Hello there, Insiders! Welcome to this week’s summary of your top feedback. We have a couple of updates this week, including moving one item from Under Review. Let’s jump right in!
The item moving from Under Review to Planned this week is Allow users to turn off the “Disable developer mode extensions” notification. This is something we’ve seen requested across all the social platforms and feedback channels we keep an eye on and are excited to bring this option to users. Once we have more details around this, we will provide them here.
Additionally, we’re updating the expected month for Allow more top sites on the New Tab Page from December to Planned for February. This has been a frequent ask by users who enjoy the top sites feature on the new tab page, and we hope to have more details around it come next month.
That’s it for this week! We’ll chat at you all for next week’s update.
Here’s the updated list for this week:

Yes, my parents find it very hard to find the clear history button since it used to be in the menu and now it is not that visible. Please add a trash icon or some sort of easier way to find it. thank you

Please add a toggle button for enabling\disabling continuous scrolling. While using my laptop in tablet mode (vertically) as sheet music viewer, I used to scroll sideways while continuous scrolling is disabled, since that feature is no longer available in the new edge, I keep using the legacy Edge as my maing PDF\Sheet music viewer.
Please add that feature. Thank you.
P. S I'm adding a photo of the missing toggle button from the legacy Edge.
Me too, it dosent' work in Gmail either. I hope they fixed it, to make sure the team gets the info, please send some diagnostic data and send feedback thruogh the rbwoser.
