Kiosk Mode
Hi, We are running Edge in Kiosk mode and I am trying to find information how to configure it for our specific requirements in an Enterprise environment. Requirements: URLAllowlist: "domainA.com", "domainB.com" URLBlocklist: "*" User must be able to access downloads from Edge User must be able to right click to save an image for example from a website User must be able to print Edge configuration: msedge.exe --kiosk https://domainA.com --edge-kiosk-type=public-browsing Is this specific configuration even possible with the latest version? I am running: Version 148.0.3967.83 (Official build) (64-bit)
Next Update for Edge not compatible with my mac
Hi, so I'm so sorry if this isn't the right place or if I'm doing this wrong, but I'm kind of freaking out. So I use Edge on an older mac that cannot be updated as mac no longer supports updates for it. I was previously using Edge Dev and after an update got a message saying that the next update won't be compatible with my mac and I tried not to update but at some point Edge Dev restarted and thus updated and then it wouldn't open on my mac, so I switched back to regular Edge. After the last update on regular Edge, I got the same pop up saying that the next update won't be compatible with my mac and now I'm terrified that when that update comes out at some point Edge will restart and update and then I will lose my ability to use Edge. I love Edge as a browser and have so much stored in it. I have exported my passwords just in case, but am still super scared that I'll lose all the work I've put into Edge and that I'll just lose Edge as it's such a superior browser that I've come to rely on. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I can't afford to get a new computer right now and as I mentioned my Mac doesn't support updates. Any help would be unbelievably appreciated. Thanks in advance.
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.PWA shortcuts don't keep asociated with window - Linux
I recently upgraded to version140.0.3485.14 (Official build) beta (64-bit) and noticed that my PWA, even if they open correctly in a independent window, don't show the "running window counter" on the taskbar. So, for example, if a open Outlook, the window open and loads the app, but if a I click the icon again, it opens another window, wich is a little annoying. I tried removing the PWA from Edge, rebooting, and installing again, but didn't work. Because the only change I made is updating Edge, I think is related to this build. (too lazy to go back or install the stable release)Critical Edge Sync issue after Win11Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration
A - ENGLISH VERSION Critical Edge Sync issue after Windows 11 Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration, Device Info = 5, modules stuck Hello, I am experiencing a major issue with Microsoft Edge synchronization after a full reinstall of Windows 11 Pro. Despite multiple reinstalls, several days of waiting, and all possible local troubleshooting steps, Edge Sync remains incomplete, and none of my historical data is rehydrated. Below is the full context, timeline, symptoms, technical observations, and questions. 1) Full chronological context 1.1 – Full PC reset Clean Windows 11 Pro reinstall Sign‑in with Microsoft personal account Windows Insider Program activated (Beta channel) 1.2 – Edge Beta installed automatically Edge Beta was installed automatically without warning. I suspected it might be the cause of the incomplete sync. 1.3 – Leaving the Insider Program I left Insider only to try restoring full Edge synchronization. 1.4 – New Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 reinstall Clean install Edge Stable installed Sync enabled Several days of waiting 1.5 – Result: sync still incomplete Even on Edge Stable, historical data never returns. 2) Symptoms 2.1 – Missing data No previous tab groups restored Incomplete history “Other devices” sessions missing Passwords visible in settings but not rehydrated No data from my previous Windows 11 PC 2.2 – Sync modules stuck In edge://sync-internals: Saved Tab Group: frozen for days Passwords: “Running” but no data rehydrated Sessions: incomplete Typed URLs / History: partial 2.3 – Device Info = 5 The cloud still lists 5 devices, including my previous Windows 11 installation. This indicates that historical data should be available. 2.4 – Last Synced active Sync is active, but missing data is never returned. 3) Technical diagnosis Everything points to a “consistent but incomplete” cloud profile state: Client sync works Server reports sync as healthy Historical data is never rehydrated Critical modules remain stuck Issue reproduces across multiple devices (Win10, Win11) This suggests a server‑side Edge Sync profile corruption, or a metadata divergence after: Insider → Stable channel change Windows reinstall Local profile deletion Edge Beta auto‑installation Microsoft account reconnection 4) Key question: Is Edge Beta limited in synchronization? I would like an official clarification: → Does Edge Beta restrict any sync modules? → Are Saved Tab Group, Sessions, or Passwords limited in Edge Beta? → Are there backend differences between Edge Stable and Edge Beta? If Edge Beta is not the cause, I will gladly re‑enable my Insider profile. I left Insider only to attempt restoring full sync. 5) Request I kindly request: → A backend analysis of my Edge Sync profile, to check: metadata integrity module states device list consistency possible corruption ability to rehydrate historical data I can provide: sync‑internals screenshots logs additional details multi‑device testing Thank you very much for your help. B - VERSION FRANÇAISE Problème critique de synchronisation Edge après réinstallation Windows 11 Pro – réhydratation incomplète, Device Info = 5, modules bloqués Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème majeur avec la synchronisation Microsoft Edge, apparu après une réinitialisation complète de mon PC Windows 11 Pro. Malgré plusieurs réinstallations, plusieurs jours d’attente, et toutes les procédures locales possibles, la synchronisation reste incomplète, et mes données antérieures ne sont jamais réhydratées. Je détaille ci‑dessous l’ensemble du contexte, les étapes, les symptômes, les observations techniques et les questions. 1) Contexte chronologique complet 1.1 – Réinitialisation complète du PC Réinstallation Windows 11 Pro “vierge” Connexion au compte Microsoft personnel Activation du programme Windows Insider (canal Bêta) 1.2 – Edge Bêta installé automatiquement Sans avertissement ni information, Edge Bêta a été installé automatiquement sur mon système Insider. Pensant que Edge Bêta pouvait être la cause d’une synchronisation incomplète, j’ai tenté de revenir à Edge Stable. 1.3 – Sortie du programme Insider J’ai quitté le programme Insider uniquement pour tenter de retrouver une synchronisation Edge stable et complète. 1.4 – Nouvelle réinstallation Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 Installation propre Edge Stable installé automatiquement Synchronisation activée Plusieurs jours d’attente pour réhydratation 1.5 – Résultat : synchronisation toujours incomplète Même après retour à Edge Stable, les données antérieures ne reviennent pas. 2) Symptômes observés 2.1 – Données manquantes Aucun groupe d’onglets antérieur n’est restauré Historique incomplet Sessions “Autres appareils” très partielles Mots de passe visibles dans les paramètres mais non réhydratés dans l’interface Données provenant de mon ancien PC Windows 11 absentes 2.2 – Modules Edge Sync bloqués Dans edge://sync-internals : Saved Tab Group : valeur figée depuis plusieurs jours Passwords : module “Running” mais aucune donnée réhydratée Sessions : incomplètes Typed URLs / History : partiels 2.3 – Device Info = 5 Le cloud conserve encore les identifiants de 5 appareils : PC Windows 10 Smartphone PC Windows 11 actuel PC Windows 11 avant réinstallation PC Windows 11 Insider (Edge Bêta) Cela prouve que les données de l’ancien appareil devraient être disponibles, mais ne sont pas renvoyées au client. 2.4 – Last Synced actif La synchronisation est active, mais ne renvoie pas les données manquantes. 3) Diagnostic technique Tout indique un état “cohérent mais incomplet” du profil cloud Edge : Le client synchronise correctement Le serveur considère la synchronisation comme valide Mais les données historiques ne sont jamais renvoyées Les modules critiques (Saved Tab Group, Passwords, Sessions) restent bloqués Le problème est identique sur plusieurs appareils (Win10, Win11) Cela suggère une corruption du profil Edge Sync côté serveur, ou une divergence entre métadonnées locales et cloud après : changement de canal (Insider → Stable) réinstallation Windows suppression du profil local Edge Bêta imposé réactivation du compte Microsoft 4) Question cruciale : Edge Bêta est‑il bridé dans la synchronisation ? Je souhaite obtenir une réponse officielle : → Edge Bêta limite‑t‑il certaines fonctions de synchronisation ? → Certains modules (Saved Tab Group, Sessions, Passwords) sont‑ils restreints dans Edge Bêta ? → Existe‑t‑il des différences de backend entre Edge Stable et Edge Bêta ? Si Edge Bêta n’est pas en cause, je serai heureux de réactiver mon profil Insider. J’ai quitté Insider uniquement dans l’espoir de retrouver une synchronisation complète. 5) Demande Je sollicite : → Une analyse backend de mon profil de synchronisation Edge pour vérifier : l’intégrité des métadonnées l’état des modules la cohérence des appareils la présence ou non d’une corruption la possibilité de réhydrater les données historiques Je suis prêt à fournir : captures edge://sync-internals journaux détails supplémentaires tests sur plusieurs appareils Merci d’avance pour votre aide.Add .HEIF support to the Edge browser
What does it do? Like JPEG, HEIF is a standard for lossy digital image compression. It’s a technology for maintaining some quality while keeping file sizes small; compared to a lossless technology like TIFF, which employs little to no compression but file sizes are very large. HEIF maintains the image quality of JPEG but at up to half the size, or offers better quality at the same size. It achieves this by comparing all the data of an image and only saving the areas that are different, instead of every piece of information (it’s more technical than that). HEIF also supports animation, and is capable of storing more information than an animated GIF at a small fraction of the size. it will be helpful if Edge supported this format so websites will be able to use this new format to display still and animated pictures more efficiently. I sent this feature request using feedback button on Edge browser. if you also want this feature, please do the same.
UI overflow in extension permission dialog on Linux (Gnome)
When installing an extension, the permission dialog renders incorrectly and overflows its container. The dialog content appears clipped and does not scale properly within the window. This affects usability because parts of the UI (text/buttons) may be partially hidden depending on window size and display scaling. MS Edge version: Version 149.0.3993.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) To reproduce: Open Microsoft Edge on any Linux distro using Gnome Navigate to the extension store Attempt to install an extension (e.g. AdGuard AdBlocker) Observe the permission popup dialog
