Intl.DateTimeFormat missing Welsh (cy / cy-GB) support
Hi! I'm a developer at a company who is currently working with the Welsh government and have come across an issue with Microsoft Edge. When using the Intl.DateTimeFormat JavaScript API in Microsoft Edge, there is no support for cy / cy-GB. Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf("cy-GB"); // Outputs [] Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf("cy"); // Outputs [] If a developer tries to do any date formatting with the locale set to cy or cy-GB, only English will be returned. Out of curiosity I tried this with and without the Windows language being set to Welsh / Cymraeg. The result was the same (no support). Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari have full support. Interestingly Google Chrome does not (perhaps shared issue / limitation of Chromium). Unfortunately this causes a bit of a significant challenge. Any website / web app developed for the Welsh government or related bodies is legally required to be available in Welsh. Due to the popularity of Microsoft Edge, particularly with governments and institutions, developers cannot reliably use the Intl based APIs. The only known workarounds are: To use a formatting library instead of Intl Avoids using the ECMAScript APIs designed to solve problems for developers Additional client side and developer maintenance costs To include very bulky polyfills Popular polyfill, locale and timezone information exceeds 2MB of data for the client to load per website / web app. Unsure if this a bug or locale which is yet to be supported. Adding support for Welsh would be a huge step forward and greatly appreciated by developers working with government bodies. Even better would be adding support for the same languages Windows supports!
--js-flags=--noexpose_wasm launch flag causes STATUS_BREAKPOINT
Version 135.0.3179.73 (Official build) (64-bit), Windows 11 Education, also occurs on Windows 10 Education and Windows 10 Pro, been testing this since probably version 129 of Edge. --js-flags=--noexpose_wasm as a launch flag causes STATUS_BREAKPOINT, this is regardless of default configuration and with or without extensions. WASM can be used to discover privileged information about a machine, and this seems to be working in the past according to some users online, but no longer does now. Please can someone advise?
PDF viewer does not work with JavaScript
Hi All of our corporate documents are managed in a document solution that generates PDF files from the documents with a specific header in the document stating when they have been requested etc. This header uses JavaScript build into the PDF which works just fine in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer (as it uses Acrobat Reader) etc. But sadly in Edge it only loads the top of the header on each page and displays an error saying: "TypeError: this.info.toSource is not a function". The rest of each page is missing (see screenshot below) This means that thousands of documents that cannot be viewed with the build-in PDF viewer in Edge, but we have to manually download the file and then open it in Adobe Reader.New significant CPU and Battery saving feature Added to Edge version 89.0.730.0
This feature is behind a flag, and just added to Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.730.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) you can enable it using this flag: edge://flags/#intensive-wake-up-throttling Throttle Javascript timers in background When enabled this feature causes Javascript timers in background tabs to be aggressively throttled and coalesced, running no more than once per minute after a page has been backgrounded for 5 minutes or more.This is a web standards compliant feature, but it may break functionality on some websites by causing certain actions to be delayed by up to a minute. However, it results in significant CPU and battery savings when enabled. – Mac, Windows #intensive-wake-up-throttling more info Technical document this is an additional feature to the optimizations that Edge already has, or features such as sleeping tabs.SS37: scrollable bookmarks bar
Suggestion (SS): 37 Classification: bookmarks bar PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 5 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) I already told you different suggestions about bookmarks bar for example here https://link.ws/tedgbookbar but even in other post too. I already told you about favicon extension bar in safari too. Now what i want is that the bar is able to do what favicons can. If i add 400 links, and each section contains a workflow (for example link 1-50 workflow 1, 50-75 to 2, etc...) i want to scroll such bookmarks, so that i can see workflows link directly. instead of seeing a-g in the bar and h-z hidden, you need to hide a-g (left), show me h-o and hide p-z (inside >> to the right). i still wish i can add custom color to folders in the bar; replace javascript icons with a text (example P for pocket) or an icon (pocket), etc. see more here https://link.ws/tedgbookbar PS: pin javascript links! they are already on the left. so if i visit workflow 2, i want to see my 4-8 javascript on the left, not that you hide it. so we need a feature "pin urls" too, but i already told you about that in other post too (especially pin to the right). your bookmarks bar should work a bit like my touchbar. i have pinned things on the left and right, and i scroll things in the middle.SS5: bookmarks bar + other bookmarks + javascript + favicons
Suggestion (SS): 5 Classification: BOOKMARKS BAR PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 3-4 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) New suggestions: 1) reduce space between url PRIORITY 9 2) at the moment there is PRIORITY 6-7 if the goal is to have only an icon we need to remove the name, even for javascript. would be better an option keep name but hide name in the bar (if you don't add the auto hide like suggested below). in such way i can understand what javascript is. otherwise i see 8 java and i need to try / check first, only because i forgot the order. same for folder that i don't want to use full name. i use a F, but would be cool to see ferrari once i move the mouse over the folder. same problem if i have 10 google icon one after the other, or near. maybe in 5 months i first need to remember "ok the order was x y z". 3)keep pinned url on the left and on the right. PRIORITY 2-3 this mean ------ pinnedurls------- MOVABLE url ------pinned urls---- if now pinned on right include ciao and we add an new url on movable, generally you hide ciao. with this feature you keep ciao, you keep the new url, but you hide the last url in movable. (less important feature, but still useful) 4) Previous suggestions: this post will include some previous suggestion written in chrome https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130325&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID if we use a javascript bookmark, you should give us a way to customize the icon, and not showing always the same icon.... is really bad if we have 8 javascript 1 after the other (with identical design)... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130332&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add a way to add folder on bookmarks by showing us only a letter like G, and not icon + G... (in the style of pale moon) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130494&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add a way that if i click cmd to 3-4 url/folder, i can move the position of all 3-4. not that i need to open bookmarks or move 1 after the other. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130497&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID so you just need to add an icon. in such way we don't need to cmd a + delete title every time. this should happen even if we drag drop link to bookmarks. sometimes you put the link inside >>, because the name is to long. we always need to make bigger windows to remove the full name (or go to bookmarks panel) so that we can see the icon in the normal bookmarks bar (without using >> to see it). https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130505&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID if we are between url a and url b on the bookmarks bar, and now we right click add folder, you should create the folder after a and not at the end. otherwise i would go to the menu bar and choose create folder or use add to bookmarks to create a new folder... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130555&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID don't show us the whole name, but just the icon. in such way we can store 3-4 additional links in the bookmarks bar without need to use >> https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130546&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID add option to reload all favicons with 1 click plus https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1130464&hotlist_id=9983&sort=%20rank%20-ID which probably will be refused: if i have 5 javascript in the bookmarks, i wish i could add even extension like save to... near this 5 javascript (like i can do in firefox). in such way i just click 6-7 button one after the other without need to click 5 button, change position (go to extension toolbar) and click other 1-2 button .... this is the similar to the suggestion that i never sent to google "add extension to the left, like safari and firefox, in the extension bar" You can find this suggestion on Chromium too: CHECKLATER* --------------- All my other suggestions are here: https://link.ws/edgesuggestions Suggestions I liked from other user here: https://link.ws/othersuggestions Chromium suggestions list 1: https://link.ws/chrome1 and 2: https://link.ws/chrome2 From end 2020-10 all suggestions are written on both Edge and Chrome at the same time, suggestions before 2020-10 are available only on Chrome. *to avoid a ban from Google, I submit only limited post pro week.
