Anyone using (new) Edge C (GA) & or testing the Edge Insider beta Channels, comments (bad AND good), tips, info to share, observations, suggestions/requests, issues/problems, curiosities, questions, you name it... The floor is yours...

Myself, I have run all available Insider Builds since April.  And, now, running Edge C GA, as well; swapped from HTML Jan. 15th.

I am/have been very impressed with the performance.  Been a bit fun adapting to some things/methods/locations/layouts/structure.  Some NTML features seem missing, BUT, heaps more stuff is coming very soon.  Some 'new' & different items are quite cool.  It has been interesting as an Insider.  And it will be interesting for people using & discovering THIS Edge.  It is, well, IMHO, will be THE outstanding browser.  I, strongly urge & encourage Folks to adopt it. Be prepared, though... it's very fast ��

Let's see what more detail & specifics y'all may have, will have to add here...

Anxious for your remarks, look forward to the input that can be share to everyone's benefit, of course.

The floor is yours...

Cheers,

Drew

    Hi _____,

    I'll go as far to suggest it is, also, superior to other browsers, besides Edge HTML.

    Yes, I have had Dark in the OS 'forever'.  It is more pleasant the bright white (I'm old, too, but, have never been a fan of harsh brightness.)  It's great to have consistency (in appearance), as well, across the OS including, the web pages.

    Quite expect Dark to not need its flag, soon due to its popularity & the amount to which, it has been requested.  I'm, also, a Bing Insider.  Dark for it has been implemented for Mobile and will start rolling out sometime in the near future.  For PCs et al, it's coming someday, too.

    A feature I feel is note-worthy is Strict Tracking Prevention.  And there is a good chance, once people have Collections they will end up liking & using that a lot.  But, at least, GA has Share... we went a while as Insiders without that.

    And one handy/helpful extension I do use is Scroll button(s). (Have tried various extensions, yet, actually, use VERY few )

    Great to see this thread catching some notice 👍👍

    Cheers,

    Drew

    I am enjoying using MS Edge Beta but the links on the welcome screen don't work anymore; but the picture changes and the feedback (do I "Like" or "Not Like") still works. I am thankful for anyone's how-to-fix or or technical advisement. Thank you.

    Hi Kim,

    Ignore that it may seem bizarre my asking for it, but, please, give me the URL for "the welcome screen" that you mention.  Thanks.  There's meaning to my madness 😉...

    Cheers,

    Drew

    Hi,

    When I turn my laptop on a welcome screen shows a photo that changes periodically (and frequently).

    In the upper right corner of the screen I can choose whether I like the photo (I think the correct term is graphic) and if I choose "I don't like", then I get a new photo. For example, this morning I chose I didn't like looking at Mars and the photo changed to Northern Lights.

    In the upper left corner of the screen is supposed to be a link that lets me explore "images" and in the middle of the screen is a link that lets me explore information...but neither of these links work since I upgraded (a few days or so ago) to MS Edge Beta. 

    If I don't select the links and click my mouse, then my a box asks me for my pin to sign into my laptop.

    I hope what I've described helps you understand what I am experiencing.

    Thank you!

    Kim

    Ok, since you are referring to the "Welcome" screen' on your computer, obviously, there's no URL 😁 Anyway, so you are saying 'link's from that screen no longer do what they did & tying that to something regarding Edge.

    But, there is, now, something you said that I must ask you to explain.... "upgraded (a few days or so ago) to MS Edge Beta" ... meaning you "upgraded" what to Edge beta. I cannot quite peg what that's saying.  Thanks.

    I will suggest the possible reason for those Welcome screen things not working is they work with the embedded browser & none of the beta Channels (Beta, Dev or Canary) are ever going to be that.  Same as Timeline does not work with or support the beta Channels. 

    Is Beta running as you  Default Browser?

    You know, the GA is available since Jan. 15th, HERE. With that you may not have the Welcome screen issues & Timeline would work with it, too.

    Cheers,

    Drew
