Smart 💡 Idea: use Automatic Profile Switching in Edge to create a Container like experience
The description for containers or multi-containers in Firefox is this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers Multi-Account Containers is a Firefox add-on that lets you separate your work, shopping or personal browsing without having to clear your history, log in and out, or use multiple browsers. It's an improved version of the Containers feature built into Firefox Nightly and the completed Firefox Containers Test Pilot experiment. What are Containers? Container tabs are like normal tabs except that the sites you visit will have access to a separate slice of the browser's storage. This means your site preferences, logged in sessions, and advertising tracking data won't carry over to the new container. Likewise, any browsing you do within the new container will not affect your logged in sessions, or tracking data of your other containers. Back to the Microsoft, in Edge browser, we have profiles, we can create multiple profiles and give them custom names we can create offline profiles or we can connect those profiles to online Microsoft accounts (free or work accounts) Edge also has other features (in Canary and Dev channels at the moment of writing this) Automatic profile switching Multiple profile preferences the description text says: Automatic profile switching feature detects links being opened in incorrect Microsoft account profiles and guides users to correct work, school or personal profile by showing a prompt that lets user switch to correct profile. So, now consider all that's been said above, there is an opportunity here. Microsoft Edge already has the base and fundamental features to have a container experience, the only things left to be done are some tweaking. How? Container/multi-container in Firefox is basically an add-on. I've been testing Firefox nightly in the past few months as my default browser and used containers extensively, I've also been using Edge browser and multiple profiles and I'm 100% sure this can happen. Microsoft (i.e Edge browser team) kindly need to improve the Automatic profile switching. so what I mean is, this feature that can already detect links and switch/open them in a different/correct profile, now it needs to Also be able to switch/open links that the user manually specifies. Edge team need to simplify the profiles that are going to be used for container. the profiles used for containers need to share the same installed extensions, favorites, history etc but when it comes to cookies, site cache etc they should be isolated. So for Example, I want all of the links coming from Facebook.com domain to be opened in a profile that's named "Facebook". I want all of the links coming from Twitter.com domain to be opened in a profile called "Twitter" and so on. this is Exactly how multi-container in Firefox works, users specifies a list of addresses and websites and they are automatically opened in their own container, separate from the other containers and the main browsing session, but still in the same window. each container is opened as a tab, next to other tabs, Not in a separate window. so one of the tweaks that I mentioned that need to happen is that Edge should let us open links from different profiles in the same window. currently it can't and each profile is opened in a separate window. so once Edge is able to open Tabs belonging to different profiles in the same window (next to other tabs), those tabs can be colored and marked with a feature that is already available in Edge, called "Tab Groups", the job of which is to put different tabs together and give them a specific color and name. in the screenshot above, I'm showing the end goal and what I hope to happen. so the group "Facebook" with the Cyan color means those tabs belong to a Different profile in Edge that is called "Facebook, but are in the same Edge window next to other tabs that belong to other profiles. I really believe this is totally possible and achievable. let me know what you think and if there is something that can improve this in case I missed it, please comment down below. thank you Deleted MissyQ please review and let the team know? 🙏A Bing! 'WHOLE recipe calorie counter' IDEA
So! I use the Bing search for MANY things. In particular, one is for converting measurements (in. to cm.; cups to oz.; etc.). I have even found (thanks in part to Bing's- believe it or not- "This or That") a 'calorie counter' for INDIVIDUAL ingredients. Because of this, a thought dawned on me on how we could take 'this' idea a step further... what if there were a way to find the TOTAL calorie intake for recipes that we add to the/ a queue? For example: I use an (unknown weight of) onion, a pinch of salt, just enough vinegar to cover half the onions, and 1.5 Tbs of sugar to make pickled onions. Instead of looking up EACH ingredient on its own, would there/ is there a way to add these items into a calculator so that it becomes easier to know the caloric count?Required, but missing features for Theme installation/management in Edge
#1 Create an Internal Edge page for themes, like this: edge://themes/ #2 Add a button with the title "Themes" to the ellipsis menu, possibly below "Extensions" button #3 in edge://themes/ create a section to see our installed themes, so we can view them, activate any of the installed themes and delete any of the installed themes. also show where the theme originates from (i.e which webstore it was installed from or in case of manual install using .CRX file, show the Theme ID only). something like this which is from Firefox #4 this is a related bug: so in after clicking "Remove" in here: the theme doesn't seem to be uninstalled, that button only deactivates the theme. because after removing the theme and going to the theme's page on Chrome web store, I see this: when I click on "Enable this Item", the theme activates again without redownload. this is another reason why suggestions #1 to #3 are important. The same problem happens when using Themes on Microsoft Edge Addons Store As you can see the Edge addons store says the Theme is "Disabled" and Not "removed". so there must be some sort of hidden feature for this already in place, only the UI elements are missing to manage it.
Wish: Add 'Customer Name' to Azure Portal Views as a Column (or 'Group By') Option
I work for a CSP and use Azure Lighthouse to manage many customer environments. All of the Azure portal views are focused on the concept of the subscription being the top level management object in Azure (I'm excluding Management Groups for policy management). I'm sure this works well for single organisations that use Azure portal, but for CSPs we need to be able to order/arrange/group lists based on customer name first and then by subscription. In other words, our administration view has to start one level above subscription compared with most organisations. I know you can change the directory filter if you want to work on a single customer's environment and limit the view to their resources, but most often we are managing at scale and operating on multiple customer estates at once and as such we need lists to be built around the customer as the topmost object rather than the subscription. When we are confronted with a long list of subscriptions (some of which being unhelpfully named 'Subscription 1' or 'Azure' by customers who have not followed CAF...) it is impossible to determine which customer that sub relates to without following each and every subscription link. It's onerous. Not all customers allow us to impress a subscription naming convention on their Azure environment (we might be contracted to only support a subset of their subscriptions and they are unwilling to change them). An example would be the Virtual Machines list. Microsoft offers no fewer than 33 'Group By' attribute options, none of which is 'Customer'. Some views allow you to add a column and Group By tag, but a surprisingly small number of views support column manipulation. I'm hoping someone from the MSFT PG sees this and hears my plea: please keep CSPs in mind when designing Azure Portal and allow us to add a column for 'Customer Name' throughout, it would be of huge benefit to us!
