MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!Extension toolbar button not working (Edge Dev 132.0.2931.1)
In the latest Dev channel build, clicking on the extension button in the toolbar you see the UI is all strange and only shows one of your extensions taking up the whole window. You are also missing the bottom part of the UI. I've submitted feedback but I'm not sure if it captured a screencap of the issue. Screenshot below:Some extensions don't work on Android Edge Canary when returning to the app
I am using Edge Canary and have installed several extensions through the developer options, but some of the extensions are not working when I resume from the background. The extensions that don't work seem to be automatically disabled internally, so I can disable them from the extension options and then re-enable them to use them again. (However, in the latest Canary build, if this problem occurs, the app crashes when I try to open the extension options.) This issue occurs with uBlock Origin, Stylus, etc., and probably occurs with the Manifest V2 extension. This issue occurs on multiple devices and occurs even after reinstalling, so it is not device-dependent.App theme is not reflected in the in-app browser on Edge for Android
In the MS Edge for Android, we can set the app theme appearance within the app separately from the system dark mode setting, but the in-app browser (Chrome custom tabs) such as Twitter will reflect the system settings instead of the in-app settings. The image was taken using the Twitter app's in-app browser with the system in dark mode and Edge in light mode, but the Edge menu is in dark mode.
Edge 130.0.2849.46 (Official build) (64-bit) Broke Extension(s) - Ublock Origin in this case.
Hello, I know very well that Edge is also moving to MV3. But, there isn't any announcement about complete removal of MV2 yet. Since Edge updated to v130, it broke popular extension like Ublock Origin, for many people. We've reported the issue to extension devs, it but seems that while there are many people who are affected, there still be many that have extension working fine as expected. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/3419 Many people've reported this issue not only on github, but also on reddit as well. The extension was working fine before v130, so we suspect that the cause is Edge update itself. - Issue: The extension loads but cannot run, and its dashboard page cannot load, is completely empty. Turn on/off does not work. Removing/Reinstalling from MSEdge Store also does not work. The only "workaround" for this is setting up a completely new blank local profile, but that will cost all the synced settings and extensions data. Please help us looking into this issue, Thank you. --------------------------------- Browser: Edge 130.0.2849.46 (Official build) (64-bit) Extension: Ublock Origin v1.60.0 Extension source: MSEdge Store System: Windows 10 22H2 19045.5011 (I don't think system info matters because there're people who're on Win11 and have this issue as well)
I like EDGE and use it since alpha ,a huge PERFORMANCE BUG(since 118 ,the bug can't avoid by flag)
This long thread will take your some time to read. A long-term BUG or design problem regarding the integration of EDGE and WINDOWS Explorer (EXPLORER.EXE) ALT+TAB view. This bug is very unbearable for me, and nearly 30 years of programming experience generally makes me try to solve the problem myself, but in the end, there is nothing I can do, and I decided to write my findings here. Recap: 1. This property integrates some tabs of EDGE with windows explorer in ALT+TAB to provide faster task switching 2. I turned off this function in the settings, and the corresponding registry key value is: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\MultiTaskingAltTabFilter' = 3 Problem Description: 1. In daily life, I am used to keeping 600-700 TABs in EDGE. With the latest version of the tab sleep function, EDGE works well, but EXPLORER will start to crash as my TAB increases. 2. After observation, it is known that in this case, EXPLORER's GDI OBJECT and HANDER will grow abnormally, so as to break the default limit of 10000, and then crash. After the crash, HANDER will increase slowly, and this behavior will continue to loop my thoughts: 1. In my programmer's thinking mode for many years, when you turn off this function, EDGE should not share the content of TAB with EXPLORER, occupying system resources for no reason, but should cut off the information of this API. He only needs to tell EXPLORER How many windows you have, the title content of each WINDOW is enough. 2. Before the EDGE browser added ALT+TAB to switch tabs, I even reached 1000 tabs. The system runs smoothly without any experience problems, and the EXPLORER will not crash. My intuition tells me that this function is the cause 3.The registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\MultiTaskingAltTabFilter' = 3 just hides these TABs, but in fact these TAB views still occupy full system resources (handle resources in EXPLORER), This kind of deception can't really solve the performance problem of the system. The real shutdown of this problem should be made by the EDGE development team and the WINDOWS development team to make some kind of switch/registry/group policy, so that EXPLORER completely ignores the details of the EDGE tab content in certain cases . I made a crashdump and some picture to help your find the problem all of @Edgedev. Wish you can fix this problem ASAP , thank you !
Microsoft Edge Collections Consistency Issue
I have two versions of edge capabilities in regards to the collections feature. I have a M365 account and a business account. On the personal M365 account the collections features are limited. I cannot sort, drag, drop, re-arrange, or unpin/pin but compared to my business account edge these features are enabled. Is there different versions of edge running for different account types? Cheers, Quan
Edge Workspaces sync BUGS
Hello First of all, I think that Workspaces in Edge is a very useful feature! Edge also has vertical tabs, which makes it the best tool for researchers using hundreds of tabs. I think other browsers can learn from this. With Workspaces, I can move windows I don’t currently use aside and open them again when needed without loading to RAM. Other browsers lack this feature, so I moved to Edge from Chrome. Edge is now my main tool for ongoing online research. However, after some months of use, I see that there are bugs that make me frustrated. With Workspaces, Edge is slow, it freezes, fails to synchronize, and reverts changes. 1. It does not update tabs and moves new tabs to the end. Let’s say that I have opened tabs: New Tab, facebook.com, A, B, C, D, E Later, I open links in new tabs from New Tab, Facebook, and A and leave them open. The tabs are: New Tab, msn.com/F, facebook.com, G, A, A2, B, C, D, E After some time, Workspaces synchronize, there is a short or longer Edge freeze. Then I see tabs are reorganized and F, G, H moved and changed addresses. The tabs are now: New Tab, facebook.com, A, B, C, D, E, New Tab, l.facebook.com/l.php?u=G, A2 It looks like Workspaces never update opened tabs when there was redirection through New Tab or l.facebook.com/l.php?u= or any other redirection on other websites. It only stores the first address it sees. When I refresh these tabs to see the description and go to the proper addresses, it still reverts it back! After I organize the order properly, it sometimes stays or is reverted back! This is frustrating when you need order and proper descriptions! 2. It is terribly slow, especially after opening another Workspace. I also encountered long freezes of Edge when opening another Workspace window or at random, probably when it synchronizes (a red dot appears next to the workspace name). Sometimes I have to wait 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes I’m losing patience! I have plenty of PC power (12-core Ryzen 3900X, 32GB RAM, Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB) and when I check Process Hacker, I see that Edge isn’t using 100% of CPU, but still is frozen. I noticed that when it’s frozen, there are around 200 disk writes, fast changing, 9MB/s total: C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Sync Data\LevelDB\256443.ldb ... ( edge_workspace_disk.xls ) When LevelDB writes stop, Edge is unfrozen. I’ve given msedge.exe processes high priority, but it doesn’t solve anything. I noticed this on previous versions starting from 122. I use Stable and Beta (to have two separate profiles) on PC and laptop. I waited hoping it will be solved, but nothing changed. It's possible that developers only tested Workspaces with a limited number of tabs and not with power users like myself, who manage 10 workspaces with 200-600 tabs in each. The consistent unreliability suggests there may be unresolved bugs present in each version. I examined the LOG.old file in the Sync Data>LevelDB folders of each browser and noticed that when a freeze occurs, there is a specific behavior logged: 2024/06/12-13:14:19.485 1a570 Generated table #365187@0: 40283 keys, 2109396 bytes 2024/06/12-13:14:19.485 1a570 Compacted 8@0 + 1@1 files => 2109396 bytes 2024/06/12-13:14:19.488 1a570 compacted to: files[ 4 6 7 0 0 0 0 ] 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365171 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365172 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365174 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365176 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365178 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365180 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365182 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365184 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365186 2024/06/12-13:14:19.491 179a0 Level-0 table #365197: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.492 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.500 179a0 Level-0 table #365197: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.503 179a0 Delete type=0 #365194 2024/06/12-13:14:19.504 1a570 Level-0 table #365199: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.505 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.511 1a570 Level-0 table #365199: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.514 1a570 Delete type=0 #365196 2024/06/12-13:14:19.515 179a0 Level-0 table #365201: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.516 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.524 179a0 Level-0 table #365201: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.530 179a0 Delete type=0 #365198 2024/06/12-13:14:19.530 1a570 Level-0 table #365203: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.531 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.539 1a570 Level-0 table #365203: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.542 1a570 Delete type=0 #365200 2024/06/12-13:14:19.542 179a0 Compacting 8@0 + 1@1 files 2024/06/12-13:14:19.556 179a0 Level-0 table #365206: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.564 179a0 Level-0 table #365206: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.568 179a0 Delete type=0 #365202 2024/06/12-13:14:19.572 179a0 Level-0 table #365208: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.581 179a0 Level-0 table #365208: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.584 179a0 Delete type=0 #365205 2024/06/12-13:14:19.588 179a0 Level-0 table #365210: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.596 179a0 Level-0 table #365210: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.600 179a0 Delete type=0 #365207 2024/06/12-13:14:19.604 179a0 Level-0 table #365212: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.611 179a0 Level-0 table #365212: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.615 179a0 Delete type=0 #365209 2024/06/12-13:14:19.620 1a0a0 Too many L0 files; waiting... 3. Workspaces sometimes stop syncing randomly and without notification. Occasionally, I notice a mismatch in the workspace between the PC and the laptop I use. If I close the workspace without checking, I will loose the tabs opened since the last sync! There's no notification, I must check if everything is synced or manually compare the opened tabs in the same workspace and then open them manually. After arranging them in the original order, I return to bug #1, which causes a mess when Edge moves tabs around. 4. Issues with Accessing Workspaces. This issue has occurred to me several times and is common among many users: "Error: Unable to load workspaces." Edge Workspaces error V114 - Microsoft Community Hub I tried many workarounds, sometimes they worked, yet they are not ideal and a definitive solution remains elusive. Now please tell me that Workspaces aren't still in beta phase. Workspaces are generally excellent tool, but in their current state of development, they are just a joke not worth the frustration and risk of data loss.
Microsoft Edge TTS refuses to read .pdf files
Hi there, [Reposting this here on the suggestion of an 'Independent Advisor' on the Microsoft Community forums.] I think the native MS Edge TTS is one of the best on the market, but it currently fails to initiate when I try and get it to read .pdf documents (even when opened in the browser and when the text is super-clear so OCR should be working). I have done everything from clearing my cache to reinstalling MS Edge and not importing anything or signing in, so that it's a completely fresh version, but the problem persists. I have also tried on Beta, Developer and Canary as well, with no luck. After a quick search online, I can see I'm not the only one with this problem - are there any fixes on the horizon? This is a real challenge from an accessibility standpoint. Kind Regards, Kristian
