Pick up where you left off on Microsoft Edge PDF Reader
Thank you for all the love and feedback that you have shared with us as we continue our journey to become your PDF reader of choice. Reading long PDF documents is a very time consuming and tedious task we have all gone through. To make reading such documents easier we have already added ‘Read Aloud’ that lets you rest your eyes and listen to your PDF documents. We have now added another feature to make your reading experience even better by letting you pick up where you left off on the PDF documents you read in Microsoft Edge. When you reopen your PDF documents in Microsoft Edge, it will start from the position, zoom state and the layout that you were last reading it in. The feature is currently available in Microsoft Edge Canary and Dev channels and will be available by default to all users in Microsoft Edge release 95. If you prefer starting your PDF documents from the very first page every time you open the document, we have added a setting that lets you do that as well. Share your feedback with us and tell us how we can build a better PDF reader that suits your needs. Go to “…” menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback, or simply use the shortcut (Shift+Alt+i) to open the feedback tool and share your thoughts with this.
Feature Request - Add Sidebar to Microsoft Edge Apps
I find the new sidebar mobile sites feature very useful. I am a Windows 11 user, so I could previously always just use Windows 11 snap layouts to drag one site to the left and one to the right. But with sidebar mobile sites, as seen in the image, the two sites are now a "locked pair" that can be moved around and resized independently. I also like the Edge "apps" feature that opens a site in a dedicated window. It helps me organize my window layout better and sometimes helps me keep focus better. However, it appears that the sidebar cannot be activated in Edge apps. I can hit Ctrl + Shift + E to open sidebar search, but I can't activate any of the other sidebar apps.
Edge Chromium's URL bar randomly appear inside web app
I installed Netflix site as an app because for some reasons it runs better than its native app and everything work out for a while but after a few months or sometimes weeks Edge Chromium's URL bar randomly appear inside the app which is very frustration because it prevents the player from going into full screen mode while watching movies or TV Show and also it doesn't look good either. Also Worth noting that it doesn't appear all the time, It's only appeared once I'm searching or watching the show. I usually fix this by uninstall the apps and reinstall them back and it'd usually be working. But in heavy case I have to completely uninstall edge itself and reinstall it back just to fix one minor problem and after a few months, the problem is coming back again. It's a very weird behavior I try searching for solution but no one seems to have the problem except me. Edge Version 84.0.522.40 (Official build) (64-bit)Deploying a PWA and an icon - too much to ask?
Having logged a call with support i've been informed its impossible to deploy an icon allong with the config to deploy a pwa? Using the following policy https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fdeployedge%2Fmicrosoft-edge-policies%23configure-list-of-force-installed-web-apps&data=04%7C01%7Co365sup8%40microsoft.com%7C01aa4572328c4f549a3a08d97864a726%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637673195983809537%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=HlbpXTlA%2F6btSLu5qp7aKIj3g%2B0Mt4MQfBiGmdqyY0U%3D&reserved=0 I wanted to control the icon delivered on the desktop when installed after using the "create_desktop_shortcut": true, "default_launch_container": "window" } configuration. Im struggling to understand why you couldn't pull down an .ico or image such as a png to act as its icon. Am I supposed to wait until the new microsoft app store is available and use pwabuilder.com?
Edge App shortcuts being removed from desktop
Since updating Windows 10 and Microsoft, when I open a website app from my desktop, the shortcut gets deleted, this is such a shame as I'm a big fan of creating apps from Edge, it used to be my favourite chrome feature. It's likely a bug causing the issue, but having desktop apps for Edge Web Apps isn't possible with the latest versions so hopefully this is fixed soon
