SS48: don't remove MacOS Mojave support on Edge, even if Google now announced to us that they will
Suggestion (SS): 48 Classification: Browser Compatibility PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 10 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) Few hours ago Senior Dev reported us the no interest of keeping MacOS Mojave support on Chrome. In 2 years they are removing the 2 best MacOS ever released, before Apple started to downgrade features in MacOS (and obviously adding some other too), especially related to all backup workflows, that now are more complex, but even to permissions and multiple other things. We reported the new downgrade for external drives implemented in MacOS 12/13 https://old.reddit.com/r/appledatahoarding/comments/11ikj38/next_macos_downgrade_available_with_monterey/, but this is not the point now. We explained already https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1413784&q=sierra%20chrome&can=1 why they should keep support for such MacOS, and later again https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1322548#c68 Now the point is: we are trying our best to revert such decision, like we wrote https://old.reddit.com/r/appledatahoarding/comments/11jufgo/google_chrome_support_will_end_in_few_months_for/, but it's important that other chromium based devs know about such problematic and evaluate to continue support, if this is technically possible. Remember that MacOS 10.14 is not like all other MacOS released by Apple, so removing such MacOS is not like removing Catalina, High Sierra etc. If there are question why MacOS Mojave support is so important, just write directly to us. We already experienced the direct consequence of removing MacOS on Chromium on all browsers and apps few months ago with Sierra. Please keep in mind that this is not just related to Chrome, but even Chromium based browsers, Mac Apps using Electron, and all other Mac Apps too (because if one is starting to remove support, especially big brands, the other will follow much easier*). So be open with your mind and don't write "i'm not using Chrome or Mojave, doesn't matter for me". There is the possibility that Google maybe know about some changes with Xcode, like we wrote https://old.reddit.com/r/appledatahoarding/comments/11jho7y/meanwhile_the_batch_deletion_of_other_2_macos_by/ but probably is not the case. If this is true, then the situation would be much worse, if now Apple really decides to remove multiple MacOS, like we previously reported with out https://old.reddit.com/r/appledatahoarding/comments/114o7zt/remember_2023_will_be_the_most_crucial_year_of/ *Keep in mind that almost 70%+ of all browsers available for MacOS (80+) are Chromium based. ------------ In case you will not doing that and Google will not keep support for Mojave, please provide directly link to download a browser version compatible with up to MacOS Sierra and one up to MacOS Mojave, instead of just download last version. Avoid auto update of the app too. So don't install new incompatible app automatically, which make no sense at all.Re: Remember 15.3.2021 there will be A BIG CHANGE! Backup data now
cmd c cmd v from reddit: https://perma.cc/PM6L-66QQ?rapplestyleroadtopetabytebackup https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1185459 https://perma.cc/MEP2-UQ26?rapplestyleroadtopetabytebackup i asked more details to memex devs, but they haven't answered me until now. no idea what memex is? this https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/worldbrains-memex/abkfbakhjpmblaafnpgjppbmioombali Please note: for sync features there are huge influences to Kinza, SRWare etc. browsers (in different browsers already now gsync doesn't work, or better already 1+ year ago...). For other browsers (like opera, coccoc, salamweb, qq, 360, etc.) is especially related to usage of chrome extensions and data connected to such extensions. The gravity is still not clear. I personally never got anything until now, and i use over 50+ browsers with 200+ chrome accounts, but this doesn't mean the problem is not available. Better to keep an additional backup, instead of having bad experiences... Different questions still remain, like: "ok, even if we have the backup, can we still use the data now or what?" or "which extensions/data are exactly influenced by such changes?", "does google apply this to all browsers, or only browsers released after xxx?", etc. for the image of memex you need to check https://old.reddit.com/r/chromebasedbrowsers/comments/lywxqb/urgent_chromium_89_deletes_browser_profiles_incl/ because they haven't posted any public message, i only got an email. There are probably no changes if you use only Edge sync and Edge store (or at least i think...)Remember 15.3.2021 there will be A BIG CHANGE! Backup data now
Videos are not supported, so check https://www.tiktok.com/@chromiumbrowsers/video/6937054009324817669?lang=it-IT&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v3 and/or https://old.reddit.com/r/chromebasedbrowsers/?rapplestyleroadtopetabytebackup Edge is chromium, so is influenced too. I already opened a bug, but probably they don't revert such changes PS: is about another downgrade by Google Devs, where they block browser sync (less related to Edge, since we use Edge Sync), extensions, etc.Add lifetime block url and not just 90days
wish i could submit url that are not related to my domain too, like i was able to do in 2017, but at least you allow us 10urls pro day. and please remember: keep 2 different accounts. 1 for outlook 1 for webmaster.... is so annoying i need to logout every time ...I just want to tell you that i suggested other 50-100 improvements to Edge Devs in the last time
I don't share such things here, because there are a lot of personal information that i don't want to share with the public, maybe soon i will make a summary of the most important points, if you wish that. Or just wait, until Edge implement it. Then you will see it xD Example of topics: bookmarks, search bar, toolbar, settings, edge in small size, using edge with low resolution display setting, smart search, other smart buttons (i already talked about some previously), better tab management, better domain based features, etc. I submitted different problems that i discovered too. So be ready to see another boost for edge. For different suggestions devs are already on working. Good day CiaoRe: A really crazy suggestion
other options: two windows, two edge or vivaldi for example (there are other browsers too). there are extensions too, but i never tried it. PS: is not crazy, i did a similar suggestion to vivaldi VVSS3 (cannot post 3. links...). 2 of 10+ suggestions that i wrote today to edge devs were about this topic, but more related to the fact that i use 2 browser in 1 display, so i use edge with small size... EDIT: just added it to ***moreedgesuggestionsRe: History Button on Edge Dev
Limyx826 i mean that you can use the menu bar here = history (in english) PS: now there aren't any sessions, but you see session here too. i saw sessions on the toolbar button last time too. this option is gone (on the bottom of history menu bar, used to access history panel), because now they open history toolbar buttonQQ5: edge devs, what is the maximum bookmarks amount before you crash or create problems?
QUESTION (QQ): 5 you maybe should know about the 25-30k problem of icloud sync, the 30-40k problem of different chromium browsers when we want to import bookmarks, now the question is "devs, have you tested such things, do you know where your limits are?" Same for history, what is the amount of history before you create problems? i hope you avoid the 200-300k limit like apple. is huge annoying apple deletes history. you should be able to keep even 2mio of links.Re: SS47: resize toolbar / search bar
Kam i want to see like that where the rest of my http://www...... (screenshot 3) is just white/grey*** (so no link at all). my extensions need to be more to the left, so i don't need to move to much my mouse. the address/search bar should be shorter, extensions and other buttons more to the left and then just white space. on the right side we see edge accounts (screenshot 4). PS: obviously add to bookmarks should be in screenshot 1 and not 3... *** doesn't matter the color (= it should be blank), since it depends from which chrome theme you use. it can be even blue like thisRe: SS47: resize toolbar / search bar
Wittycat is not possible to do that with few extension, since edge (and other chromium based browser) cannot move the bar to the left (if no enough extensions are installed) --> is like this, but instead of showing me the second search bar you show me the extension and then white space.SS47: resize toolbar / search bar
Suggestion (SS): 47 Classification: TOOLBAR PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 2-3 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) If we want to move it to the left is not possible (if we don't have 40 extensions for example). instead you should show me in such way where the extension is visible more to the left and after that i see a white space.Re: QQ4: are the current apps apple cpu compatible without rosetta?
Running Edge on ARM PC is not the same like running Edge on Big Sur (with Intel) or running on ARM Mac with Rosetta and Big Sur or ARM Mac without Rosetta (maybe MacOS 11.6) or inside Parallels Desktop using a ARM Mac without Rosetta support (ex. MacOS 11.6 with BigSur in Parallels). There are huge difference.Re: QQ4: are the current apps apple cpu compatible without rosetta?
HotCakeX yes, but the question is "are all 5x Edge apps apple cpu compatible, no matter of rosetta", because all apps are now m1 compatible, but once rosetta is removed (example in 2025) such apps don't work anymore. Now we exclude the topic "Edge devs release new Apps until 2025, like they did until now". is only about compatibility of current apps. For example can i use a flash compatible Edge in 2022 without rosetta? Or can i use a 2020 version, if in 2021 edge devs remove some features (like apple did with safari, or other browser too). Is the same like asking "Can i use Firefox 64 on Apple CPU?" and the answer is "no, Firefox 64 with PNG support is not Apple CPU compatible, even if i can run it on M1"
