I have been using the dev version mainly and also have the standard as a fallback, I'm not sure you can get rid of it without that batch tool but anyways, the windows 11 mica effects are gone from the taskbar, its just all black.

I like to use edge, I think it's stable as it's built into the OS but it has the best support for PWAs that I'm aware of. It's especially useful for things like youtube, it treats it like an app and allows you to have tabs in any PWA which is much better than how other browsers handle it with separate windows.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm considering going back to chrome just for the gemini integration, which reminds me of the other bad thing - copilot. What the fuck happened? The UI completely changed, it's one voice and I get about 4 vocal interactions with it per day. It's brown...I can't imagine a free version being so limited, so that's why I'm thinking it might be a bug or something.

I'm using a surface pro 11 with a copilot key dedicated on my egregiously expensive snap on keyboard. I know it wasn't a guarantee that I'd be getting unlimited copilot use but that was one of the selling points of the device and there was no mention of subscription, I think that happened after they merged EVERYTHING into 365.

So yeah, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this bullshit or is everyone actually paying to use 365? I just use web version of word in outlook and I'm happy with that but they're probably gonna take that away too.

Makes me think that they really put too much into openai to a degree that actually put a dent in their infinite money pool, because they are really treating the users like shit in a myriad of ways.

just wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience?

After a lot of pain I found that if you go to settings -> system and performance -> "enhance videos" set to OFF that fixed all stuttering issues I've been having for months. Hope this helps someone else.

Edit: I want to also note that this improved performance all around on edge, not just watching youtube videos. odd.

I just got logged out of every site.
All my settings have also been reset.
I have to 'add a search engine' and find some search algorithm with a % etc pure bull, sh, it.
Of course, not the first time that an update does that to me.

Plus that the changes that only make it worse.
I hate copilot, keep it away from my face. Why can I not just access my history with a shortcut, instead of some dropdown sh, it?

I hate these updates so much.
I editted the register, disabled things on Services, renamed the things on update folder, changed permission and inheritance on the update folder etc etc.
How can this cr, ap still update itself??????

I wish all the worse for however decides these updates and forced changes to Microsoft Edge.
Just wanted to get this off my chest, thanks for listening.

I've seen a bunch of people here annoyed about Edge getting rid of the general sidebar, especially since you could pin things like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini there instead of being stuck with just Copilot.

It's basically the same problem that made me finish an extension I'd been sitting on for a while. I already pay for ChatGPT/Claude and use those chats enough that they have all my history, memory and context. I don't really want my browser deciding which AI I should use or making me create another set of chats somewhere else.

So I built it around the opposite idea. The browser should just make the AI services you already use easier to access.

You can pop up an overlay with a shortcut and send something to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, M365 Copilot etc., open one in a sidebar, attach screenshots or multiple tabs, and configure different websites to use different providers. So a work site can default to M365 Copilot while YouTube goes to Gemini, for example.

There's no AI subscription attached to the extension. It's completely free, no ads or paywall.

Curious if this covers what people actually miss about the old Edge sidebar, or if there was something else about it that I should add.

Here are some things that it can do:

1. An overlay that pops up with a shortcut (for example, cmd + E) where you can quickly send a message to whatever provider you want. You can set a default provider (per site as well) and easily toggle with cmd + 1-9

2. You also get an AI new tab, which works the same way

3. You can add skills/prompts, screenshots and attach multiple tabs

4. You can also use a shortcut (for example, cmd + S) to open the sidebar

5. You can configure sites to specific provier. For example, work websites route to M365 copilot, youtube to Gemini etc

Let me know what you think, and if there's anything else you'd like to see here. :)

Whenever I have edge open an Amazon app opens in my taskbar. It happens every 5 minutes after I close it. I don't have any Amazon tabs open or any extensions associated wit amazon on edge or chrome. To be honest I don't know if this is a problem caused by edge but if I click on the app it opens edge so I assume it must be associated somehow. Any tips on how to make it stop?

Not sure if its relevant but I'm using Windows 11 on an HP Laptop

I have multiple Edge profiles. I need to apply different DNS settings in each profile. But whenever I change settings in one profile, same changes are reflected in all other profiles as well. This doesn't allow me to use multiple profile simultaneously.

So this issue started today, when I go to a tab and try to click on anything on that particular website it becomes unclickable, like I cant interact with anything in that website at all and reloading wont help either I will have to close the tab and open a new one

happened across different websites

I have multiple emails logged into microsoft edge and asked my wife to remove few and don’t know why she opened settings than account and remove the gmail from there and didn’t read the warning now my bookmarks from microsoft edge are gone also my desktop shortcuts are gone and few saved passwords are also gone and now i dont even knew which profile was earlier setup😭

By the way, in Edge on any platform (apps for Windows, iOS, and Android), Google doesn’t show the “AI mode”. Many people who only use Edge might think that it’s supposedly only available in the Android app, but that’s not the case. I checked in Chrome and Yandex Browser, and... OH MY GOD.... the button appears there.

How do I turn on search history in Microsoft Edge Mobile? It seems like mine doesn't have that option thanks

Disabled this via edge://flags yet when I restart Edge Remix comes right back. How can I disable this permanently?

A small milestone for NODUS:

All five of my browser extensions are now available on Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

That means the current NODUS browser tools are now published across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Current lineup:

• NODUS Workspace — a local-first workspace for writing, spreadsheets, notes, files, PDFs and more
https://nodus-ai.app/workspace

• PH Radar — track Product Hunt launches, rankings and momentum
https://nodus-ai.app/ph-radar

• HN Radar — follow and explore Hacker News more efficiently

Getting the products built was only part of the job.

Packaging, adapting, submitting, and passing review across multiple browser stores is the less glamorous side of shipping software — but it matters.

Now the distribution layer is finally in place.

Last week the latest update completely blocked my Mac from accessing Edge at all (I am on MacOS Monterey, 12.7.6) . I like to use Edge on all my devices, so this was frustrating to deal with. I have tried deleting the autoupdater, but to no avail. I even downloaded the last compatible version with my device (146), and it keeps forcing it to update upon relaunch. How can I stop this from happening? I am unable to use OpenCoreLegacyPatcher at the moment. Any help is appreciated.

I get below message on all videos

"Your browser doesn't support playing this video format. You can download it to play locally."

I tried disabling hw decode and encode from flags

Issue: Some tabs get stuck in an infinite loading loop. This problem only occurs on the home page, and I cannot navigate to other pages (tabs tested: YouTube, Google, Gmail, Udemy, Coursera).

When:

The issue appeared after an update. I managed to fix it successfully, but the bug sometimes recurs.

How the bug manifests first time:

It is likely a problem with cookies or data; I recall how it first appeared:

1. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly.
2. Clicked the update icon; the program updated itself and restarted Edge (previous tabs were lost).
3. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly, but the tab icon showed a loading indicator (spinning continuously, even though all video thumbnails had appeared).
4. (The bug itself) When I clicked on a video, Short, channel, or search bar, the page wouldn't load. it remained on the home page with the tab icon still showing a loading process and a thin red line at the top that was stuck.

The home page works for all the websites mentioned above (images and text appear), but the loading icon persists, and I cannot navigate away from that home page.

a. I tried typing a direct link other than the home page, for example, a YouTube channel, but it didn't work (infinite loading in the new tab).

b. I tried opening it in private mode and it worked smoothly, so the issue only occurs in standard mode (not private mode).

How the bug re-appear:

I am not exactly sure how the issue recurs because it happens intermittently. However, it sometimes reappears after I close and reopen Edge, or after restarting the computer and opening Edge.

Possible fix: (I asked Gemini via my phone)

- Press Ctrl+Shift+Del and select two items to delete: cookies and cached images/files.

- After that, the issue was resolved (although all websites required logging in again).
