Can we have these Edge settings added to the sync?
edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose This is only a demo of 5 sites, my actual list is long and it is really time consuming and hard to manually add that to each instance of Edge, one by one. please add these to the settings sync in Edge so we can get the same experience on all of our machines automatically. eventually I hope all of the settings in Edge to be synced but this is a nice security feature that needs sync to be efficient. thanks DeletedAdd Audio-only blocking to Media autoplay blocking in Edge browser
Currently the media Auto-play blocking options (Allow, Limit, Block) only apply to Videos. but what if we want the video to be auto-played, but its audio be muted by default? so I think these options needed to be added to that settings page which also has lots of vacant space left to be filled with useful options. edge://settings/content/mediaAutoplay Block Audio Block Video Block Audio and Video (should also block Auto-Buffering/preloading of media)Windows 11 visual change contains transparency for Edge, make it available for the entire UI
If you install Windows 11 latest version from Windows insider and have the latest Edge canary, you can enable this flag, restart your browser and see the new changes in the Edge UI. edge://flags/#edge-pc-ui-integration Edge menu on the right is transparent as well as right-click context menu on different parts of Edge, they are really nice, but the rest of the settings page is still in the old gray style. I know it's still work in progress, but I hope once Edge developers are done with it, they complete the transparent page for Edge and don't leave it like this. the toolbar and title bar also should be transparent too. hopefully Edge's settings page will eventually look like Windows 11's settings page.
Edge features list
While I appreciate the effort the developers put into expanding the Edge functionality, I also get frustrated when functionality doesn't have proper policies to turn it on/off. A few examples: - Read Aloud msedge.exe --disable-features=msReadAloud,msShowReadAloudIconInAddressBar Currently this works, but there is no policy equivalent - Citations msedge.exe --disable-features=msEdgeCitations Currently this works, but there is no policy equivalent - Sharing Setting policy 'configure the share experience' to disabled does a good job of hiding the newer sharing hub flyout menu. Sadly enough, when selecting the address from the address bar (omnibox) you are presented with a 'Create QR code for this page' button instead. I have not found a way to turn off the QR Code Generator. - Window Naming No policy or command line parameter exists to turn off this feature as far as I know - Bookmarks toolbar button No policy or command line parameter exists to turn off this feature as far as I know. The only way this is configurable at the moment is by specifying 'show_toolbar_bookmarks_button' in the initial_preferences file, which doesn't work well in combination with ephemeral profiles. (only works one time - and many others... Just to be clear: I'm already running edge in kiosk (public browsing) mode. You would expect a minimal UI with a titlebar, optionally a (read-only) addressbar,... But instead you're presented with all that clutter. Even access to the ellipsis menu button, task manager, breakouts to other websites through 'Help and Feedback' > 'What's new', 'Report unsafe website',... are still available in kiosk mode. The only other option that exists is to run the browser in digital signage kiosk mode, but then the user gets a full-screen experience with no access to other applications in Windows. So that's useless if you want to give the user access to more than 1 application. I understand Edge works like Chrome with prefs, settings, features, switches and flags. But I really hope that https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies are going to be put in place for every feature open to the main public. Customizability is key for large enterprise environments. Now that I got that off my chest... Does anybody know if Microsoft has documented the different prefs, settings, features, switches and flags somewhere? Some of it I can find by reading the https://source.chromium.org/, but Microsoft changes to Edge are of course not there.Broken dark mode and inverted colors!
Hi there, I've been sending reports about this issue in "Feedback" of Microsoft Edge DAILY for a YEAR now ! Because of the following issues that they keep increasing with every new major update of Edge... And YES I send the diagnostic data with every feedback.. and NO it's not an issue of my Windows because this is happening on several machines with several Windows versions, and it only happens when I'm turning on "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" from edge://flags/ If I turn it off everything goes back to normal, but also the dark mode completely goes away! So this is related to the #enable-force-dark from the flags, don't send me steps of how to fix my Windows or how to reset Edge... The main issue is that "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" inverts the colors of A LOT of unrelated stuff in almost EVERY-SINGLE-WEBSTIE !!! Like logos, avatars, profile pics, emojis, some parts of the web design and even some text colors and more!! Which makes these stuff either VERY hard to see/understand OR it makes them completely invisible! 🤦🏻:male_sign: Below are some screenshots of "some" of the issues.. these aren't everything I found, these are just a few examples that I gathered to show you how bad is it.. 1- Many things in frontapp.com / app.frontapp.com like logos and emojis 2- Twitter's emojis and some of the profile pics in there 3- Lots of forums.. actually almost any forum anywhere! Enabling and forcing dark mode and all I see is WHITENESS ! and no words are visible!!! 4- Amazon... 5- DELL... 6- Disney+... 7- Frame.io video previews and almost all video previous from every website! (This started to happen since Edge v102, it was bad .. now it's worse) 8- YouTube white banners in top and bottom when you move the mouse the seek bar pops up.. (Full Screen) YouTube when you are not in full screen there is a white banner in the bottom.. YouTube seek preview if that pic/scene is dark (inverted colors) 9- LG Website (And everything like it including Amazon) 10- Nvidia.. 11- TechSpot 12- Even Your OWN SETTINGS PAGE !! I mean look at this pics carefully... does any color make any sense here?! And all these issues are nothing compared to the WHITE FLASH that blinds me for a few seconds when I start Edge!!!!! I'm using DARK MODE for everything in Edge, WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING A WHITE FLASH THAT ALMOST BLINDS ME THEN???!!!! I mean.. do you even test your stuff and changes ??? Do you test "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" with every major update you do ??? Because with every major update things gets worse NOT BETTER! Which means either you don't test or you don't care! 🤷🏻:male_sign: I just had a surgery for my eyes a couple of months ago and I use DARK MODE for everything I have because anything bright hurts MY EYES before and after the surgery... WE ARE NOT USING DARK MODE BECAUSE IT'S COOL, WE ARE USING IT FOR OUR EYES!! SO STOP IGNORING IT !!! These issues have been there AND INCREASING for more than a year now! And again, it's getting worse with every major update of Edge... and again, the screenshots above are just a few examples! The inverted colors are in every-single website!!! And please don't tell me to fix my Windows or Edge because as I said this is happening on every single machine with every single Windows I've tested.... And each machine/Edge has different apps and no extensions.. You guys turn on "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and you will see these disastrous issues everywhere that you don't test.. so this option needs to be fixed/optimized.. and don't forget about the terrible useless white flash at the start.... So... when are these issues going to be fixed??New Improvements to Edge settings - smart merge (new tab page, home, startup)
Microsoft Edge Version 90.0.808.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) New: Old - How it looked before: So what has happened is that these 2 settings pages: edge://settings/newTabPage edge://settings/onStartup have been merged into one: edge://settings/startHomeNTP (Start, home, and new tabs) a very smart and good move to optimize free space and organize options more efficiently. Another change in settings: edge://settings/appearance selecting "set button URL" takes you to the newly merged settings page. New: Old: As always, remember changes in insider channels may follow the controlled feature rollouts plan.Soon we are getting more mini/bubble style context-menu options on Edge
Edge Canary has this option in the appearance settings (controlled feature rollout) "Mini menu when selecting texts in PDFs" is referring to this but notice, it's not just a single toggle button, in fact it's an item of a longer list, or group. also obvious when you look at that part in dev tools. another sign is that at the top it says "Context Menus" yes, plural, more than one. my guess is that more of these bubble/popup style menus will show up soon. the next place is probably going to be Immersive Reader mode, where you don't have to right-click on highlighted text anymore, or keep going up and down to use the toolbar items repeatedly. you just highlight a text and all the available options will automatically be presented to you. it could also hint at customization abilities that might be coming to the regular right-click menu and maybe let us customize each option that appears there, to shorten it and tune it to our needs, since many people, including myself, complained that it's getting too long
Appearance Settings page shows link to Chrome Themes instead of Edge Add-ons Theme Page
I noticed when you go to Settings-Appearance, Edge shows a link to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/themes, when instead it could direct users to the https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/microsoft-edge-themes Shouldn't the message and link direct users to Edge's own add-ons website?
Same version of Edge showing different settings
Wondering why when I have the same version of Microsoft Edge 99.0.1150.55 the setting choices are not the same. They are on two different versions of Windows one is Windows 10 Pro 21H1 and the other is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809. The 1809 version is what we use for our VMWare virtual machines. You can see that the lower image doesn't have the same choices. So I am wondering is that because of the different Windows 10 versions? and why?
