UI overflow in extension permission dialog on Linux (Gnome)

wathika-eng — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 12:07:14 GMT

When installing an extension, the permission dialog renders incorrectly and overflows its container. The dialog content appears clipped and does not scale properly within the window.

This affects usability because parts of the UI (text/buttons) may be partially hidden depending on window size and display scaling.

MS Edge version: Version 149.0.3993.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

To reproduce:

Open Microsoft Edge on any Linux distro using Gnome

Navigate to the extension store

Attempt to install an extension (e.g. AdGuard AdBlocker)

Observe the permission popup dialog

Why new design of MS Edge shows less items on the Workspaces selection list?

AdamZachDHL — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:15:06 GMT

I have some 9 frequently used workspaces. When I want to open one of them only 6 are listed so I often must catch the narrow scrollbar to spot and select the right one. When trying to point to the scrollbar I often miss-click one of them.

I'd prefer the list to be longer and the blank space between items smaller.
Also it is very handy that icons there are respectively colored but it is just narrow lines. If the color appeared at a bigger surface it would be easier to spot the right one (like e.g. if one of the 3 sheets of the icon was filled).
Mabye, making the list size parametrizable (6/12/24) or making the second line with tab count just optional (detailed/compact list layout) would solve this inconvenience.
Thanks.

(Sorry, my company blocked posting feedback from MS Edge directly. That's why I am asking here.)

Edge update is hung

cjahn50 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:02:27 GMT

I tried to update Canary and the update hung. So, I deleted Canary and tried to re-install it, but the install appears to be hung. Can I assume the Canary channel is having issues?

Edge Sync Persistent Failure

letmecc — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:30:06 GMT

Subject: Edge Sync Persistent Failure: "Our services aren't available" on syncreset page and Sync Engine stuck on "Initializing"

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking urgent help regarding a persistent Microsoft Edge sync issue that has lasted for several days across 5 different devices (4 Windows PCs and 1 iOS device).

The Symptoms:

Sync Engine Deadlock: On all my Windows devices, the edge://sync-internals page shows the Transport State as "Initializing" or "Backed off". The Total Entries often drop to 0, or it shows Network error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED).

Server-Side Lockdown: I am unable to access the Edge sync reset page (https://edge.microsoft.com/syncreset) from ANY browser or ANY network environment (including mobile data and different VPN nodes). It consistently returns: "Our services aren't available. We're working to restore all services as soon as possible. Please check back soon."

Question:

Since the syncreset page is unavailable globally for my account, it seems to be a back-end identity/gateway issue rather than a local client error. Has anyone else encountered this "Services aren't available" error on the reset page recently? Is there a way to force a server-side sync container refresh when the official reset tool is down?

Bookmarks are being forced into the active Tab Group (New behavior)

lt2323 — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:15:58 GMT

Hi there,

I’ve noticed a very frustrating change in the latest Edge update. When I open a bookmark from the Favorites bar, it is now automatically forced into the currently active Tab Group.

This behavior is counter-intuitive. For example, if I am browsing in a "Social" group and click a bookmark for "Gmail," I want it to open as a standalone tab, not as a part of the "Social" group. Currently, I have to manually drag every new tab out of the group, which is a major workflow killer.

Disabling experimental flags doesn't fix this anymore. Please provide a toggle in the Settings menu to disable "Tab Group Inheritance" for bookmarks or revert this change. It should be the user's choice whether to add a new tab to a group or not.

CPU usages on Start Up - Same in Chrome

heimlich1 — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:56:10 GMT

I'm having the same issue both in Edge and now Chrome. I'm trying to figure out how to solve it so I can switch back to Edge. When I startup the browser it uses a lot of CPU to load 10 to 15%. It stays like that for a couple minutes at least. I couldn't figure out what it was in Edge and now Chome is starting to do the same thing. The longer I use it the longer it uses high CPU. So I figure both of them are doing something similarly. Anyone have any idea what it is and how to fix it?

Incident critique : Edge Sync “Uninitialized”, appareils disparus, identité WAM/MSAL corrompue

KingSlouma — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:25:14 GMT

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un incident critique affectant directement mon identité Microsoft (MSA).

Il ne s’agit pas d’un problème local mais d’un dysfonctionnement côté serveur.

Voici les éléments techniques constatés :

- Le conteneur Edge Sync de mon compte est en état “Uninitialized”.

- Tous mes appareils ont disparu de mon compte Microsoft (Device Registration cassé).

- Les services d’identité WAM / MSAL / OneAuth ne se réinitialisent plus correctement.

- Impossible de créer de nouveaux passkeys ou d’utiliser les services dépendants de l’identité cloud.

On dirait que ça nécéssite une intervention côté serveur : réinitialisation des identités WAM/MSAL, du conteneur Edge Sync,

et du Device Registration.

Je reste à l'écoute de toute aide en vous remerciant par avance.

Edge Synchronisierung

Samsung S20 FE suddenly stops connecting to Windows PC via bluetooth

markwagswagner10s — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:52:01 GMT

I have seen posts about this issue and it has just happened to me. My Samsung S20 FE was connecting to my Windows PC Bluetooth fine. All of sudden my phone will not connect. I have tried to delete, restart on both pc and phone and then pair then connect and it fails. As a result I can no longer use Windows/Phone Link which stinks. Other posts have discussed this issue and they also claim that it just happens and there is no current fix which is absurd since it was working and now it does not??????

Please get fixed.....sounds like this is happening to a lot of users!

Android MS Edge Autofill verification and android/PWA apps.

Hypersomniac — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 14:02:24 GMT

Hi guys,

An issue I have with edge on android autofill is that when biometric checks are enabled for autofill and using non-edge or an installed PWA app, you are teleported from the PWA/android app to Microsoft edge and are not teleported back to the app being autofilled. This means that having biometric autofill checks and edge password manager as the primary autofill for android means that on some apps it is unfeasible to autofill as the log in request times out or resets after the app is no longer in view. This and the inability to save passkeys natively in the edge android browser is a big for drawback for me using edge password management over googles in built system.

Happy Easter!

There is a dashed/black line over the search box when vertical tabs are in use.

Robert24 — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 20:36:36 GMT

I found in the latest update versions that there is a black/white line when I use vertical tabs.

Sometimes it is dashed or blinking.

The current version is 146.0.3856.97 (Official build) (64-bit)

Zoom with Scroll + Modifier Key Not Working in Edge on macOS

DanceLens — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:28:10 GMT

Hello,

I am using Microsoft Edge on macOS and I would like to zoom in and out of web pages using a modifier key (Command, Option, or Control) together with scroll

Currently, Command + Scroll does not zoom the page.

I understand that macOS may override this behavior through accessibility settings, but I would like to enable this functionality specifically in Edge without affecting system-wide behavior.

Could you please advise:

Is it possible to enable zoom using Scroll + Modifier Key in Edge on macOS?

If not, are there any recommended workarounds or planned features for this?

Thank you for your help
DanceLens!

Unable to open any websites

Haven't been able to use Edge Canary for the past couple of days. Just get the message: This page is having a problem.

Have tried repair, uninstall and reinstall, all to no avail. Works ok on my other PC.

We no longer have control

Dennis5mile — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:55:40 GMT

So, now with the latest updates for Canary Version 148.0.3940.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) we no longer have site permission control as to what any particular website has permission to do/use. Our choices are greyed out and unselectable.... See in these 2 screen shots, this is for LastPass, but it is the same for Norton Safe Web.

Notice; greyed out and unselectable/unchangeable. The only option is to turn the extension "OFF" as I did with Norton Safe Web extension. With all the hacking and websites being hacked into, why would I allow "Automatic Downloads"?

Favorites keep imported folders indefinitely.

pjmanroe99 — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:16:12 GMT

I've gone through and removed imported folder and reorganized my various folders. But when I close out Edge and reboot all the imported folders reappear. So I am unable to organize my Favorites like I should be able too. So I"ve been forces to use Google Chrome.

Export tool for Edge Collections before deprecation

pieterjbogaersgmailcom — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 02:02:15 GMT

Microsoft is deprecating the 'Collections' feature in Edge, but there is currently no export option available for personal Microsoft accounts. This creates a serious problem for users who rely heavily on Collections for research, organization, and long‑term workflows.

In my case, I have 166 main Collections, each containing dozens of items. Migrating this manually is simply impossible/undoable. ‼️

Please Microsoft: provide an official export tool (HTML, JSON, or migration to Favorites/Bing Saves) before removing the feature. Without this, users risk losing years of structured work and saved content.

This is essential for anyone who has used Collections as a core part of their workflow.

Why is my sync account being logged out automatically every day?

p.schaefer — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:28:32 GMT

Being automatically logged out in Edge with my private sync / Microsoft account happens on the up-to-date version of Windows 11 Pro with the normal current version of Edge. I have only a single Edge profile which is private and neither Windows nor Edge is managed by a corporation. However, I edited some policies. So, it may appear to Windows or Edge that there is corporate management. "Passwordless account" and "Two-step verification" are both switched off.
I do have another corporate account to access M365 which is MFA protected (Microsoft authenticator). Also there I am automatically been logged out on a daily basis.
Can I change the behaviour?

Azure Tiles Not loading with MS Edge Beta v147.0.3912.16

amaraschiello — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:10:32 GMT

In the latest version of MS Edge, we cannot view or access the SAML Certificate data for Enterprise Applications hosted in Entra ID.
Before: (v146.0.3856.62)

After updating to v147.0.3912.16:

As can be seen, the certificates cannot be displayed or accessed from this tile. This is affecting our test users who cannot rotate their SAML certificates but may have other impact for other Azure resources being accessed with MS Edge Beta.

New workspace UI

chrisTheEdge — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 03:27:23 GMT

Whoever came up with this new UI, where the workspaces are now in a tiny window and you have to scroll up and down a phone style list, should be immediately fired.

The old UI was perfect.
