Persistent issues with Read Aloud in Edge
I have Windows 11. Today I began having an issue wherein the Read Aloud feature built into Edge doesn't work. I was initially trying to use a similar function on Internet Archive, and noticed that while all the Microsoft voices seemed to be available in the onsite dropdown, the only voices that made any sound were David, Mark, and Zira---none of the "Online (Natural)" voices. I tried to use Read Aloud as a workaround, and found all the buttons greyed out completely. Mind you, everything worked fine yesterday, and I made no changes to my computer in the intervening time. I've opened up two support tickets, but neither live chat agent was able to resolve the issue. Here are the things I've tried with their help: trying the feature on different websites updating & restarting Edge resetting Edge settings to defaults updating & restarting computer switching wifi networks connecting to a hotspot using InPrivate mode using a new Edge profile (rule out interference from extensions) checking that English tts is downloaded in Time & language > Language & region turning Online speech recognition off and back on again resetting experimental features checking sound systems (they work, but just in case) doing a system reset (?) to 24 hours ago, which took about an hour and undid all the updates I just mentioned maybe something else I don't remember? The next thing I am going to try is give my computer a long nap. It's been a while, so maybe it just needs some shut eye. Otherwise, help????[Solved] How do I properly add a wildcard domain to Edge tracking prevention exception list?
Found the solution, which was there in front of my eyes all this time but I didn't pay enough attention. Edge shows the correct syntax [*.]example.com so entering [*.]live.com is acceptable and fixes the issue! lesson learned: always pay attention to the info on the screen.
Issue with the web capture tool
Hi, I have recently started having an issue with the Web Select and Web Capture tools. They used to work normally but the last several weeks to a month, whenever I use these tools, all the text is washed out/almost unreadable. As you can see some elements (like the logo in the corner) are still perfectly visible but the other parts of the page look washed out. This is not my computer as I can see everything perfectly on my screen until I try to take a screenshot via web capture or web select. Plz help me figure this out as I need to use this function for work. Thank you!What is the new prerenderer implementation for <link rel=prerender> instead of NoStatePrefetch ?
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? johnjansenWhy this policy is producing error? Configure new tab page URL
It's this Policy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#newtabpagelocation And based on the description, I've set it correctly on Edge 87 (the installed up-to-date policy files are also for Edge 87) But it isn't being applied and I see an error in Edge:policy why does it say the policy is blocked? what am I doing wrong?Need some help figuring out edge://sync-internals/
I'm looking for a documentation to explain things that are shown in edge://sync-internals/ I found some info on Chromium Github page but it wasn't enough, so is there a better documentation somewhere or can anyone just explain it here? I'm trying to understand: the difference between total and live entries the meaning of group type and why does it say non blocking where there is always 3 bookmarks left even when I have deleted all of the bookmarks/favorites in Edge. Thanks in advance
