New feature | Edge PWAs are getting Hubs
This an example of Spotify web player and YouTube installed as a PWA in Edge Version 91.0.862.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) in this version, which is the first time this is appearing in a installed PWA, only the downloads button/hub appears there. I hope in the future the Global Media Controls button also become available there, that will make the most sense. we'll have to wait and see whether favorites, history or collections icons will be there too or not.Edge Canary installs itself in 2 places
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeCore\91.0.852.0 C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\91.0.852.0 user profile directory is only in "Edge SxS" folder though. I'm not sure what "EdgeCore" folder and a copy of the browser in there is for.PP1: I'm trying to transfer my 200 chrome profiles to edge, but i see a big problem
PROBLEM (PP): 1 Classification: GOOGLE PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 10 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) I like that i don't need to click 10000 install extension messages, i just see 2 banner where i need to confirm, all other is done automatically. Where is the problem? i lose the whole setting of my extensions. 200 extension in random mode that need to be reconfigured one by one. Please try to save the exact position of my chrome extensions, so that i see the same in edge too. Reorder 1 account with few extensions is a point, reorder 50 is another. i just wish to continue same workflow i'm doing on chrome with chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu support on edge, since such google apps with old ui are not compatible with apple cpu soon**. google has no idea to revert such thing back (now i restarted another discussion about the extension problem). this is why i want to start to use edge for such accounts. for me is ok if you implement this feature in 2021 or 2022 too, but please add it. at the end now i'm still using sierra - mojave on all my macs. i wish i could simply tell edge "connect to google sync and download extension order file". so you import such setting without need to activate google sync on my mac. i just need a web login. Between the 2, the fact that edge should be able to keep extension order is more important. ** we need to remember that both chrome dev and beta sidebyside version (and enterprise version soon too), that google just released, are not chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu compatible.New Feature in Edge Canary Version 84.0.492.0 - install sites as share target for the whole Windows
This newly added flag: Enable Share Targets Enables installed web apps to register for and receive Share requests from the Windows shell. Requires the Web App Identity Proxy functionality to be enabled as well. – Windows #edge-share-target which requires this flag to be enabled as well: Web Apps Identity Proxy Enables installed web apps to be created with modern Windows application identity for better integration with the Windows shell. – Windows #edge-webapp-identity-proxy the description of the flag is self explanatory but what it does is that when you install a social network website such as Twitter as an app in Edge, it will be added as a share target when you press Share button on Edge or anywhere on Windows 10. Twitter will be registered as a system-wide share target so any app or program in Windows 10 can share files to Twitter website. this was requested before and now implemented. thank you! this is an example of Share from Photos app and you see Twitter which is the website installed as app in Edge is a share target on the list. Keep in mind that this is the first implementation phase for this feature so it might have bugs or might not work for you at all.Extensions are remembered in Application Guard mode after fully closing it and the Edge browser
Version 81.0.410.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) I went to WDAG mode window, installed an extension from Microsoft add-on store, continued browsing the web for few minutes, then i closed the Application Guard window and closed Edge. waited approx 1 or 2 minutes, launched Edge canary again and started a new Application Guard window, then I noticed the extension that I had installed is still in there! that was absolutely not what I expected, the Application Guard window should flush itself and clear all of user data once closed.Edge insider Canary Imported my extensions from Edge classic
So I just fresh installed Edge insider Canary to get its new logo and it's Version 80.0.323.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). during uninstall, I chose to remove all user data. after reinstall, Edge insider Imported my reading list from Edge classic and that was expected, but one thing that was strange was that it actually Imported 1 of my extensions too! ublock origins. another thing, on my previous Edge insider Canary, I had downloaded and installed ublock origins extension from Google chrome store but now that I check on my new Edge insider installation, it's downloaded from Microsoft extension store. these were nice experiences. I personally liked that Edge automatically checks my extensions and downloads them from Microsoft extension store if there is a version of it available there.
