optional suggestion: new menu bar app for mac
i wish i could launch one of my edge profile (no matter from which edge) directly in the menu bar. so you create a profile launcher.app and then i can search a profile installed on my 4 browser, without need to launch a browser. at the moment we can do similar things once the browser is launched using the dock icon or using the sync icon or using the menu bar option inside edge. but there is still the limit that we can do it for one browser. we cannot search profiles installed on all 4 browser. plus every time you launch the browser, you open the last used profile. so we first need to close and then switch (which requires time). profile switching is slower in edge compared to google. now with this new app you would simply launch a profile inside an edge app, without launching the previous profile.
Microsoft Edge Profile Deleted
Hi, I wonder if someone could help me with a Microsoft Edge issue. Unfortunately, the profile that I set up for Microsoft Edge on my Mac was deleted and has now removed all of my saved history, bookmarks, passwords, etc. This profile was not synced to a Microsoft account and I need to restore the data somehow. Please could someone help me with this issue so that I can retrieve the deleted profile. Many Thanks.
How to Export/Access Synced Browser Data
Does anyone know how to access the synced data for an Edge profile? I've been trying to find the Microsoft equivalent of Google'shttps://myactivity.google.comand/orhttps://takeout.google.comwhich are tools that you search/export all your data synced to a Google account, including the data stored in Chrome like history/bookmarks/etc. Export options for Chrome browser data synced to a Google account With Edge browser, you can login with a Microsoft account which enables syncing of data across devices, but I'm trying to find where I can access that data online. So far, I haven't found anything similar to these Google tools on Microsoft's account management sitehttps://account.microsoft.comand although I've heard of Microsoft Graph as a way of accessing MS user data, I can't find anything there related to Edge browser data. Any advice? Cross-posted: https://reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/uy9m3d/how_to_exportaccess_synced_browser_dataPlease Add Profile Customisation in Settings (Suggestion)
In Chromium based browser, there have a separated settings page for Customise Profile (Google Chrome: chrome://settings/manageProfile). However, in Microsoft Edge does not have this settings page. In Customise Profile, user can customise the profile name, profile picture and also create a desktop shortcut to access directly to a specific profile. Although user can create desktop shortcut by using command line, but it is difficult for some users and sometime will cause error (Users can find shortcut at %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\ImplicitAppShortcut). Then if users access a profile, users need to choose profile in Profile at left of 3-dot (More options). Below pictures show the Customise Profile Settings Page.New feature: Move tabs between different profile windows
This flag has been in Edge canary for some time but it started working since today's update, EdgeVersion 89.0.711.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) you need to enable this flag: edge://flags/#edge-move-tabs-to-profile-window restart browser and when you right-click on a tab, you will have that option to move tab to a different profile window. of course first you have to have at least a 2nd profile in Edge for this to work. p.s the other profile doesn't need to be open or running. I'm hoping in future we will be able to use drag and drop to move tabs between 2 open Edge profile windows.Edge Windows Search Integration - possible Windows 10 Timeline integration?
Microsoft EdgeVersion 91.0.831.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) it's a Controlled Feature Rollout Share browsing data with other Windows features When turned on, Microsoft Edge will connect local browsing data from this profile with the rest of Windows. Turning this feature on will help you find information from your history, favorites, top sites and recent tabs more easily using features such as Windows search box. If you turn off this feature Microsoft Edge will remove the data shared with Windows on the device and stop sharing any new browsing data from this profile.Learn more I'm on the latest Windows 10 insider Dev build and latest Edge insider canary, so far I couldn't see any sign of this feature working, it's very new, just added to Edge canary. so eager to find out more about this. I personally would love to see Edge history appear in Windows 10 timeline, just like Edge legacy's did. It's very interesting, I submitted a feedback for the exact same thing 2 months ago.SS46: Hey Edge - voice control
Suggestion (SS): 46 Classification: VOICE CONTROL PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 2-3 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) Bing already has some integration of voice control, Firefox too. Now i think it's time for Hey Edge function. Examples of tasks Hey Edge should be able to do: -Hey Edge, move tabs to the right to another window, hide it in macos, save PDF and add all links to bookmark folder IMPORT for all tabs in this new window; once done close the window. - Hey Edge, reload alltechcommunity.microsoft - Hey Edge, change to Bing as default - Hey Edge, mute all - Hey Edge, volume 50% - Hey Edge, go to minute 3.45 - Hey Edge, loop mode - Hey Edge, loop from x to y - Hey Edge, set download path to configuration 1 - Hey Edge, search this with %s1 %s2 ... at the same time - Hey Edge, open %s settings - Hey Edge, add this search to %s and use abbreviation <ed - Hey Edge, duplicate 5 tabs from this - Hey Edge, change my profile image now - Hey Edge, launch xxx (an extension) - Hey Edge, quit Edge in 10 minutes - Hey Edge, open random website from folder XXX - Hey Edge, disable all extensions for 5 seconds. - Hey Edge, random open my most visited youtube links - Hey Edge, write new instagram post (by opening a 3. app for posting) - Hey Edge, activate all disabled extensions. - Hey Edge, reopen last closed session - Hey Edge, reopen last 7 tabs - Hey Edge, move tab to first - Hey Edge, color tab to red - Hey Edge, go back to the source (example when you open webpage a then b ... to z, go back to a) - Hey Edge, pipmode - Hey Edge, go to next video - Hey Edge, save to collections (last used) - Hey Edge, close tabs to left - Hey Edge, merge windows - Hey Edge, quit - Hey Edge, open flags - Hey Edge, activate flag xx - Hey Edge, restart - Hey Edge, share this page to xxx - Hey Edge, new mail to xxx - Hey Edge, install xxx - Hey Edge, create new profile for account a@a.com - Hey Edge, delete this profile - Hey Edge, activate vpn now (once integrated) - Hey Edge, change background new tab pictures from onedrive folder AA to BB - Hey Edge, open all links inside folder XXX - Hey Edge, download all images that i click in the future, stop it once i say stop - Hey Edge, launch beta profile xxx - Hey Edge, show me when i visited this page in the past - Hey Edge, add this page to bookmarks (using recent folder) as shortcut <emis - Hey Edge open 6x incognito pages with url www.... - Hey Edge, ban all selected email from outlook - Hey Edge, start new chat support session - Hey Edge, new feedback - Hey Edge, share this file (in onedrive = this mean you copy directly the url) - Hey Edge, save all picture to onedrive - Hey Edge, open word - Hey Edge, find similar websites - Hey Edge, show me my IP - Hey Edge, export this image as png - Hey Edge, save this files to xxx and rename it as yyy - Hey Edge, open Missy Edge profile - Hey Edge, run workspace 4 now - Hey Edge, run highlight mode now (once integrated) - Hey Edge, save next selected texts to collections - Hey Edge, search hello in youtube as playlist - Hey Edge, disable notifications from all future visited pages - Hey Edge, activate flash always - Hey Edge, open all selected urls in edge dev profile 3 (if we use canary for example) - Hey Edge, copy all urls from tabs - Hey Edge, add selected tabs to my vertical favorite tabs (once integrated) - Hey Edge, open with profile 2 .... (once container is integrated) - Hey Edge, download all images from tabs - Hey Edge, create merge all tab groups and move to new window by hiding it in macos - Hey Edge, download all files in this website with torrent (once integrated) - Hey Edge, open in tabs selected links - Hey Edge, export bookmarks every 5 minutes to my mac - Hey Edge, reverse search this image - Hey Edge, show me social accounts of this person (from a video/photo) - Hey Edge, create new outlook alias b@.... - Hey Edge, change outlook recovery email to .... - Hey Edge, ban all social accounts for 4 hours - Hey Edge, add label xxx to this page (for history panel, once integrated) - Hey Edge export last 7 days of history to my desktop folder xxx - Hey Edge, activate kids mode - Hey Edge, create new rule for this email and use setting 1 (example forward to 3 emails ...) - etc. If we can run such multiple rules without Hey Edge would be cool too, so something in keyboard maestro style. Obviously first we need to support a better way to run such actions and similar actions without Hey Edge, but once this is done, different action can be implemented in Hey Edge too. Then it depends, sometimes is much faster to do manually instead of saying Hey Edge... (and maybe Hey Edge doesn't understand what we say too...., like Bing does) To be more faster instead of saying "Hey Edge, save pdf for all tabs to the right" or similar, we just say "Hey Edge, pdf right". The same for all other examples You can even integrate a smart Hey Edge, where i can combine my manual and Hey Edge actions. Example: i'm reading a pdf. at the same time i say "Hey Edge, pdf right once i say NOW". then i read pdf on tab 2, 3, 4, 5. Once done i say "NOW" and you export all pdf to the right (based on the tabs where i requested this rule). This means in the same time i can close and open new tabs, you do the action only once i say "NOW". Such "NOW" actions can be implemented in so many workflows and would be a great productivity boost.SS6 A new browser revolution for extreme productivity - crazy workflow boost
Suggestion (SS): 6Classification: WORKFLOW - PRODUCTIVITY PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 8-10 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) WARNING: this is not a suggestion for average user with normal workflows. Do you want to make a big difference compared to other browser? Do you want to make a browser for pro extreme user / business people / etc? Implement this feature and you will no 1, you even beat ghostbrowser, sessionbox workspaces, webcatalog, firefox or opera. here an example. you integrate a multi container in session box, firefox, webcatalog or ghostbrowser style, but you integrate a mix between edge and webcatalog too (or something like opera). what does this means? we can have multiple windows (or we can call it workspaces) and multiple tabs inside the same window (no need to see 100x edge windows etc.). if you want, you can use groups too, but these have huge limitations at the moment (if used only inside a normal edge). they would be useful in such workflow (especially if you integrate it in ghostbrowser style). do you use 30 tabs in 1 window and do you want to have 10 other workspace in the same panel (or maybe even 20) --> you will have 300+ tabs in totals. type of usage: 1) with multicontainer integration users can do everything; for example they can use multiple container inside the same workspace 1 (example "E" white in the picture) but even in other workspaces (you just use different accounts for each container in different workspaces) 2) use each workspace with 1 edge profile, this means if you have 10 left tabs (workspaces) you use 10 edge profiles. 3) a mix between 1-2 where you use the same edge profile on every workspaces and then you use only one account as multicontainer inside each workspace or even more complex with 9 workspace with same edge account and the last with a different account 4) use different groups in each workspaces 5) use a mix between 1-4 6) other (the limit is only in your ideas) what should workspaces offer? a different theme for each workspace, like if i install 10 different chrome extensions (new designed tab) or 10 different themes. same like what you see in the picture, where workspace 1 is white, 2 is black, (3 would be green, 4 in blue, 5....). a way to set open tabs x,y,z,w, at launch on workflow 1, without opening it on workflow 2-9 easy way to duplicate a workspace easy way to add a new workspace (for example i can just click on workspace 1 "add tabs to the right to a new workspace"). at the moment we miss such feature in normal edge too (both for left, right or other). this would be a bit similar like select x tabs, drag such tabs out by creating a windows and then click cmd m to create an union of both windows with tabs on the left. a way to import export workflows setting do we want to transfer a link from workspace 1 to 2? we just drag the link to 2.... do we want merge workspace 1 with 2? we drag w1 to w2 and you create a merged workspace (if needed even with a notification "are you sure"). ability to open history selection directly in a new workspace, same for bookmarks ability to pause loading tab for a workspace at all, but you still keep all tabs in the bar ability to add incognito inside a workspace. if i drag drop 30 links from apple notes to the icon +, below the last workspace, you create a new workspace with 30 tabs same like 11, when i do cmd c and then i do cmd v other the + ability to create premade workspace for microsoft products a way to use a workspace only for collections workspace store, where people can share it (if this is limited only for a specific configuration of open tabs) workspace only where we find panel like /setting /extension /download, etc. ability to add personal images to the workspace icon ... if this with multiple edge profiles is to complex, you can do it with 1 edge profile by adding all what i told you before. --------------- 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/chrome1and 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.
