Could someone look into why the Last Pass extension doesn't work in the Dev channel browser? It is really frustrating since that is my password manager. It may be a LastPass thing and so its on them to fix it but if it is an Edge thing perhaps someone could take a look?
Sep 20 2019 10:07 AM
I haven't installed LastPass extension but the credential manager that comes with Edge Dev browser is not working properly as well. I can type in the correct password but be informed not correct until I continue to retype, retype and then it is finally accepted.
So, what is the problem, the browser or website???

Hi, I am using the LastPass extension with the dev channel and have no problems so it may not be a wide spread problem. -Giles

I noticed scrolling has changed recently on the Dev and Canary builds but not the Beta. It is smoother, but I honestly liked the previous scrolling better, especially when using the page up and down keys. It now takes longer for the page to jump when using those keys. It would be nice to revert the scrolling behavior or to have a slider to reduce the smoothness by a bit.
Edit: I do like the scrolling on classic Edge though, it's similar but slightly "faster". An exact replication of that would also be great

I really hope for "Bring the Ask Cortana feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge" It's much better than Chromiums way of opening a new tab.
"Bring the tab set aside feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge" That would be nice. Collections kind of work like this feature but I still think there are some different use cases. Collections is an organized launch of websites and organize favourites in some way and better than using Favourites to save things. Set Aside is content from your last session is saved. I use that currently in the way of opening Task Manager and force closing Edge so the crash feature built into Chromium will ask me if I reopen my last sessions.
"Bring the tab preview feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge" This is just nice and convenient. Will this include the option to always show the webpages of tabs open like in EDGEHTML?

"Bring the reading list feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge" Yes. This was nice for articles and things. Maybe even allow reading pages to be added to collections too.
"The address bar and its text are too big, and should be smaller like Chrome" No! That would make it worse for touch users and may make it harder to read text on larger or smaller screens. I don't know how much smaller you would have to make it anways to gain a significant amount of content on the Webpage. A few 2-40 pixels won't change much.

Please! That's one if the biggest things that I hate about Chrome. Some of us like to organize our downloads when we download them as opposed to a separate step afterward.

Oh of course!
I have a similar laptop with the same hardware specs from Sony. It initially had Windows 7 home on it and the company didn't even bother to give us support or drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1. (not surprised though, that's typical sony..)
anyway, that didn't stop me of course. I installed 8, 8.1, 10 on my laptop as those OSes came out. the drivers weren't a problem, Windows update automatically took care of everything. now the same laptop (with i5 CPU, 4GB RAM DDR3, 320GB HDD and Radeon GPU), is running latest Windows 10 version 1903 flawlessly. all of the components are working fine, the bluetooth, WIFI, card reader etc.
but remember if you decide to upgrade, do a clean install. so download or create an ISO file and put it into a USB disk, boot from it and install your OS. doing this will require you to format your C:/ drive in order to install a fresh Windows 10, so make sure you backup all your important files in that drive before start.

Can't agree anymore
Maybe here also add a "download with ..." option to use third-party software downloads
