Hello insiders, I’m back again with another update to our summary of the top feedback we’re hearing from you. This week there are only two changes to the list:

 

  • We are tracking and working on a bug where some website elements flip upside down when you switch tabs
  • We are working on building search functionality into the extensions store, but we now believe it will be delivered in November instead of October.

 

Here is the updated list of top feedback:

Thanks! Looking forward to resolution to "Website elements are being flipped upside down when switching between tabs".

@David Rubino 

I want to know something. Is it possible for the team to work on webRTC for chromium dealing with audio for application windows? I'm trying to figure out why that specifically doesn't have audio. Is there some documentation stating the reason or can I get a reason?

@David Rubino 

Is the bug making text and tabell upside-down fixed. What can I do?

 

@ASG_Dahlbergdea111 That bug has been fixed

Another useful feature would be to allow us to target browser profile in which links open. For example - I have Personal and Work profiles. Personal has extensions and stuff like music playlists , while work is purely for work systems. When clicking on a link from an email for example I'd like to target my work profile. Ideally this should be done via a selector (similar to the default app selector in Win10), or have the ability to set a profile as the ultimate 'default' browser (eg on my work machine I'd set my work profile as that).
