Is it possiable to separate PDF/EPUB parts of older versions Edge as separate application?
The PDF/EPUB viewer in old version Edge is much better than Chromium Edge.
Could you please separate the PDF/EPUB viewer as a separate application, If it is hard to add the old PDF/EPUB viewer in the Chromium Edge?

- Barry_WongCopper ContributorBrilliant idea,
or maybe port to the new edge. - Hi,
Which one of the features in the old Edge do you want to see in the new Edge?
Almost 80% of those features have been ported to the new Chromium based Edge. the latest version of Edge canary has them but they take time until they are ready to be released to the stable version.
the developers promised to bring all of the features to the new Edge.
I've seen it on Twitter and on this forum 🙂- OhYeeCopper ContributorOld edge can view PDF and EPUB files smoothly, both in trackpad and touch screen.
But in New Edge (also in canary version), the PDF viewer is not smoothly like before, and can not view EPUB files.
Old edge is the best PDF/EPUB files viewer, no other application can replace it.- Yes I've seen others reporting the same problem on touch screens, it obviously needs so much improvements to be as good as the legacy Edge 🙂
