Surface book pro concept
This is just an idea I've been chewing on: Imagine a Surface Pro that you can use with an ordinary type cover or with a keyboard dock similar to the Surface Book. The keyboard dock could include extra I/O, GPU, battery (essential), and speakers maybe, just to be impressive. It could run a little ribbon cable to a flat connector under the kickstand, since it will need PCI lanes. You could even choose between keyboard docks: One of them could include space for a 2.5 inch storage drive, but that's just me. Some could include extra RAM for running VMs. Essentially, it should be able to be a completely portable tablet and also an ultrabook replacement.Address bar blues and why the old edge was better at it
May I just say: This is ridiculous and the old edge handled it perfectly! Why is the address bar so narrow (vertically narrow)? That is the widest it can go when I'm tiling two windows next to each other on a 13 inch screen, and it's impossible to see what is being suggested. The old edge handled this perfectly, no matter how narrow the window was. The only reason I didn't include a screenshot is because I'm on my mac at work.Re: Option for a slimmer tab and address bar
I think a big reason for Edge not changing the UI too much from chrome (even where improvement is sorely needed) is that people are used to chrome. Many people, if not most, want to feel like they're still in chrome. It was certainly welcoming for me when I changed to Edge and found everything where I thought it would be. I would still like to see UI improvements though. The old edge was beautiful in many ways, though often at the expense of feeling basic in my opinion. Still, it was more beautiful than Chrome.Re: Option for a slimmer tab and address bar
I would love a feature that allows autohide of the top bar, perhaps more like Apple does with its mobile Safari. Another nice feature of mobile chrome is the ability to pull down on the top bar to see all tabs and I can easily see this being useful on a full desktop browser: Imagine going to your tabs and scrolling down to see the entire tab previews (kind of like legacy edge had a way of doing) and then scrolling down again to see all your tab previews, kind of like on Mac Safari.Surface buds
I hope others are as excited about this as I am! I don't know to what degree this is the general market's desire, but what I want to see is top call quality and the ability to wear them (or just one) all day without having to take them out for fresh air in my ears or just to talk to people. It might even be a good idea to allow the option of buying just one (business customers might appreciate this). As far as I can tell, these aren't made for music -- If I wanted earbuds for music, I would get ones with a proper rubber seal. For that reason alone, I think it should be marketed for business and all-day use. Mad excited!Re: Dev channel update to 80.0.361.5 is live
josh_bodner Suggestion/idea: Have options to set colours or even icons (e.g. briefcase, book, lightbulb) for individual folders, with an additional default option (somewhere in the bookmarks manager). Individualised icons might help for people like me who have about 10 folders in their bookmarks bar (relating to work, studies, interests, hobbies, side projects, reading). That is all I use my favourites bar for, and I'm sure there are others that do the same. Conceptual ideal case: The browser could change icons automatically -- say, if I have a folder called "work" on the favourites bar, it could change the icon to a briefcase. The next time I open my updated browser it would say "Look, we changed the icons on your favourite folders. Would you like to keep them this way?"
