Top Feedback Summary for November 2022
Hello, Insiders! We appreciate your patience between updates for this summary. To break out of the usual royal tense a little, I suffered a back injury shortly after the last update to this list, which caused severe delays to it being updated. As you can see, we’re here to give you one final update to this list for 2022! We’re excited to share that Add option to always open favorites in new tab is Addressed as of today in both our Canary and Dev channels! We’re still rolling this out, so if you don’t see it keep an eye out for it. The team is still working on finalizing search in Collections and double-clicking to close tabs. Some of you may already see these features, however we’re not quite ready to close these out on this list. We hope to have more updates on these two soon! That’s it for this update! We’re taking a short release break for the holidays here in the United States. Major updates to Stable and Beta channels will resume in early January. Do you have a suggestion that you think the team should consider? Head over to the Edge Feedback portal to leave your suggestion and have likeminded people join in on the conversation. Have something you think might be more of a bug? You can send it to us directly through the in-app feedback tool by heading to the … menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback and include diagnostics. Detailing exactly what you see will ensure that the team understands the issue at hand, and if you include your email address it offers you the ability to receive email updates whenever we take action on your item. Until our next update, happy holidays wherever you are and a happy new year, Insiders! Talk to you in the new year!

Paul_VC The answer is "kind of". All of the submissions get put into the same feedback system that in-app feedback goes to, so feedback is seen by the team from there. However, we don't respond over there at this time due to some resource constraints. Same story from every tech company right now, amirite? 😉 Re: items not being equal across the two spaces - yeah, part of that is my fault. I haven't closed out items over there that have been closed on this list. We don't yet have a solid plan around changes here, but know that I do have it on my list to adjust. That list seems to be forever long these days, but now that I am no longer on restrictions from back surgery I am able to get back to my full work load and get things where they need to be. 🙂 I like the idea of reviewing the amount of votes/comments there to make it on this list, I will consider that a path we take! Thanks for prodding me about this often, it does help remind me how important this is to the community and where improvements can be made. I have felt terrible about the lack of updates I have been able to do here, 2023 will bring more changes as I review the most recent Insider Survey, too.

Hello, Insiders! We went through all the feedback in the survey from June and boy do we have a lot to go over! Over the next month, you will see updates from us about what we heard, what we’re doing about it now, and what else we want to change. We are stoked to share the changes coming with you, and looking forward to working with our partners to improve your feedback experience. Now onto the feedback summary! We have a couple of brief updates for you this month. Canary users should see the double-click to close tabs option, however we are still working on a few things before users in China will see this more broadly. We should have more updates next month, so stay tuned! Want to see this feature in your region? Let us know by giving us feedback on the Discussion thread here so the team can see the request. ICYMI – there are updates coming to Collections! We are working out a few things still but Enable search of items in Collections will be coming with these changes, so that status has been updated to Planned for November. You can expect to see more from us on that as we get closer to the end of the year (which in reality is really only two updates away, where did 2022 go?). Lastly, while it is not on this list, we briefly mentioned in the past about the huge context menu and Settings and more (…) lists. We have been working on those changes and have updates to share soon! The team would love to hear feedback from you all once we are able to share the changes we have been working on. That’s it for this update! We will be back in September with our next update and more details on the feedback survey results. Did you know we have a new portal in which you can submit feedback on what changes you want to see? We found out through the survey results this is your second most preferred way of providing the team feedback! You told us that you enjoy the fact one can search to see if their idea is already on the Edge Feedback portal, and that you can post up a new suggestion to get other likeminded people to comment and vote on it.

kinmfer Hey! Yes, it currently is the most up to date right now. Back in August I suffered a pretty severe disc herniation and it was well-timed with Josh taking off all of September. 😉 We're behind on our updates, but we're catching up finally and hope to have updates next week or the week after for this list. We're working on a ton of internal shuffling as well, so that has taken up our time with coordination while I am working reduced hours. I haven't advertised this much anywhere except LinkedIn, so I apologize if there is any frustrations in the community around this. Know that I am on the mend and we are picking up our dropped pieces. 🙂 SpEcIaLiStJoKeR I wanted to make sure you knew as well that you can add the Feedback button to the toolbar for ease of access, and if you are on a Windows or Linux device you can use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+i to bring up the feedback tool. You can right-click on your toolbar to bring up the Customize toolbar settings and add on the feedback button at the bottom of the list. Hopefully this is what you were asking for, let me know if I misunderstood! :3 Missy Quarry (she/they) Community Manager - Microsoft Edge Join us on Twitter, or over on Reddit in r/MicrosoftEdge or r/edgeRe: Dev channel update to 106.0.1349.1 is now live!
Awesome to see! I am still chatting with the team about the situation in general to figure out what is happening here, so I wouldn't consider it 100% resolved just yet. Appreciate the update, though! 🙂 Your continued diligence is incredibly appreciated. 😄Top Feedback Summary for July 2022

Whoof, thanks for the update. I did not hear back from them last week, so I will poke again. Edge 105 is scheduled to go into Beta next week, I am hoping I can get some traction with them soon so this doesn't make its way there or is at least addressed quickly after.New ways to manage your passwords in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is committed to making web browsing safer for its users. Threats to a user’s online safety grow with each passing year, as does the value of the parts of our lives we spend online. It’s more important than ever to be sensitive to good online security habits. And although it can all seem a little overwhelming, Microsoft Edge is here to help. Over the past few months, the password manager in Microsoft Edge has undergone a complete transformation. It now offers a host of new capabilities that make your browsing experience more convenient and secure, to the extent that it will make any external password manager seem unnecessary. The best part? It comes with none of the concerns of adopting a third-party application, and it’s free! Read more about the comparison between a browser-based password manager and standalone password managers here: Password Security Blog If you’re short on time, or simply prefer watching a video on what's the latest in the Microsoft Edge password manager, we’ve got you covered: Microsoft Edge | How to keep your passwords safe with Microsoft Edge - YouTube The basics The built-in Microsoft Edge password manager has helped millions of users save their passwords in Microsoft Edge, autofill them in web forms, and sync them across all their signed-in devices. Microsoft Edge autofill offers free and secure storage of users’ most sensitive data and makes it available on all your signed-in and syncing devices, no matter the platform. Another benefit of using password autofill is that it is capable of defending you from phishing sites, because the password manager will only autofill passwords on the sites to which they belong. We’ve also added more capabilities to the password manager to let you edit passwords directly in Settings, view and copy your passwords, and control when the 'password reveal' icon appears inside password fields. Using the Microsoft Edge password manager is the best way to easily manage and help protect your account information. Foundational features We’ve added a host of powerful capabilities to keep you safer and more productive online. Many of you might already be familiar with several of these (and using them every day), but here's a summary of what they do: Password Monitor: Microsoft Edge will warn you if any of your passwords match those found in a known online leak. It's NOT safe to continue using these passwords and you should update them as soon as possible! For more info, see Protect your online accounts using Password Monitor (microsoft.com). All your passwords are scanned automatically the first time you enable this feature. Thereafter, any password you use, save or update is scanned automatically. Of course – you can run a scan yourself anytime for all your saved passwords by going to edge://settings/passwords. Recent enhancements to this capability include improvements in manual scans (triggered using the 'Scan now' button in Settings), which includes a real-time progress indicator, a 'Stop scan' button, and a helpful summary at the end of the scan. Password Monitor alerts also offer new and more insightful information in every notification, to be more helpful with fewer interruptions. Password generator: Get strong and unique password suggestions whenever you need them! For more details, see Use Password Generator to create more secure passwords in Microsoft Edge. Device authentication for autofill: Add an additional layer of privacy to your saved passwords, so you can enjoy more peace of mind when your computer is unlocked or when sharing your device with others. For more info, see Additional privacy for your saved passwords (microsoft.com). Password health: Learn about which of your passwords are weak or reused, or have been found in an online leak, so you can update them right away and help protect your accounts. For more details, see Password health indicator (microsoft.com). Custom Autofill: Microsoft Edge now supports virtually any type of data. This opens up an exciting and wide range of possibilities. Go to edge://settings/personalinfo and select the ‘Add Personal Info’ button to add any information that you’d like to save to the browser so it’s readily available for autofill the next time you need it. New capabilities We’re also making investments to help reduce the time it takes to complete tedious tasks on the web, such as updating passwords and creating new online accounts. For details, see Create safer passwords in Microsoft Edge and Using auto account creation in Microsoft Edge. (Please note that these capabilities are still new and currently available on a limited number of websites.) Going forward We’re constantly working to improve security and convenience for everyone using the Microsoft Edge password manager. We hope you continue to choose Microsoft Edge as the password manager of your choice, that you use strong and unique passwords for each of your accounts, and that you update any passwords that are found to be unhealthy. Microsoft Edge can help you complete each of these tasks quickly to help you remain safe and productive online.Re: DevTools Command Palette now available for testing in Canary channels
Daniel Harris Thanks for the feedback, Daniel! The DevTools team is watching their GitHub repo for feedback, so if you haven't dropped this there I highly encourage you to! I'll forward this on to them, but posting in their repo will for sure get eyes on the suggestion. :3 Missy Quarry (she/they) Community Manager - Microsoft Edge Join us on Twitter, or over on Reddit in r/MicrosoftEdge or r/edgeDevTools Command Palette now available for testing in Canary channels
Hello Insiders, We are pleased to announce a new experimental feature: Command Palette, now ready for early testing in Microsoft Edge Canary (starting with version 105). Command Palette makes it possible to quickly access browser management and developer tools features with just one keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Space. Press the shortcut and get access to tab, bookmark, and collection management features, or developer tools features like simulating a mobile device, clearing the cache memory, and more. If you are familiar with other command palettes like the one in VS Code, or PowerToys, you will feel right at home. This is currently an experiment and needs to be enabled before use. Find out how to enable it, and what you can do with it from our documentation: Run commands via keyboard with Command Palette - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Docs If you have any feedback at all about it, please feel free to drop us a note on our DevTools GitHub repository. Thanks for helping us test this new feature, we hope you like it and are looking forward to improving it based on your feedback! The Microsoft Edge Developer Tools teamRe: Dev channel update to 105.0.1300.0 is now live!
Paul_VC Yeah, they are still digging into the situation, and I have no updates right now. Beta is currently delayed as it is, we're hoping it will go out today. Once you see it updated, please test it out for me again and submit feedback once more if it's still a problem. This will give us updated diagnostics and I can go back to the team banging more doldrums. 🙂 Missy Quarry (she/they) Community Manager - Microsoft Edge Join us on Twitter, or over on Reddit in r/MicrosoftEdge or r/edgeRe: Dev channel update to 104.0.1293.1 is now live!
Paul_VC Thanks, friend! I found your feedback item. I see you made it possible for us to contact you via your submission, so thank you for that! We will likely communicate further there, but first I am going to escalate this to the team and see if they are aware of the situation. I know I had seen issues like this in the past, but this one seems new. Side note on that flag: That was not intended for PDFs explicitly, so what you are seeing is expected. :3 Missy Quarry (she/they) Community Manager - Microsoft Edge Join us on Twitter, or over on Reddit in r/MicrosoftEdge or r/edge
