I run Edge on macOS and I like it enough that this complaint is worth writing.

The issue is sync. Chrome syncs essentially everything. Sign in on a new machine and within a minute your settings, preferences and theme are all there. The browser is yours.

Edge is nowhere close. Only a handful of settings actually sync. Appearance, toolbar layout, new tab preferences, privacy toggles, site permissions, none of it seems to follows you. Themes neither, which is strange given Edge happily syncs extensions from the very same store.

So every reinstall or new Mac means rebuilding Edge by hand. Walking through settings pages trying to remember which toggles I flipped, redoing the appearance setup, reinstalling the theme. Same engine as Chrome, and Chrome solved this years ago.

It's a small thing until it isn't. If anyone from the Edge team is reading, is full settings and theme sync actually on a roadmap, or should I stop waiting?

Just thought I'd share, as I hope many are getting this notice today! Looking forward to FINALLY leveraging EN proper!

Thanks to the Evernote team!

I’ve been a paying en customer for a long time, and I still use it because there is a lot I genuinely like about it (and honestly, also muscle memory)

At the same time, I’ll be honest: seeing so many longtime users talk about moving away from en has me a little concerned. I don’t want to pile on or turn this into another 'Evernote is doomed' post, because that’s not really where I’m coming from.

I want en to win. I just also want to feel more confident about where it’s headed.

A few things I’d love to see:

• Full Markdown support
• Better internal note linking
• A backlinks view, so I can see which notes point to the one I’m on
• A simple list of links that each note points out to
• More themes, especially better dark mode options
• More visual customization overall
• Stronger offline reliability
• Better export options that preserve folders, tags, links, and formatting
• Better performance with large note libraries
• Easier bulk editing for tags, notebooks, and note details
• Split pane editing and preview for Markdown
• A clearer roadmap for people who use Evernote heavily

Evernote still has some real strengths. The web clipper is great, OCR is useful, the app is everywhere, and a lot of us have years of notes sitting in it.

I’m not asking Evernote to become a completely different product. I’d just like to see it lean into the things that would make longtime users feel like the product is still moving forward.

Basically, I’m still here. I’d just like fewer reasons to wonder if I should be making an exit plan.
