It's clearly a cookie issue because clearing my cookies fixes it. (And I can confirm the site isn't having any issues by switching to a different browser.)
Chrome has the ability to clear cookies for specific sites which is most useful for situations like this instead of the nuclear option of deleting all my cookies and forcing me to log into every site I visit again. Would love to see this in Edge Chromium!
