@josh_bodner Front page teaser upon first opening this says something about "ability to move tabs between profiles". don't see anything about that here?

@josh_bodner Yes, I have been on Windows Insider Dev builds. This happens for any "installed" website - e.g. Discord, Hacker News, Youtube Music, etc. I uninstalled 726 yesterday shortly after you put up the post with news of the fix (since I wanted to start from a clean state), and installed it anew. I installed the previously mentioned websites as apps, and shortly thereafter the 727 update came, and the icons were lost again.

since we are both on Dev channel of Windows insider and are experiencing the same thing, maybe it's somehow related to these 2 issues regarding pinned sites to taskbar:

@aach1 it's still turned off by default and hidden behind a flag. I only mention features here once they're turned on by default for all users in Dev and Canary.

@josh_bodner Hi, it's been 2 updates since and still no fix on this: Losing ability to set permission for individual cookies - Microsoft Tech Community. It's not even acknowledged in "Known Issue" too for last 2 updates.
Is there really no one reporting this other than me and @HotCakeX ? Individual cookie permission capability is make or break for me, and with this breaking down for 4-5 updates since, I might have to return to Chrome
Thanks

Yup, I keep testing it after every version of canary that i install and so far nothing
Version 89.0.729.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
to show again how easy it is to reproduce this issue:
Step 1:
in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
Step 2:
do a search in Bing, Google, visit a page that has cookies etc.
Step 3:
Step 4:
when we press "Allow" or "Clear upon exit", none of those domains are added to the respective lists in here: edge://settings/content/cookies

@HotCakeX It looks like that Cookies In Use popup needs a lot of love in general. If you click on specific cookies instead of overall categories in the Block tab, it grays out the Allow and Clear Upon Exit buttons entirely, which suggests that they're completely not functional (as you've seen) but they forgot to gray them out when you click on the top-level category. That, along with the off-spec scrollbar and many dark theme glitches with dark text on dark background, makes me thing that this is either something we shouldn't be showing to begin with, or is in the process of being replaced, so let me ask the team about it.

Hi,
when I click on specific cookies instead of overall categories in the Block tab
I find it expected and normal for the "allow" and "clear upon exit" buttons to gray out, because at that point I'm selecting "cookies" folder, which is not anything specific and only shows me contents of that cookie.
but why should they be grayed out when I select "bing.com" ? what I expect (same as other user) is for those buttons to work and add the top level domain that we select to the respective lists in here
edge://settings/content/cookies

@josh_bodner I have two Windows 10 machines one on build 2004 it has Microsoft Edge is up to date.Version 89.0.723.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) installed on it. It has Sync options for Open Tabs and History enabled.
Another computer has 20H2 and the same build and the Open Tabs and History are greyed out. Why?

Thanks for the reply and the link. The syncing of Open Tabs and History is now available on both browsers today.
Dec 15 2020 06:39 AM
@josh_bodner -- Why is it that Sync constantly breaks with each release of Edge no matter what channel? I just formatted my laptop to fix a Windows Insider 10 update issue and Edge DEV is a new install and still will not sync. Sits at "Setting up Sync" and never gets anywhere. I am testing Beta/Canary now to see if they will work so I get at least one browser working. Please address this permanently.

Thanks!
In Default browser, in Settings, the "Make default" button shows as "Criar padrão" in Brazilian Portuguese, but it should be "Tornar padrão".
And clicking the cookies icon in the address bar shows "x de cookies de terceiros bloqueados" instead of "x cookies de terceiros bloqueados".

@josh_bodner I confirmed with the feature owner that we are indeed in the process of completely replacing the Cookies In Use dialog with our own implementation, which is why this one has fallen into a state of disrepair (some of our underlying changes must have unintentionally changed something this was relying on). We expect the new one to be ready by the time 89 goes to Beta (or sooner!), so they're still deciding on making fixes to this one in the meantime.

@Chris Childerhose If you want to try something we've been working on, you can enable the edge-reset-sync flag and then click the Reset button in Sync Settings. However, we usually only see this sort of thing with work/school profiles, so if you're not using one of those, could you send feedback from the affected machine? That will get us logs that will help us understand how to prevent this in the future.

@eduardobragaxz I see your feedback, as well as some other mentioning these issues. It looks like this is one area that our feedback categorization is a little weak in, since a lot of these things are automatically translated before they're looked at, so it's a lot harder to see what the issue is! I'll ask our feedback processing team what to do about issues like these in the future, especially if there's a better way for them to be notified of translation issues, and then I'll also look into getting these specific issues fixed too.

If that's the case then it's alright, knowing that something better is on the way is enough for me, can leave this one as it is.
