question
15 TopicsWhat 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.14KViews2likes4CommentsWhat is the new prerenderer implementation for <link rel=prerender> instead of NoStatePrefetch ?
Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.726.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) this new flag: Prerender2 Enables the new prerenderer implementation for <link rel=prerender> instead of NoStatePrefetch. – Mac, Windows #enable-prerender2 I'm curious to know what the new prerenderer implementation is that replaces NoStatePrefetch? couldn't find any information about it in here https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/nostate-prefetch also, in the same link, it says "Fetch the first result in Google Search results" does prefetch/prerender in Edge Fetch the first result in Bing search results? johnjansen5.8KViews0likes2CommentsWhy all of these HTML5 features are turned off in the last few builds of Edge canary?

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.3.8KViews2likes12CommentsWhat 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.Solved3.5KViews3likes6CommentsDark Immersive Reader, Right-click menu, smaller Extension icons, PiP and various bug report
Hi, I'm using MS Edge Dev and here is my feedback. First of all I'd like a true Dark Mode in the Immersive Reader Mode, actually we only have Black and some fancy colors background. I'd like a dark grey background similar to the Edge UI or the OneNote Dark Mode on Windows. Second question: Is there a way to eliminate some choices in the right-click menu? There are too many of them created by extensions and I don`t need them to be displayed there. Third Problem: MS Edge Dev has much bigger extension icons and there is a lot more space between them when compared to Chrome. EDGE Chrome with many more extensions As you can see there is a really big difference. I know that I can hide them inside the menu, indeed I already have 15 there but there are a lot of them which I want to be shown. Fourth question: Is there a way to have tab preview similar to the old Edge when hovering over a tab? And some bug report: 1) Move tab to new window UI is broken when I right-click on a tab. Also, that menu is ridiculously big, I'd like a smaller one in width and height. Second bug: When I hover the mouse over a text box like the subject of this thread, this box with some info appears Third bug: The Italian translation of Picture in picture mode is "Immagine In Immagine" which is completely wrong. Leave it in English or use "Modalità fluttuante". Speaking about PiP I'd like a better one similar to the Opera Video Pop Out which has lots more control over the video than just pause it like in Edge.Solved3.3KViews0likes4CommentsQQ5: 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.2.2KViews1like2CommentsEdge Canary installs itself in 2 places

Mac, Windows #edge-smartscreen-nav-throttle The flag is in Edge Version 87.0.658.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) I want to know what is the current method of Edge protecting against potentially harmful browser navigations, if not using Microsoft Defender SmartScreen?
