Uhm... Who told you that? In IE11 they were since Windows 7 and they are still works in Windows 8.1. So there are no technical difficulties to make them work again.

@That_s_Me They work a little differently in 10 and there's no real reason to target them for 8.1 / 7 as 7 is now unsupported and I'm not sure how many people use 8.1 or why they'd want to, but it's a very very small number.

So, that's just your opinion, which you forgot to mention early? And it not related in any way to developers intentions? New browser is targeted to 3 versions of Windows, so it's fair to have feedback from them.

No, it's not yet.

And then again - why you telling me your own opinion, while I was writing feedback to developers?

@That_s_Me Support ends in January 2020 but the purposes of this project it's effectively unsupported as the final version of this product will be released after end of support.
I'm just letting you know why it won't work and probably never will.

Nope, you're just telling me your opinion on reasons for that. At least you're finally added "probably", that's fair.
Oct 16 2019 05:56 AM
@That_s_Me Well, it's factual that it won't work in the current build due to API differences and probably never work as for the reasons I mentioned (Windows 8.1 has 0.2% market share) - sorry you're not happy about these facts. if you are happy with Windows 8.1 that's great but you'll run into more and more niggles with it as it's effectively abandoned by developers.

@filetrekker1360 Oh, god Why you're keep telling me things which I'm not even arguing to?

@josh_bodner - is there going to be an option to sync Collections at some point or even export/import them? I use them all the time on one laptop, but my other laptop, I have to rebuild the Collections.

Please figure out a way to allow sync for Businesses with AD Connect to Azure for Teams Free allowing company login as MS Work account (without O365, my current employer is Software Assurance everything on Prem).
We can get other services syncing Like OneNote to their Work AD accounts via Azure login with this setup, why not allow sign into browser this way for Sync, currently I can sign in but it says sync disabled by Admin (I am the admin, please allow me to enable this) people want to sync these items across their work devices (Office PC, Surface, iOS devices), and I would love to make this the default browser and steer them in this direction over using personal accounts or worse Chrome + Personal...
Speaking of iOS that app let me sign in to my work MS account and enable sync for everything, but desktop app says disabled.

@josh_bodner did the newest update break something on twitch or is my graphic card dying? If im watching www.twitch.tv streams im getting weird artifacts. Doesnt happen in other Browsers so far. See pics below.

Hi,
Word and Excel online are currently possible but I agree there needs to be more and preferably use the installed versions of them when available instead of Online.

Hi,
you're hitting a known bug that was available previously on Canary and is now shipped to the Dev, But it is fixed in Canary so Dev needs to wait for the next update (every week) to get the patch

Hi,
it's happening because the fonts are set "Too Big" in the settings, all you have to do is to go to the settings / Appearance / Customize fonts and change them back to normal
the normal values are this:
You can also try resetting all browser settings back to their default values
