Microsoft Edge Canary
17 TopicsNew feature - Selecting text will directly give an option to search on web
This feature is seen from Microsoft Edge (Canary) version 86.0.570.0 As the title says, there is a new feature added in Microsoft Edge in which when you select the text, you will get an option to search the web and when you will click that option, a new tab will be opened and that selected text will be searched. This feature currently works onbing.combut I think it would be added to all websites in the future and also can be improved a lot. Keep developing the new great features for Microsoft Edge2KViews3likes3CommentsProblem when entering fullscreen mode on YouTube
From many days I am seeing that sometimes when I try to enter fullscreen mode on YouTube, a weird thing occurs, the browser does not go to fullscreen mode, stays in windowed mode and the video shows a very weird resolution which appears to be a square on the screen. I have also sent feedback about this issue through the in-app feedback tool (Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge.Solved24KViews12likes40CommentsWhat happened to back button and refresh button on YouTube PWA
I today installed YouTube PWA from the Microsoft Edge Canary channel and what I saw is the back and refresh buttons on the left of titlebar are missing. I only saw it on the YouTube PWA. Has anyone else noticed this? Please resolve this issue as soon as possible as it makes unable to use the YouTube PWAjohnjansenDeletedSolved8.8KViews0likes12CommentsSite Icons for pinned sites
Hey there, Have submitted feedback, but thought to post a discussion about this also. Before the Canary update, when we pinned tabs in the browser, they would display the icon for the site. This was ideal for me as it made space for other tabs on the vertical tabs sidebar. With the latest update, this feature has been changed. It would be nice if we had a setting toggle which allowed us to show site icons for pinned tabs and site icons, and page title for other non-pinned tabs Nathan,1.8KViews0likes1CommentMicrosoft Edge Canary (Version 89.0.739.0) Has Problem In History Record
There's something wrong with the history record in Microsoft Edge Canary since I installed it earlier this year. I live in China now which is about 16 hours ahead from America. But the edge has never switch the time into correct one which my computer has set. As a result, when I open a website at 16:22, the record shows the time of 00:22. That's really confusing and it becomes an useless function since I can't see when I have visited the website. Hope this BUG could get fixed when I update the Microsoft Edge Canary. Thank you!1KViews0likes2CommentsThe new icons in Canary make Edge's design feel even more disconnected from Windows.
The new icons in Canary don't match those of the rest of the Windows operating system. In any Windows app, the settings icon has 8 spokes on the gear--you can see this in the Start menu and in the settings icon in apps like Microsoft News, Photos, and Camera. The normal Home icon can be seen in the Windows Settings app and in Backstage View in the Microsoft Office apps. The new Canary channel icons don't match those anymore. It makes Edge's design even more inconsistent with Windows's design than it already is. It's bad enough that Edge retains Material Design from Chromium, but it's worse that Edge is going to replace the only parts of the design that feel consistent with Windows. To my knowledge, Fluent design has separate mobile and desktop icons to feel natural on every device. Mobile icons should not be used on Windows. EDIT: looking more closely at their wording on the iconography and here, it looks like the new icons are going to be the same across all of Microsoft.3.2KViews0likes6CommentsDifference between close buttons of windowed mode and full screen shy UI
In the latest Canary Version88.0.678.0, the colours of the close button in shy-UI are different from Windowed mode. The cross of the close button is black rather than white and also the red colour in shy UI is dark than Windowed mode. The close button of the Windowed mode is correct. The issue is shown in the screenshot.943Views1like2CommentsProblems in Microsoft Edge Canary
I am finding many problems today from when I have opened Microsoft Edge Canary. The version is 85.0.537.0. Firstly, when I opened and started updating Microsoft Edge, it stuck at 66% and was not responding, so I closed it. When I reopened it, Edge started showing some notifications one-by-one that all of my extensions have crashed. Then I saw that none of the webpages was opening, even NTP. So, after trying a handful of times I came to a conclusion of uninstalling and then reinstalling the browser. The browser uninstalled successfully but when I downloaded and opened the installer, it started showing an error given below: So now I am stuck here. I hope that the issue fixes soon.Solved2.8KViews0likes3CommentsWhy is there an information badge without any reason on the favourites icon in the toolbar
Deletedjosh_bodner From many days I am seeing in the canary channel that sometimes without no reason, an information badge appears on the favourites icon in the toolbar but when I open the menu or go on the favourites page, I don't see any difference so I think it comes without any reason and if it comes with a reason, please make it more specific so that the user can understand easily what has happened.Solved1KViews0likes3Comments
