Edge v80 file uploader looks terrible compared to v79 (if your laptop is at scalings like 175%)
is it necessary though?
- HotCakeXJan 05, 2020MVPBut it's a bad requirement to be honest.
I strongly think this should change. I for one switched to Firefox Dev from Google chrome and I'm preparing myself to ditch Google and use Edge stable and Firefox.
I have peace of mind using Firefox for my privacy, using Bing engine, and have access to more useful extensions and themes.
moving forward, I hope this won't be the case and users won't be asked by developers or others to install Google chrome for testing something.
each install of Google chrome increases their market share, send lots of private/public information to the Google servers and the uninstall process leaves leftovers and traces on the user's system.
IMO, a problem is a problem, a bug is a bug. if it's in Edge then it's related to Edge. it's up to Edge developers to figure out where it originates from.
the data collection and telemetry system in Edge should be good enough to provide developers with the right info.- euhn_outerJan 06, 2020Copper Contributor
HotCakeX Then don't do it. No body force you to.
Yes of course the dev can find the problem themselves, hell they don't even need this insider program to do it, but it will take more time, prob a lot more time.
Help to whatever capacity you comfortable with, no more. But don't actively discourage them to stop asking for extra info (even though they can find it themselves), it doesn't help anyone.

First of all I know I'm not forced, also I'm not discouraging anyone, you got that all wrong there.
In order for them to spend less time, i suggested to improve the built in telemetry of Edge insider so it won't take so long to find out where the bug originates from.
also this part is very important, specially for people who might not know the true nature of Google:
"each install of Google chrome increases their market share, send lots of private/public information to the Google servers and the uninstall process leaves leftovers and traces on the user's system."
on side note, I wasn't expecting this much reliance on Google chrome when Microsoft announced they are going to switch from EdgeHTML to Chromium.
