Problem with PWA icons on Start menu on Edge dev
When installing a website, such as Instagram, as PWA in Edge dev (Version 88.0.685.3), the Instagram icon appears in the apps list of Start menu, at the top under "recently added" list (not pinned yet). when you drag & drop it on the Start menu to Pin it, it will have a small centered icon. but if you go toedge://apps/ and Pin Instagram's icon from there then Instagram's icon will be in normal big size in the Start menu Left side is big and normal, right side is very small pea-sized icon created by drag & drop. Instagram is one of the websites used as example, the same thing happens to Twitter, YouTube, Bing etc (tried all of them). see if you can reproduce it and send feedback through browser (preferably with "recreate my problem") Windows 10 20H2 latest versionNew Web Widget behavior: Auto Hide when Pinned to the sides of the screen, (Left/Right)
Microsoft EdgeVersion 91.0.836.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) if you don't have it yet, it's because of CFR so with this new behavior, you can move your mouse/finger to the left/right edge of the screen to reveal Web Widget. of course, there are other ways to access it too. So what do you think about this?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 herehttps://link.ws/tedgbookbarbut 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 morehere 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.SS21: Extension Box Menu: search, pin, size and chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu topic
Suggestion (SS): 21 Classification: EXTENSION PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 6-8 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) About this topic i already reported you some points before: PS: for (+) and * see comment at the end. box in 10-12x Y size less space between extensions (this even inside the box, so you can reach a 10-12x 20 box like all other chromium browsers) avoid to follow opera, chrome canary trend (again about chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu). If some devs have no idea of what i'm talking, search it on google, since they express that 3. links should not be posted anymore, or check chromium discussion directly. If you have some idea to implement that, then remember to allow user to choose, so it depends if they want to use it or not. Don't force pro user to follow a downgrade feature (+). Users should always have the ability to choose how to configure different settings. If needed they activate such setting, otherwise they keep it disabled. Now about the box, would be cool if you can implement a search on the top, this would more helpful to search inside 200-400 extensions, compared to what google did with the 1x400 list. There was no search function at all last time too. Now i don't know, because i skip new version of canary and opera at all. Obviously user with 20 extensions don't use such feature at all, they see all extensions on the toolbar. This means that the extension box should be identical to old chrome, brave, etc. with an additional search box. if you want to allow to pin 10-12 extension on the top*, would be useful too. this means these 10-12 extension are always on top, no matter the size of the window, display or screen resolution. If no enough space is available on the toolbar, you put the other extensions just under the first pinned row (like you do now). But i think search function is much more important. *this is a bit the same like firefox allow us to do, but we all know firefox extension manager works totally in a different way. (+) especially because a lot of chrome extension are able to do the same job much better, so this is just a bad copy of available extensions. PS: i know you can still order all extensions, even those in the box, but it's a painful process, and still doesn't resolve the problem with a lot of extensions. I think even with just 100 extensions (like with a lot of my accounts) it would help us to quick open extension without need to use shortcuts. I need to say that reorder extensions inside the box is still easier compared to few other browser, so thanks for that edge.[Suggesion] Add an option to make websites installd as apps to be always on top, like Windows apps
Add the option to somewhere like this As to Why I want this feature and reasons behind it, there are a couple: I want to install YouTube website as an app, make it to be on top of all windows so it won't be behind the program that I use. for example I want to code in Visual Studio and watch a YouTube video to learn something and apply it directly. I want to have Bing or Google search installed as an app in Edge, launch the app, resize the window to have a rectangle shape, put it on the left side to have a side bar which always stays on top. now I can always quickly search for anything I want in that Edge app, no matter what program I use, because it stays on top.*** there are lots of other examples, where websites host a specific service and when we add it in Edge as an app, we will be able to use it just like a real Windows app and have it accessible on all programs if we pin it to be always on top. ***You could say that I could use Windows 10 search on the taskbar but It's not the same. because when you click on something, a picture, video etc, that is a link, the search app in Windows 10 will open it in a full browser window. what i would want is to view that image, watch that YouTube video, right from my Windows 10 taskbar, without going to a full browser window.
