r/MicrosoftEdge

Hi there. Since the latest update I've noticed that UI elements such as context menus, extensions popup, etc. got way too inflated and roomy. Is it just me, or do you experience this as well? Do you know how to revert back to old style? I've already double-checked if it's not the touch mode that is tripping.

I've ran speed test on https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.1 for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on my mac m2 pro, all of them have been updated to the latest version. I was under impression that Edge should have at least on par performance compare to Chrome but it's now more than 20% behind, what's going on?
Chrome: 26.2
Safari: 25.8
Edge: 19
Firefox: 16.9

My father who passed away a little over 10 years ago... his bookmarks were in my Edge favorites. Now, this is my new laptop bought within the last year or so, and the desktop that we shared is long gone from my teenage years, other than maybe a few stops over from my early 20s. I am back in the home now, but I don't think the IP address is exactly the same, is it? I use the same (personal, my own, not connected to his other than chat) Hotmail account from back then for my game systems, but. Why? How? Anyway, WAYYYYYYYYYYYY CREEPY.

Hey everyone,

I am facing a really frustrating issue and it's driving me nuts. Every time I close and reopen Microsoft Edge, I get logged out of my Gmail and other email accounts and have to sign in all over again (2FA and everything). 😤

I've already made sure "Stay signed in" is checked and my "Clear browsing data on close" settings are turned off, but it still keeps happening.

Is this a known Edge bug, or is there a setting I'm overlooking? How do I make it just stay logged in like a normal browser? Any help would be appreciated!

I am unaware of the same extension on Edge as Zoom Image on FF. There are a few instances where FF complicates issues with site accessibility that I would like to use Edge for instead. Zoom image on FF is excellent and I want it on Edge. Right click on any image and it enlarges it on the page without opening a new viewing box. It enlarges it right there and in high quality without affecting the view of the page itself.

I'd like the same for Edge. Can't find it. Tried a bunch but the closest I've found is Image Zoomer but it is Left Click on the mouse, which opens an image box that can then be enlarged by scrolling on the mouse wheel. This is a weird way of doing it. I also don't want the entire page to enlarge or increase the view.

There might be something that does this on github, but I haven't been able to find it. Assistance appreciated!

I dont want every time to enter my windows password only too see the saved passwords in microsoft hedge.Can I turn I off so that I can see the saved passwords every time without entering any microsoft email password?.

For about a year I had an odd and slightly annoying issues with Edge browser. When I open edge (cold start, not running in background) it would take 10-15 seconds before pages or tabs would load. Both, previous tabs, or new tabs would spin for 10-15 seconds in "loading" state but not load until that time passed. As of recently, I think we version 150 upgrade, it is back to loading everything right on the startup like normal.

No change to extensions nor user settings (self-managed with registry).

Did something specific change that others have caught on or perhaps share my past experience and also noticed it resolved?

I damn changed my main search engine to bing but after 2nd search it still forces me to use yandex I am losing my mind fr I resetted my account deleted all extensions I dont understand

I've been having issues with youtube, even though my internet connection swears its going at peak speed. The graphics acceleration is on but I see no difference. Any advice or extensions?

doesnt happen with other browser

Although Microsoft removed the option from the settings, there is still a command-line flag (--disable-features=msFeatureGroupNewLookAndFeelHoldout) that re-enables the feature; the permanent and global way to do this is by modifying the registry:

1. Right-click an empty area on your desktop, then select New > Text Document.
2. Open the text file in Notepad and paste the following code exactly as shown:

​

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"CommandLineFlagSecurityWarningsEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\CommandLineArgs]
"1"="--disable-features=msFeatureGroupNewLookAndFeelHoldout"

1. Click File > Save As...
2. Under Save as type, change Text Documents (*.txt) to All Files (.).
3. Name the file FixEdge.reg (make sure it ends with .reg) and save it to your desktop.
4. Double-click the newly created FixEdge.reg file, accept the Windows warning, and click Yes to merge it into the registry.

For Edge to process this new system policy, you must reload its policies after ensuring all background instances are closed:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. In the address bar, type edge://policy and press Enter.
3. Click the Reload policies button at the top of the page.

Note: This workaround may only be temporary, as Microsoft could remove support for this command-line flag in a future version of Edge :(

J'utilise Edge sur W11 réinstallé il y a 3 jours.

J'ai des ralentissements, saccades lors de scroll et chargement infini des pages (bien que la page soit chargée et opérationnelle).

J'ai une bonne connexion fibre et je teste avec le DNS de Google.

Sauriez vous si c'est Edge ou le site Reddit en lui même.

Ou signaler ces problèmes?

After installing the firmware update to my k2 plus a few days ago, Creality Print will only run in administrator mode but I get the error code “Microsoft Edge can't read and write to its data directory:” Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Finally version update 150 is here so I expected some new stuff in this browser. But WTF. I get to see the new features screen as always after a version update, but all features are way old and already in Edge! Stuff like read mode. No new features at all! Is this a bug or something? There must be something new, especially since it's milestone 150 version, right?

I've been using Edge Workspaces for about 6 months to organize my tabs across 4 projects. It has worked well for me. A few days ago Edge updated to the new Workspaces that changed their sync behavior along with some UI changes. A step backward in functionality and usability with no apparent improvements, sigh. But I adjusted.

This morning, when I switched from one workspace to another, the new workspace which should have had about 50 tabs only had 4, and those 4 tabs were clones of ones from the workspace I switched from. I opened my other workspaces and they all seemed fine. But that one workspace has lost all its tabs. It was the main project I was working on so this sets me back on today's work.

I really liked Workspaces. Until today it has worked the best for organizing my tabs. I tried Arc and Zen and Firefox Containers but none of those worked as well for my purposes as Workspaces. Now I cannot trust Edge so I'm frustrated.

Has anyone else seen this happen (I was on Edge 149 when this happened, and it updated to 150 as I was checking the version)? Is it a more widespread problem or just a glitch on my computer?

it just randomly changes to yandex for no reason, i managed to ward it off but it KEEPS RETURNING its very annoyingand i cant figure out what to do about it, is it impossible to fight it off?

I'm making this post to ask if this is normal behavior for edge and if so how do I stop it... I only used edge 2 days ago and opened like 3 tabs and stopped using it.

The image is of the site that opened randomly. I haven't installed any suspicious files neither have I clicked on any malicious links so I doubt it's a virus but edge opening randomly seems really weird?
