15 Topics[FIXED] Need someone from Edge team answer why Edge mobile is using Chromium version 77 ?
Edge on Android is now on the latest version, the same as Edge desktop, everything is new and up to date. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/new-edge-canary-mobile-version-available-now-updated-chromium/m-p/2275690 I'm really concerned about security patches and updates that latest Chromium gets (which is version 86 as of this moment) but Edge mobile (Android) is using Chromium 77 which is almost 1 year old! not only that, each Chromium version has more features compared to the previous one but Edge mobile is missing all of that. why is this happening? why Edge Android is not using up to date version of Chromium?1.2KViews4likes1CommentHow is Smart Copy able to capture both screenshot and meta data at the same time with only 1 copy?
I'm trying this on Edge Version 89.0.722.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) I use Smart Copy to capture a part of a web page, then I paste it into Notepad and I get meta data like texts. then without copying anything else to the clipboard, I open up Paint 3D and do another paste there, this time I get the picture of that part of the web page I captured using Smart Copy! how is this even possible? 1 copy task and 2 different outputs? when I use Smart Copy and then press Win + V to view the clipboard, I only see text, not picture, but after pressing Ctrl + V in Paint 3D i get the picture and after pressing Ctrl + V in Notepad I get text. I'm not complaining though, this is actually very brilliant and smart.1.6KViews3likes5CommentsWhat will happen with old Edge PDF features among others?
I have been checking the new Microsoft Edge since it was first made publicly available for everyone to test it out. I have been liking it so far, but now that it has been officially released I was wondering if these PDF viewer features: being able to highlight text, change drawing and highlight color, adding notes, changing the view, and table of contents were going to be transferred over to the new Edge. Also, what will happen to setting tabs aside and asking cortana within Edge about selected text.Solved3.5KViews3likes6CommentsWhat were the main reason(s) Microsoft chose Chromium over Firefox?
I just saw a post on my Twitter from EdgeDev and they said they contributed so much to the project. with hashtag #Opensource Open source is good but Chromium is not the only open source engine, There is Firefox, fully open source and it uses Gecko layout engine. it's been around way longer than Chromium, in fact it is one of the first engines that was ever created. So I'm both curious and really interested to know the logic and reason that why Microsoft chose Chromium instead of Firefox. hopefully we will see some official responses here too in addition to others 🙂Solved15KViews3likes27Comments[Solved] How do I properly add a wildcard domain to Edge tracking prevention exception list?
Found the solution, which was there in front of my eyes all this time but I didn't pay enough attention. Edge shows the correct syntax [*.]example.com so entering [*.]live.com is acceptable and fixes the issue! lesson learned: always pay attention to the info on the screen.14KViews2likes4CommentsWhy all of these HTML5 features are turned off in the last few builds of Edge canary?
Web Cryptography API Content Security Policy 1 Audio track selection Video track selection ObjectRTC API for WebRTC Enumerate devices Screen Capture Access the webcam Credential Management Source? I compared the current Edge canary Version 83.0.478.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) with the results of a previous version: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/very-impressive-edge-insider-canary-results-in-html5-test-plus/m-p/877787 Edge now scores 473 http://html5test.com/ I haven't disabled any flags, I'm using the same flags that I have always enabled, there are of course more flags enabled right now than there were before but nothing disabled by me. the score has been that low in the past 2 weeks, so you can say since the past 5-6 canary builds.3.8KViews2likes12CommentsWhen is Webview 2 based on Edge (Chromium) going to be finalized and what's the current status?
This article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webview2 was updated 7 months ago. at that time it was tagged (developer preview) but now Edge stable is released, so does it mean Webview2 is also finalized? Also, Will Webview 2 lay the groundwork for Windows SETS? I've heard rumors that Microsoft has been waiting to finish Webview2 and then roll out Windows SETS to insiders.1.2KViews2likes0CommentsQQ5: edge devs, what is the maximum bookmarks amount before you crash or create problems?
QUESTION (QQ): 5 you maybe should know about the 25-30k problem of icloud sync, the 30-40k problem of different chromium browsers when we want to import bookmarks, now the question is "devs, have you tested such things, do you know where your limits are?" Same for history, what is the amount of history before you create problems? i hope you avoid the 200-300k limit like apple. is huge annoying apple deletes history. you should be able to keep even 2mio of links.2.2KViews1like2Comments
