Personally, I know it was the option that I used the least out of the three back in the Edge Legacy days, so I'm curious if any of you have any idea how often you used the three different options? I am aware that it's in the 3-dot menu. I personally used the Save button way more than Save As because I use it as a secondary checkpoint for "do I really want to download this file?" along with seeing its file size. Also I have filed a Feedback.Re: Dev channel update to 87.0.634.0 is live
josh_bodner One of the main uses I had for this feature both in the old Microsoft Edge and on browsers like Firefox is being able to determine the size of the download any possibility that can be added back? There are times when this can't be determined and for those cases, that's when it's fine for it to not show up. Also, why is it ordered Open, Save As, Save? It should follow the convention of old Edge and IE with Open, Save, Save As and there should be the 3 options shown there by default, not just 2 (plenty of room to spare!)Re: Dev channel update to 84.0.522.5 is live
josh_bodner on the subject of Collections,, I would really appreciate if there was a way to expand the sidebar to a full page to easily manage Collection contents. As it is right now, it feels pretty cramped for more than a few handful of items. Once the amount of Collections and items grows, it becomes tedious to manage. It's good for a quick glance though.Re: Dev channel update to 84.0.516.1 is live

Google Docs, for example, share the same subdomain (docs.google.com), but each type of file (sheet, slide, etc.) should arguably have their own application since Google considers them three separate applications in their waffle menu. After all, does it really make sense to have a shortcut to a Sheets application, but then open a Slide with it? I would like to posit that this is more an issue with Google / sites in question and not exactly something that Microsoft should try to solve. The standards are there for them to follow and if they don't then they can't exactly expect browser vendors to bend over backwards for it. (With some exception where it starts affecting performance like what they do with YouTube) Or, going the other way, Facebook has a bunch of games you can play (I still play Angry Birds, for example). Those games live on their own subdomain though (apps.facebook.com). If I have a shortcut to the main Facebook app, then I also expect that clicking a link to a game keeps me in the app since since it's just another link to a Facebook page, and any other link to a Facebook page like somebody's timeline or a message keeps me in the app. A rule like "all that domain's pages" doesn't allow for that. In the case of Facebook, it would make sense to show the black bar up top when you navigate to apps.facebook.com in this case, and the person wouldn't be leaving the app anyway, they would just be seeing the black bar up top. The way it was originally implemented made it so that the warning feature has the least amount of clashes with regular sites installed as PWA. Now, it feels like it has a hair-trigger . But if you're steadfast in this direction though, the least I could request is that you add an option to let users specify on their own what should be part of the "app" via a settings entry of some sort. E.g. for Discord, that would be: *.discord.com/channels/* (Wild cards as *) So you get to keep the behavior that you prefer while still allowing choice for power users. You don't need to maintain a list of exceptions this way and power users can set things up themselves.Re: Dev channel update to 84.0.516.1 is live
josh_bodner Then what was wrong with letting sites installed as apps be dependent on the domain the way it originally worked? Since the site itself is installed as an app, it would make sense to consider all of that domain's pages as part of te "app" then?Re: Dev channel update to 84.0.502.0 is live
josh_bodner I have Discord intalled as a PWA and now it shows this bar whenever I navigate to a different server away from the page where I installed it from. It used to not show this for URLs in the same domain but now it shows up if the path just changes slightly. 😞Re: Dev channel update to 83.0.461.1 is live
josh_bodner Hello, may I ask how to revert to this kind of tab coloring? Because the new style is really hard on my eyes for visibility (accessibility-wise) on which is the active tab. Not to mention, the new style introduces an ugly gap on the right side of the active tab.
