Re: Top Feedback Summary for September 23
MissyQ As always, thank you for the update. Agreed with others that sync issues should be a high priority, and any updates welcome. Also, want to press on the request to "collapse tab groups" that are available in Chrome. Can this be added as a feature? I would add that this would be quite helpful, particularly as sync works.11KViews4likes0CommentsRe: Discussion - Set Aside Tabs and Warn on Close
Elliot Kirk Just looping back on this topic -- is there any plan to have a tab group "collapse" feature (similar to what's available in Chrome)? I use tab grouping extensively, and it's helpful to be able to temporarily collapse those groups to save on some screen real estate. Thanks very much!4.6KViews2likes3CommentsRe: Announcing a new way to paste URLs, Link format!
Thank you @MissyQ and team. This will be a huge productivity increase for me, as I regularly send out documents, presentations, e-mails, etc. with links attached. I always have to ask my self if I copied all of the text in the address bar, check/double-check to make sure the link works correctly, etc. Thank you!209KViews1like0CommentsRe: Top Feedback Summary for January 28
CMasterson Thank you very much for the update and overall explanation; very helpful! I suppose I was slightly frustrated when I heard that history sync would be pushed back a few months, but upon further reflection, I'd rather have this important feature set "rock-solid" when it's introduced as opposed to including something that wasn't ready for prime-time. In my view, by the time summer rolls around (which, really, is not that far away), this delay will all be forgotten. Thanks again to the Edge team; you have a great product that is now my browser of choice!4.1KViews1like0CommentsRe: Top Feedback Summary for January 22
MissyQ Thank you for the update! Especially looking forward to the sync updates. Speaking of which, I had two questions: Should I assume that "open tabs" sync across devices is included as part of the "Enable sync of browsing history between devices" workstream? I didn't explicitly see this, so was just curious. With 5 days remaining in January, are you able to give us a sense about whether or not these features will still be available by the end of the month?8.6KViews1like0CommentsTab Groups - A Game Changer!
This has been part of the Chrome feature set, but just found this experimental feature on the "edge://flags" page: Tab Groups. From a visual and organizational perspective, this is tremendously helpful, since for one of my cloud-based apps, I can have as many as 10+ tabs open simultaneously. Obviously this won't save me hours (or even minutes) of work each day, but over the course of a year, being able to quickly identify my appropriate tab will help me become more productive and focused. Very happy to have found this on #edge!1.7KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Discussion - Updating our interface with Fluent touches
Elliot Kirk As it turns out, I may have responded too quickly about the spacing of the extensions (in my previous post, I stated that I preferred the spacing of extensions to be similar to Chrome, Firefox, et al). After using the beta (and now stable) version for a length of time, I'm actually getting used to the extension spacing and usually prefer this spacing most of the time now (though to be honest, with at least 14 extensions currently installed (!), perhaps having an option to "compress" the extensions or have a "standard" width might satisfy the broader customer base and my occasional change of mind ). I also like the current size of the toolbar and address bar, and would strongly advocate against having a default smaller size. Ability to add distinct color or color themes to the main browser interface. Add transparency or other material effect to the main browser interface. The corners of the tabs and browser buttons have been rounded too much. Make the tab band and address bar / toolbar smaller if device doesn’t support touch capability. Update or add animations to user interface. Add a reveal effect to highlight on mouse hover. Congratulations on the launch, thanks again for listening!4.9KViews1like0CommentsRe: Discussion - Updating our interface with Fluent touches
Elliot Kirk Thanks very much for this post, very helpful to understand how the team is thinking about the changes and its impact to users. For "The address bar and text are too large," I would love to see the spacing between my icons (both extension and Edge) become much more similar to that of Chrome. For me, it's a little clunky when it's so spread out. Thanks for the consideration!45KViews12likes3Comments
