I am Considering Switching from Vivaldi

I work for a Microsoft shop, and over the past year have ended up using Edge more than I expected to, especially for PWAs. Outlook and Gmail PWA are just more reliable on Edge on my Windows 11 install. I'm at a point where it seems silly to have multiple browsers.

I really like having Vivaldi's "Reading List" function, especially available via the context menu. So if I'm on a page, I can just right-click and add it to the "Reading List." It seems that this is a deprecated feature on Edge. Is there a way to emulate this? Extension?

Vivaldi has a great default Speed Dial function, which I also rely on. There are clearly many Speed dial extensions out there. If you are a Vivaldi convert, which Speed Dial extension do you use?

Text input with CSS font size changes font size of field when choosing from historical selection list

After a recent update, I noticed this issue on one of my own websites that sets a larger than default font size using CSS for an input field. I'm not sure how long it has been happening, but I only just noticed it this week (although I use this particular form almost daily and hadn't noticed this issue before so I believe it's fairly new). I then confirmed that it happens elsewhere by testing on another website that is not my own. Here is the random site where I confirmed the issue also occurs elsewhere:

https://www.tagindex.net/css/form/font_size.html

The linked video below shows the issue occurring. If you type into the text input field, the characters appear at the larger font size that is set in the CSS. Assuming you have enabled the setting in Edge to "save and fill basic info", if you start typing something into the field that you had submitted previously, Edge will drop down its own selection list below the field to allow you to choose an item from the list.

However, if you are typing something that doesn't start with letters used on previous form submissions, the selection list does not appear.

So far, this is all normal behavior and how it has always worked with regard to displaying the historical selection list while typing in a text input field.

Except now I have noticed that when the dropdown list appears (because you started typing something you submitted previously in this field), the input field box changes size back to the default font size as you type. It also changes the font size of the characters in the input field briefly -- as long as you continue to match one of the selections. Once you start typing something that no longer matches any selections, the dropdown selection list goes away and the input field and font remain at the size defined in the CSS for the field.

This video shows the issue in action on the site linked above:

AdBlocker for Edge Against YouTube 🤔

Here is a solution Microsoft, people are complaining about Edge becoming too much bloat. I personally don't see that as the case, just many options for working with bookmarks, tabs and the like.

Although there is one suggestion; make an Ad Blocker for YouTube videos. As it appears your opposite, has decided that we must watch ads or pay money; is it the fall of YouTube. That is besides the point, just an extension like this would be great.

Edge Mobile Android v116 no longer has "Copy Link" to get URL

Dear Microsoft

Why was the "Copy Link" option removed from the share feature in Edge v116?

Could you please put it back. It now takes 3 extra taps to copy the URL of the current page.

Also not helpful that the "Find on page" option is now on the 2nd screen of the hamburger menu. I certainly use that a lot more than "View desktop site".

Collections is M.I.A.

Not that I use it that much, but I noticed this morning "Collections' is missing. It appears ok on my Pixel 7Pro Edge, but not on my laptop, which is running the latest version: 116.0.1938.69 (Official build) (64-bit)

Edge randomly deleting cookies...

For the second time this week Edge decided to delete cookies on it's own forcing me to login again EVERYWHERE.

Is this a known bug?

unlink personal profile from work profile

I'm using latest Edge 116 on my work PC (the new Edge for Business release with the profile icon in the top left).

My work profile is signed in, and I have also linked my personal account.

Now I want to unlink my personal profile but I cannot find a way to do it.

I've also tried signing out from work profile, and signing in again, but personal profile is still linked.

does someone know to unlink a profile?

Thanks.

Anyone else not being able to search by image?

Ever since yesterday, this function doesn't work at all. When I right click and image and either search by Google or search the web, it sends me to a Google page saying "Search by image is unavailable. Please try again in a few hours."

Tried with Chrome, and it seems to work there. Have no clue what's happening, and nobody has reported it (I tried Google-ing the issue, literally nothing comes up)

Even with clearing the cookies and cache, and being logged out of my Google account, the issue is there

I'm having trouble creating browser extensions

Hello! I was trying to create my first browser extensions for Microsoft Edge, and I can't get the extension to interact with the page's DOM, not even with the browser console. For example, if I place the code:

<button onclick="console.log('It works')">Does it work?</button>

in the popup.html file, the button doesn't work. If I write something like:

document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'red'

in the "onclick", it doesn't work either. I know I need to grant permissions to the extension in the manifest.json file. In this file, I added:

"permissions": [ "activeTab", "storage" ]

Does anyone know what else I need to do to make it work? Thank you very much in advance!

Automatic HTTPS Default Edge

Hi all,

With the HttpsOnlyMode for Chrome and AutomaticHttpsDefault for Edge, Chrome has a way to add a whitelist so it doesnt do that for certain websites? I cant seem to find a way to do that for Edge?

Does anyone have a URL for the documentation for this or have any advice?

I have internal websites without https certificates, id like to keep this on for my folks for external websites but allow the internal ones.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Why do YouTube videos have rounded corners now?

At first I thought YouTube changed the site because of focus testing BS. You know, everything has to be "sleek" and "easy on the eyes". But then I saw that the videos are still square in Google Chrome.

Is this a change that YouTube has made that just isn't compatible with other browsers yet? Or is Edge to blame for the way it displays videos? Is there any way to reverse this, and have videos appear as they should?

Fat Title Bar?

Is it just me, or are the title bar and favorites bar huge?
Is this a bug, or is it a new feature in the latest Edge Beta release (117.0.2045.12)

Errors / Bug in Edge?

So I have been using Edge as my primary browser for a while and have been generally happy.

However this morning in the middle of working, all searches (both in the address bar and from the home screen) result in this page

https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=41&q=lorum+ipsum&cvid=af94dbe6986044bca8e8778634990448&aqs=edge.0.69i59.2979j0j1&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=U531

This happens regardless of the search term and across all of my profiles.

This does not happen with Chrome, so I think that excludes local problems - plus it had been working perfectly up to now with no changes to anything else.

Edge version: Version 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit)

Cannot Move Or Reorder Tabs

Why would they make it harder to open most visited sites? Needs two clicks now compared to earlier one! (iOS)

How to add friction to browsing? Learn from edge!

Homepage used to display most visited sites. One click takes me to the website. Now it is collapsed into one button. Now I have to Click to open -> click to visit.

Even worse placing cursor on address bar no longer displays frequently visited websites so every time I have to type the first few letters to visit a site. Earlier it used to list the most visited sites and I can click it directly without typing anything.

Can 2 separate MS Edge Collections Be Merged Together

Hello,

I recently discovered that I some how created a duplicate MS Edge Collection (not a tab group, an actual Collection). I would like to merge the two groups into one single group because I also have Edge installed on my iPad Pro and it gets confusing working with two devices that have a duplicate group for the same purpose.

I found a post on this group (don't know how old it was/when it was originally posted) that said I should be able to shift + left click the entries in the collection and then right click on the tab to be merged and select an option called "merge" to move it over. I tried this and there is no option that says merge and when you right click the only options are "add to new group" (a group is not a collection), "Remove from group" and for the option "Move tab to" the secondary flyout options are "new window" or "Submit to edge".

Is there any method I am missing?

Here's a screenshot of the Edge Options Menu:
