@HotCakeX If you think drawing arrows isn't necesssary then why do you think sites do it? I both write websites and support end users. Ask my how many times I have to tell people to click the link to their zoom meeting or ringcentral meeting so I can start a support session with them DESPITE THE ARROW POINTING TO THE DOWNLOAD ON THE SCREEN. You know what - I'm starting to see how the other users on this forum feel. You are writing a DEV version to get input, but you don't seem to WANT input, you just want to argue for your position. That's not the signs of a good dev. Trust me. I am one. Sometimes change for the sake of change is not a good idea.

@HotCakeX So let's see. To "improve" the product you're emulating the THIRD BEST PRODUCT ON THE MARKET. Right. That's a good plan.

@josh_bodner ok @HotCakeX here is an illustration of how "just sticking an arrow in the upper right" doesn't work. Also whenever you click on the any content in the content window unless you have the content pinned, it disappears and the download content is hidden, the same happens if you resize the window in any way. This does NOT happen with the download bar at the bottom. Even if it can only show ONE file it at least shows that one, always in the same place relative to content.

Why are you Spamming the thread? you can put all of them in one place.
many people are subscribed to this thread, it sends Emails and notifications to everyone.
Spamming won't prove anything and doesn't get you anywhere. it just annoys everyone and makes people reluctant to read the thread.
there is no need to make arrows to show user where to look for downloads, Edge makes it clear where when a download is offered and asks for user input.

@HotCakeX you're hilarious. As you literally reply to me with 2 replies about the same thing for replying to your 2 replies with 2 different replies. Wow. Troll much?

Trying once again - I still have the issue that a new browser windows always opens with an additional "default" tab, although it is set to open recently open tabs. Browser window shows as the following when opened:
<new tab page> | <previously opened tab 1 > | <previously opened tab X...>
Anyone else has this problem?
I'm trying right now, on a fresh Windows 10 installation that i did the other day (latest version) on Edge Version 88.0.705.74 (Official build) (64-bit) (which is also the latest)
in edge://settings/onStartup set it to "Continue where you left off"
and i can not reproduce this issue. I open 3 tabs, close Edge and reopen it, i still have 3 tabs, nothing extra.
I think there is something else causing that problem in your environment. maybe a user configuration somewhere else, maybe a group policy.
what I can say with 100% certainty is that this doesn't happen on a new installation on OS/browser.

I would like to thank you for articles, several people asked me why one specific anti-malware detects Cookie but Windows Defender won't and they complain like Microsoft Edge is NOT protecting their privacy and I need to share same story of cookies over and over. But the article is very helpful.
Good to see new features and bug fixes and hope known issue will be fixed soon.

Since last week's update on Microsoft Edge Dev my browser now states it is setting up sync and this continued in this week's update.
Looking at sync internals I see that the transport state is configuring data types.
@alexmakin this is an issue we're currently tracking but don't have a fix for yet. From logs that other people with this specific error have sent, the underlying error code is NETWORK_CONNECTION_UNAVAILABLE (ERR_TIMED_OUT), which doesn't make sense since they obviously have enough network to send us feedback! I'd be curious if removing and re-adding your profile helps like it has for others.

@MattBDev we've only partially rolled out the automatic deduplication to Stable, so most people don't have it yet. I'm watching the rollout carefully though and plan on removing the item once it's fully in Stable!
Feb 25 2021 02:19 PM
@cloud_entropy As I recall, nobody internally could reproduce the extra new tab on startup issue, so I'm curious if you can reproduce it in a different profile in the same Edge channel, and also in a new Edge channel like Canary (if you're currently using Dev). If you can, that would seem to point to something on your device that's causing this like @HotCakeX mentions. Is this device a personal one or one you use at work?

Hey, the cookies flyout text in Brazilian Portuguese was partially fixed. It only shows the right text when Edge blocks only one third-party cookie in the page. If it's more than one, the old text is shown.
@eduardobragaxz I think we'll need to count this as a separate bug, so if you wouldn't mind filing feedback for this, that'll create a new bug in our system.
Feb 25 2021 02:32 PM
When I try to "Send Feedback" (or press Alt-Shift-I) it hangs Edge. I tried it couple times with same result.
@mkoninin If you create a new profile, does the same thing happen there? If so, would it be possible to install a different Edge channel and send feedback from there that sending feedback froze in a different channel? It will at least get some machine-level logs that could be useful, and will more importantly create a bug in our system.

Edge is very unusual, in that on 64 bit OS's it's a 64 bit application yet is installed in \Program Files (x86).
@MikeDiack this was something we inherited from Chromium. They finally fixed it in Chrome last year (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=380177), but we're waiting to integrate that change since we're still actively working on how Edge is installed in other ways, for example how Edge gets onto brand new installs of Windows.

When starting the browser, the window stays empty for some seconds. I also get this error message:
"Profile error. Some features may not be available. An error has occurred."
@bigfraggle007 as others have seen, this is fixed in current Canary builds and so it should be fixed in next week's Dev.
Feb 25 2021 02:42 PM
@yoSachin I think I replied on one of the older release notes, but what's going on here is that a fix we made for some devices' scrolling behavior has unfortunately regressed the behavior on other devices. Because of the wide range of device types and drivers out there, there's not really anything we can do to fix everything with just one set of code, so we're instead going to work on a way to choose between the new version or the old version (that worked for you) via a flag, but that will take some time.

Still encountering the "White Screen" issue on Edge Dev startup in 90.0.803.0. Are you and the team still looking for GPU logs for this or any other logs? If so what's best way to share?
@SeannyFunco I'm glad you asked! Let me PM you and @Igi_PL and @Superenigmatix44 and @seasickcake7037 and @manania since you mentioned you still are seeing it (assuming that's what you all meant by liking that message), and anything more you can give us can't be uploaded here. And if anybody else is still seeing this, let me know and I'll get in touch with you too!
