Edge Sync Persistent Failure
Subject: Edge Sync Persistent Failure: "Our services aren't available" on syncreset page and Sync Engine stuck on "Initializing" Hi everyone, I’m seeking urgent help regarding a persistent Microsoft Edge sync issue that has lasted for several days across 5 different devices (4 Windows PCs and 1 iOS device). The Symptoms: Sync Engine Deadlock: On all my Windows devices, the edge://sync-internals page shows the Transport State as "Initializing" or "Backed off". The Total Entries often drop to 0, or it shows Network error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED). Server-Side Lockdown: I am unable to access the Edge sync reset page (https://edge.microsoft.com/syncreset) from ANY browser or ANY network environment (including mobile data and different VPN nodes). It consistently returns: "Our services aren't available. We're working to restore all services as soon as possible. Please check back soon." Question: Since the syncreset page is unavailable globally for my account, it seems to be a back-end identity/gateway issue rather than a local client error. Has anyone else encountered this "Services aren't available" error on the reset page recently? Is there a way to force a server-side sync container refresh when the official reset tool is down?
Bookmarks are being forced into the active Tab Group (New behavior)
Hi there, I’ve noticed a very frustrating change in the latest Edge update. When I open a bookmark from the Favorites bar, it is now automatically forced into the currently active Tab Group. This behavior is counter-intuitive. For example, if I am browsing in a "Social" group and click a bookmark for "Gmail," I want it to open as a standalone tab, not as a part of the "Social" group. Currently, I have to manually drag every new tab out of the group, which is a major workflow killer. Disabling experimental flags doesn't fix this anymore. Please provide a toggle in the Settings menu to disable "Tab Group Inheritance" for bookmarks or revert this change. It should be the user's choice whether to add a new tab to a group or not.
Zoom with Scroll + Modifier Key Not Working in Edge on macOS
Hello, I am using Microsoft Edge on macOS and I would like to zoom in and out of web pages using a modifier key (Command, Option, or Control) together with scroll Currently, Command + Scroll does not zoom the page. I understand that macOS may override this behavior through accessibility settings, but I would like to enable this functionality specifically in Edge without affecting system-wide behavior. Could you please advise: Is it possible to enable zoom using Scroll + Modifier Key in Edge on macOS? If not, are there any recommended workarounds or planned features for this? Thank you for your help DanceLens!
Azure Tiles Not loading with MS Edge Beta v147.0.3912.16
In the latest version of MS Edge, we cannot view or access the SAML Certificate data for Enterprise Applications hosted in Entra ID. Before: (v146.0.3856.62) After updating to v147.0.3912.16: As can be seen, the certificates cannot be displayed or accessed from this tile. This is affecting our test users who cannot rotate their SAML certificates but may have other impact for other Azure resources being accessed with MS Edge Beta.Export tool for Edge Collections before deprecation
Microsoft is deprecating the 'Collections' feature in Edge, but there is currently no export option available for personal Microsoft accounts. This creates a serious problem for users who rely heavily on Collections for research, organization, and long‑term workflows. In my case, I have 166 main Collections, each containing dozens of items. Migrating this manually is simply impossible/undoable. ‼️ Please Microsoft: provide an official export tool (HTML, JSON, or migration to Favorites/Bing Saves) before removing the feature. Without this, users risk losing years of structured work and saved content. This is essential for anyone who has used Collections as a core part of their workflow.
[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Hi, Since around 2025-09-07 to 2025-09-10, I’ve noticed that on GNOME (Wayland) all installed PWAs (even across different profiles) now appear grouped under the main Edge browser icon in the GNOME Shell dash/taskbar. Previously, each PWA would open in its own window group with its own icon. This is still the behavior in Chromium/Brave/Chrome, and can be restored there by editing the PWA’s .desktop file to set: StartupWMClass=<same value as Icon> However, Edge now seems to ignore StartupWMClass completely on Wayland, breaking workspace separation and making task switching hard. Environment: Ubuntu 25.04 GNOME 48.0 / Mutter (Wayland) Kernel 6.14.0-29 Intel Iris Xe GPU Edge (latest stable, observed post 2025-09-13) Repro steps: Install any PWA (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Spotify) from Edge Launch it (from any profile) Observe that it appears grouped under the main Edge browser icon Expected: PWA shows under its own icon and window group like in Chromium-based browsers Actual: All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps This regression makes PWAs much harder to manage on Wayland. Please route to the Linux/Wayland team if possible. Thanks!
Edge rendering inside a container that cuts off pixels
Hello. In Microsoft Edge version 145.0.3800.58 (Official Build) (64-bit), web pages are displayed by default within a container with rounded corners and padding on all sides. This results in pixels being lost in height and width. It also means that CSS definitions with a min-width for common resolutions such as Full HD (1920px in width) or WQHD (2560px in width) do not apply. Many front-end frameworks rely on these pixel thresholds to dynamically adjust container sizes. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but as so often in the long, sad history of Microsoft web browsers, common web standards are once again being ignored. This time it's for a feature that no one really needs, but which once again causes extra work for many web developers. Ever since I started working in web development, back when the dreadful Microsoft Internet Explorer was still widely used, it has always been extremely labour-intensive to adjust websites for Microsoft browsers. This has caused a great deal of frustration over the decades, and there seems to be no end in sight. Integrating the Chromium engine into Edge was a promising first step. But perhaps Microsoft could also start respecting web standards outside of the engine? I'm sure that hundreds of millions of web developers would be grateful. I suppose hope dies last 😉Edge Security breaks SQLite WASM loading
Edge with "Enhance your security on the web" toggled on, either Balanced or Strict breaks loading of the Sqlite WASM package. Believe this may have started with 144, but also appears to be in Dev/Canary 145. It looks as if it is somehow corrupting the WASM binary, although I am not an expert on this. You can confirm this by toggling the setting on and visiting projects using this library, eg. https://sqlime.org/
