In recent Microsoft Edge versions, a built-in VideoOverlayToolbar appears automatically on top of web videos. It contains Picture-in-Picture, Video Enhancement, Video Summary, Video Translation buttons. Current limitations: 1. We can only disable the corresponding functions, but cannot hide these overlay buttons on video. 2. Legacy flag #edge-video-super-resolution is removed. 3. Launch parameter --disable-features=VideoOverlayToolbar no longer works on new Edge builds. Request: Add a unified switch in Edge Settings to let users completely hide this entire overlay toolbar, to avoid covering video content and improve viewing experience.24Views0likes0CommentsAdd Secure DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS) Support to Edge Mobile
Hello Edge Team, I’ve noticed that while Edge desktop already supports Secure DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS), the mobile version currently lacks this option. Competing browsers like Chrome and Brave allow users to configure Secure DNS directly on mobile, which provides: Improved privacy by preventing ISP-level DNS snooping Consistency across platforms so Edge users enjoy the same protections on desktop and mobile User choice to select trusted DNS providers (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, etc) Adding Secure DNS support in Edge mobile would strengthen Edge’s privacy posture and align it with modern browser standards. Could the team consider prioritizing this feature in upcoming Insider builds? I believe many users would welcome the option to configure Secure DNS directly within Edge mobile settings. Thank you for your continued work on making Edge a competitive and privacy‑friendly browser.77Views1like0CommentsMicrosoft Edge Tips Specific for Macs
For a while, the new version, "What is new?" tips, while useful and pithy (in a good way), offer Mac users shortcuts that won't work. For example, the one for https://microsoftedgetips.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/editor-picks/55?form=MT007K Copy content from the web easily with web select Web select helps you to copy formatted web content such as tables, headers, and images. Just right-click on your browser window and choose Web select, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X. Then select and drag the + cursor to highlight the content you want and choose Copy. Perhaps, the form could check to see if there is a Mac client and offer the Mac shortcut of Cmd + Shift + X. It could even suggest that the shortcut is different between operating systems.1.1KViews0likes0Comments
