Note: This is no longer the most recent top feedback summary. You can always find the latest at https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback.
Hey, Insiders, and welcome to February’s first feedback summary! We’re adding on a couple of new items this week, so let’s jump into it.
First up, one new item under Under Review, Users can find and manager their tabs more easily by organizing them into associated groups. Tab groups is something we’ve seen requested from users everywhere and we’re really excited to share its status on this list! The next item is related to customization, Users would like more theme and customization options. We are already planning this work so its status is currently Planned. Once we know more about what this will look like, we will share an update here.
As with all the items on this list, we provide updates on them and what to expect next as we get those details. If you are curious about what the discussion looks like, remember to check out the discussion threads that are available for selected items. If we have no discussion thread or any comments around particular items, we’re not quite ready to share our plans for those, but we do encourage you to keep checking back weekly for these updates!
That’s all for this week. We’ll chat at you all next week!
Make tabs more square and less rounded, like the current version of Microsoft Edge

And here’s the list of top “quality areas” that we’re actively working on in response to your feedback:
Bring more extensions to the extensions store
Edge should use less memory than it does
Edge should use less CPU than it does
Scrolling should feel smoother for web pages
Scrolling should feel smoother for PDF files
Opening a new tab is too slow
Update does not always work reliably

@MissyQ Wait- "Users can find and manager their tabs more easily by organizing them into associated groups" why do you use "manager" in the sentence? I think it is a typo.
@MissyQ I've added it at least a couple times via the feedback mechanism, but it never hurts to repeat it: give some attention to the picture-in-picture functionality. Add a pop-out button to the video player, add volume control (not just mute) and allow unlimited re-sizing of the pop-out window.
@MissyQ Why is 'Edge launches with previous session’s tabs when “On startup” setting is set to “Open a new tab”' under 'Not Planned' as the whole thing is defeating the use of the setting 'Open a new tab' and should be addressed and not left on the side?
Does edge have the control over the three buttons on the top right to close minimize maxamize because inwpuld like them to more consistant with the rounded fluent design. They look very out of place.
More costomization ti me means having the ability to swap the panels on left to the right or vise versa. Also, the ability to change the top menu/tab layout like you can on firefox and the ability to have tabs wothin the panel sidebars.
