Introducing Project Robin | New Feature
this one is a new flag you can enable: edge://flags/#edge-robin Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.852.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) I think, Project Robin is a way to show Windows Defender Application Guard windows as tabs, next to other regular tabs. because right now, when you open a new WDAG window, it has its own protected window, backed up by Windows Defender engine. this Project Robin might be a way to bring the 2 environments together in the same window. so far the feature doesn't seem to be fully implemented yet. when I try it, it takes me to https://dev.browse.trafficmanager.net/?header=0&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F&escape=newdomain&titlePrefix=0 and then nothing. it's exciting, waiting for future versions to see more changes.New feature in Microsoft Edge: TLS Post-Quantum Confidentiality
To get familiar with it, here are 2 articles Towards Post-Quantum Cryptography in TLS https://blog.cloudflare.com/towards-post-quantum-cryptography-in-tls/ Post-quantum confidentiality for TLS https://www.imperialviolet.org/2018/04/11/pqconftls.html this feature is added to Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.437.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) using this flag edge://flags/ TLS Post-Quantum Confidentiality This option enables a post-quantum (i.e. resistent to quantum computers) key exchange algorithm in TLS (CECPQ2). – Mac, Windows #post-quantum-cecpq2Edge Experimental Flags To Recommend
I like to try bleeding edge features and builds so I mostly use the Canary branch. I know it isn't recommended but I can just flip to another channel. I currently have the following flags enabled as recommended by a blog on the web: Experimental QUIC protocol Parallel downloading Enable lazy image loading Enable lazy frame loading Allow installation of external store themes My goal is to really try and push Edge further in terms of speed, I have no issues with the current speed but as I say, I like to try the bleeding 'edge'. I had enabled Future V8 VM features and Zero-copy rasterizer but I thought that made it slower. I am on a Macbook from 2014 haha. Does anyone have any recommendations?Microsoft Edge Kids! - Kids mode added to Edge - What an Amazing feature! (●'◡'●)

Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.726.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) this new flag: Prerender2 Enables the new prerenderer implementation for <link rel=prerender> instead of NoStatePrefetch. – Mac, Windows #enable-prerender2 I'm curious to know what the new prerenderer implementation is that replaces NoStatePrefetch? couldn't find any information about it in here https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/nostate-prefetch also, in the same link, it says "Fetch the first result in Google Search results" does prefetch/prerender in Edge Fetch the first result in Bing search results? johnjansenNew privacy oriented feature added to Edge 82 - Freeze User-Agent request header
New in Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.421.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Reason for doing it is more about privacy and stopping fingerprinting. edge://flags/ Freeze User-Agent request header Set the User-Agent request header to a static string that conforms to the current User-Agent string format but only reveals desktop vs Android and if the 'mobile' flag is set – Mac, Windows #freeze-user-agent to be more effective, also enable this flag: Reduce default 'referer' header granularity If a page hasn't set an explicit referrer policy, setting this flag will reduce the amount of information in the 'referer' header for cross-origin requests. – Mac, Windows #reduced-referrer-granularity More info: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5704553745874944 https://css-tricks.com/freezing-user-agent-strings/New Feature | Sharing pages via QR code now fully working in latest Edge Canary 84.0.493.0
The icon is also changed in Edge Canary Version 84.0.493.0 To get that on your address bar, first you have to be on the latest Edge canary and also enable this flag: Enable sharing page via QR Code Enables right-click UI to share the page's URL via a generated QR Code. – Mac, Windows #sharing-qr-code-generator in edge://flags/ I tested scanning the code via the new All-in-One Office app on Android and it works correctlySome parts of the Privacy Sandbox land on Edge Canary
This flag edge://flags/#use-first-party-set which was added today to Edge Version 89.0.749.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) it's one of many privacy-related features for Privacy Sandbox, the goal of which is to ultimately get rid of 3rd party cookies. Use First-Party Sets First-Party Sets are sets of registrable domains (or origins). The browser uses these sets to allow websites that have multiple domains to treat their related domains as if they were first-party domains. This enables less restricted cross-domain communication across all the domains in a First-Party Set. – Mac, Windows, Linux Enable domains to belong to the same first party Goal: Enable entities to declare that related domain names are owned by the same first party. Many organizations own sites across multiple domains. This can become a problem if restrictions are imposed on tracking user identity across sites that are seen as 'third-party' but actually belong to the same organization. First Party Sets aims to make the web's concept of first and third parties more closely aligned with the real world's by enabling multiple domains to declare themselves as belonging to the same first party. more info: Digging into the Privacy Sandbox (web.dev) privacycg/first-party-sets (github.com)SS33: smart pip mode - better tiktok integration (or other video social/websites) picture-in-picture
Suggestion (SS): 33 Classification: TIKTOK + PIP / picture-in-picture + audio control PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 4-6 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) EDIT: i just found this picture in picture https://link.ws/pipdiscussion1 discussion in the feed too. 1) i don't see this directly is annoying i need to activate it via flags 2) pip doesn't work, even if i activate it goal like 360 chrome (or even better, see 3) or https://link.ws/vivopepip with better video control (sugg.17.) and pip buttons (sugg.18.), but avoid to put it over the downloader... (like the picture) 3) smart player with zoomed features like this on the right 4) remember tiktok specific size 5) keep always on top over all mac apps (i haven't tested this with edge, because i don't see pip) 6) please go to next tiktok automatically 7) allow extension in pip mode, so i can download tiktok videos in pip mode with the overlay button PS: about 6) i already told to them inside my 50+ suggestions to tiktok too, but maybe edge is able to fix it too. i hope auto for both pip mode and normal web browsing. 😎add possibility to add multiple url inside a list of pip mode, so a sort of playlist pip mode. 9) maybe like 8 with collections or bookmarks folders, so you pip mode randomly url 10) add to bookmarks inside pip mode directly, especially if you implement 6) 11) same like 10 for collections 12) maybe a separate history for pipmode visited urls (if 6. is implemented) EDIT: sorry i can activate it via 1 ... there is no button over the video for pip (or below, near the video). if i do that, i see there is no mute option too. 13) we cannot change the size, we can only change position. yes pip is over all mac apps (i see it now after enabling with 1. ) 14) remember to add even the option "keep behind mac app too". so both option should be available. 15) loop mode support for other website here the max size possible 16) better audio control panel, where we see all tabs with audio active and we can choose where to keep audio on or off. for example if 300 tabs are opened, but 20 with audio, in this panel we see only the 20 tabs. 17,18) see above 19) ability to quick copy url link or share the video (in pip mode) 20) screenshot feature integrated in pip mode. 21) loop from x to y https://www.tiktok.com/@buketalican11.12.16/video/6682465643712744709 example from 0 to 0.22 in this video, by skipping the rest 22) continue to loop, even if i launch another website, in this case you have 2 audios, 1 with pip, 1 without. would be cool the loop function for normal browsing too (is possible via extension...) 23) remember the dual mode suggestion: pip and full mode at the same time https://link.ws/edgess25 about 24) it depends how you implement all that. if you do like 360chrome, where each video has separate pip then allow both option "deactivate audio in dock mode" or "keep audio in dock mode" (not available in 360). what i like is that i can pip my videos in the dock. so if you use a player, maybe a way to pip the player in the dock is cool too, with both option "audio on" "audio off". 25) if there is no idea for 23) then a way to switch from pip to full faster, and from full to pip too about 26) i know this get against tiktok policy, but maybe useful for other websites**. a download button. **at the end is not possible to download it at all, since it doesn't work. plus the fact that tiktok download is not directly a feature a browser need to support and extension can do it perfectly. so the point is to add it for other websites, that allow you to download videos without copyright problem... 27) spotify player should be different from video player. so we can have spotify and pip at the same time. 28) 2x click switch size for example with opera max size is then with a 2x click we go to so a small size, which is not related to the full size video - pip mode switch suggestion that i wrote before. in this case the max size could be 1/2 of display, full mode is 1/1 29) right click options would be cool to see suggestions or skip ads or stop auto suggestions with right click
