Hi Graham,
Sounds like the Scroll to Top button extension would be the cat's PJs. Go grab it from the Edge C Microsoft Store. Ideal/perfect solution for what you discuss here. Can do more than just go to top, btw.
Cheers,
Drew

On Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 LTSB (build 14393.3025) with August 2019 cumulative updates, EDGE DEV 79.0.308.1 doesn't open and crashes immidiately with no message or pop-up error window.
Previous version 79.0.301.2 opens up with no hassle.
Didn't saw any relation to that issue,
Will appreciate your response,

I liked the greeting in the new tab page. However it shows the weather forecast in F. Is there a way to change it to Celsius?

This version seems to have an issue with NTLM authentication used with a proxy.
Is support for NTLM being dropped?
It seems to be more the SSO to a proxy when using a FQDN for a pac file.

I'm not sure what symptoms you are seeing to determine that is what is happening, but you might might read @josh_bodner 's comment here:

I have the same bug, posted about it earlier in the thread. I just tried latest Canary build 79.0.313.0 and it appears that it's been fixed. No more 000000 or "Work" account name, it's back to Profile 1 and Sync button works properly. Fingers crossed it'll get merged for the next Dev build.
Unfortunately, InPrivate icon is still rounded and pinned icon right-click task menu remains broken (though this appears to be a Canary issue, nothing to do with current Dev).

This might be the case with a personal account. With a work account, the profile is added and no option to sign out or remove is available.

Same here. it's been like this for few weeks for me. only got fixed on one of the Canary updates and after a day or two went back to this mode again. I also don't have the gear icon.

The physical Home button on everyone's keyboard does the same, acts as a back to top button

Tracking prevention feature is pretty good but more granular control for Tracking prevention feature, e.g. like Brave browser, would make it great. I've asked about this before with no reply. Any chance this will ever happen?
What "granular" controls does the brave browser provide? IMO Edge insider keeps it simple and effective, to be easily used by everyone since this is going to be the default built in browser.
Brave however is only used by a portion of people with very specific needs, otherwise we would see Brave, instead of Chrome, at the top of market share chart :)

OP should have read: "... more granular control for Javascript ..."
Brave's market share isn't important here, but its javascript control is. Generally, adding more control of features as an option for users who prefer it just makes sense.

1. Extension updating feature always returns an "extensions updated" message but extensions are never updated.
2. Please add more granular control for Javascript, like Brave browser.
3. Still no response to my questions re: Edge AppContainer. Same as old Edge? improved? etc. ...

Hello,
I have the same issue with extensions not updating, either automatically or manually. The only way I can update my extensions is by removing them and then reinstalling (losing all settings and/or data for that extension in the process). I have reported this previously both here on the forum and via the "smiley" button in the browser. At one point this did work but it has been broken for several dev versions/builds now.
