I would like to speak Since the last two browser updates, I am unable to use read aloud, which has the built-in text-to-speech voice! I'm using Microsoft Edge dev on Linux Mint 20.0, which uses the Ubuntu system base, how do I open a problem to solve this? Note: the read out loud functionality was working since the beginning of my tests but after the two updates, I can no longer use it to be able to read articles
Edge on Linux has a feedback system and feedback button, if you don't see it on toolbar you might need to toggle its button here: edge://settings/appearance
use that to send a feedback about your problem, it's the recommended way for sending problems/bugs/suggestions to Edge developers. it will also send additional diagnostic data that will help solve the problem.

Hi Mr.Bodner,
I opened a topic about the new flyout buttons and more people are asking what I asked, for the Pinned state of Favorites/History/Collection/Downloads to be Remembered.
would you please consider this with higher priority?
I remember you said before that you're analyzing how often people use the Pin button so that you will decide whether to change it or not (since you're intentionally not remembering it), but the thing is, if the Pin is not remembered, then users are discouraged to repeat it again because there is no point in doing it every time.

@Ryan Buckwalter and anybody else experiencing Read Aloud issues, are any of you using Tracking Prevention in Strict mode? We've currently got a known issue where Online voices don't work when using Strict Tracking Prevention, but the 3 offline ones should. If that's not the issue you're experiencing, I'll let the Read Aloud team know.

Pinned tab used to show favicon only, and I have 18 pined tab which take only 3 rows, but now, they show as nomal tabs size, and only show 7 non-pin tabs, others will scoll to show.
@Jeffz9527 I believe this is an evolution of our design of the vertical tab pane to show different categories of tabs in the same way, with pinned tabs and regular tabs being the first two categories, since the whole point of the vertical tab pane is to be able to show more info about a tab instead of scrunching everything together like they are in horizontal mode, but I'll check with the team to see what their plans are for the old design.

@HotCakeX I mean, there'd be other telemetry patterns that could also tell us that pinning would be useful, like people opening the flyout multiple times in succession, although for certain flyouts like favorites, that could also signal that alternate methods of opening multiple items at a time need to be surfaced better. Regardless, I'll ask and see if we've got enough data yet to tell us anything useful, since we're still actively rolling our many of these new flyouts.

Unfortunately, I cannot help with this issue, But I can say I DON'T like it. Horribly inconvenient.
Thanks for point this out to the developers.

Not certain if you are aware, but there appears to be an issue with certain websites loading and displaying properly. ( See attached image). Just wanted to give you a heads up. @josh_bodner

@josh_bodner Please bring back the favicon-only layout for pinned tabs in vertical tab mode. All of a sudden my pinned tabs are taking up a row each and vertical tabs is a whole lot less useful with all that wasted real estate. Or, maybe even better, make it a configurable option whether to do favicon-only or whole rows for pinned tabs. Thanks!

@ethanmenzel The existence of a flag is actually kind of detached from the lifetime of the feature it controls. By default, all flags have an expiry date that's defined somewhat-arbitrarily but can be extended if need be. Once a flag expires it's no longer visible, but it could actually be removed at any time, or for that matter made invisible at any time.

Please bring back the favicon-only layout for pinned tabs in vertical tab mode.
@83steps and anybody else who wants this, please make sure you also file feedback so we can get an accurate count of everybody who liked the old design better!

Looks like a) I mis-remembered and it's actually people who have enabled the Autoplay Block setting who will run into the issue with Online voices, and b) we also were running an experiment that broke this for some people, but we're working on turning it off to get people un-broken.

@josh_bodner A bit of feedback on the tab groups experimental flag. The new changes are a little ugly. The coin shaped/ squared group labels are fine, it fits the aesthetic better than circles. The lines being on the top is bad though. Especially on the tab you have selected.

I 100% agree, it looks ugly and really looks like it's a bug.
the elements aren't even touching each other, there is gap there for no reason
I hope this is not intended because it's a regression compared to how it looked before

@josh_bodner I've never seen this "My Feed" window before. Is this new? When I choose the gear, it brings me to the "New Tab" settings page.
