Re: Dev channel update to 106.0.1356.0 is now live!
Facebook's script is poorly written & way buggy. Has been for years. But it's really alarming that it's able to hose Edge *AND* the OS (probably by blowing up DWM & the VMM). The OS should smite Edge for shenanigans before letting it topple the OS.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: Dev channel update to 106.0.1356.0 is now live!
Still nothing about slow launch and new tab opening. Also, Facebook scripting manages to take down the whole system, not just the browser for a good 6 weeks. Have submitted feedback many times but it's not getting any better.5.7KViews2likes3CommentsRe: Edge Dev Doesn't Run
It was working great then all of a sudden this afternoon, it went "(Not responding)" while I was browsing. I noticed it was getting increasingly sluggish before it fell over. Killed it, rebooted, reinstalled, same thing. Launches, sometimes gets to the "Didn't close correctly" message, then goes off into not respondingville. Since no part of the tab background starts to paint, It could be something wrong with the MS servers that handle the new tab processing.3.2KViews1like1CommentRe: Dev channel update to 97.0.1069.0 is live
I sent feedback on these; just sharing them here in case anyone else is interested. "Search web for image" on the context menu for an image has vanished again. It had briefly reappeared Monday & Tuesday but is gone with the update. Bing too often does not find images that Google finds for the 1st result (or, they are buried way, way, way down in the results). The Bing Sidebar UX is clumsy; doesn't let the user alter the search by entering additional criteria). On top of the functionality, it is beaucoup uncool to hijack or override the user's search engine choice and force them into Microsoft's service. "Search web for image" and "Visual Search" can (and have) peacefully coexist. -- PDF scrolling is still not working correctly. The previous experience I reported where text "fattened" on scroll and then returned to normal when the movement was completed has now been replaced by page going blank; unfocused text appears; page clears, repaints with legible text. Feedback submitted.9.5KViews1like1CommentSuper Disappointed Forced Use of Bing w/Edge Visual Search
There is a good reason my default search engine is Google: It has results that Bing doesn't find, especially images. 99 times out of 100 I get no matches when using Visual Search on an image. OTOH, if I drag it to the desktop and then drag it to Google Images, it's usually the 1st result and, most of the time, there's at least 4 or more with that. PLEASE change this back to "Search the web for..." and use whatever the system's default browser is. Or, at the very least, give us the ability to specify which provider we want for Visual Search. (Yes, I have submitted this as feedback several builds now.) If you are going to force Bing on us then include the same abilities to enter text, set date ranges, limit websites for results, etc, that Google has. Another helpful add: Report items not found in Bing that Google has no trouble finding in the first few/first page of results.1.1KViews1like0Comments
