Feature Requests
6 TopicsFeature Request - Collections & Etc.
I would like the ability to add all open tabs in a window to a collection instead of having to individually add them one by one. And also maybe some extra customization/tweaks like what Vivaldi has (Different methods of grouping; Stacked, Two Level, or Compact Fitted to single tab width, Tab Tiling; Multi-Window tabs in a single browser window, Lots more UI customization/configuration; completely custom theme(s), and a Toolbar Editor). I know this isnt stuff that can just be added on a whim, but i would like to see if any Edge devs see this post. My main request so far is just the collections one i mentioned. Thank you561Views1like0CommentsAdding a Translator Widget to the Tools Section of the Sidebar
Feature Request The Tools section of the Sidebar has almost every widget one would need, even including a handy dictionary. However, it is missing at least one additional tool: the translator! It seems that the widgets inside the Tools section are the same ones displayed when you search for them with Bing, so adding the translator should be easy. The translator is a powerful tool and having it alongside these other tools is necessary! An Additional Thought (it may be related, but is really a separate idea) Depending on how the dictionary widget works, it might be a cool idea to be able to select a lookup language. If I have a word in another language and I want the definition, it would be convenient to just ask the dictionary for the definition of that word (and be able to tell the dictionary the language to which it belongs); as opposed to having to use the translator (which isn't included in the Tools section) to get the word in English, then going back to the dictionary to get the definition.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsSync Profile Preferences sites?
I don't know if this is possible, but I noticed when I add sites to the profile preferences section in settings it doesn't sync across to my other devices so I have to add the sites on each computer, even though I have the same profiles on each. Would it be possible to sync these too? I'm talking about this section (excluded my sites for privacy reasons): Thanks!

Hello! I'm constantly re-naming and re-organizing my bookmarks (favorites) so that they make the most sense to my future self when I have to circle back to some resource I might not have even thought about in quite some time. But it can be difficult to put enough information in the 'Name' field to remind me if it's really the location I want to be opening. One feature that I think would be really beneficial is to add an additional 'Description' field that can be defined when creating/editing a bookmark (favorite). If this field is populated with some text, then it should be displayed in the bookmark's tooltip when hovering over it. I see no issue having this field be character limited to some number of characters, as long as it can contain a couple of sentences. I think this would be a really neat feature that would enable users to have much simpler 'file structures' for their bookmarks (favorites), while also making their bookmarks more reliable over time. Sometimes users will make multiple links to various sub-pages that all exist within the same website. But with this extra information available, one could more easily just link to the higher-level URL of a website; because the bookmark (favorite) description could contain just enough info to help them find what they need from the one access point. Often, websites re-organize their pages in ways that could break old bookmarks, but higher-level URLs of a website change much less frequently. So this feature wouldn't just make navigating your bookmarks easier; in practice, it would also allow the user to make useful bookmarks that would be more reliable over time. Please let me know what you think! Cheers, -Dan656Views1like0CommentsVarious suggestions.
Add custom block lists to the crawl prevention feature. I also suggest that custom preferences for browser extensions be synced. I would also like there to be an option in the browser translator to translate only the selected text, that is, the text is selected and when the text is selected a translator icon appears offering the possibility to translate only the selected text instead of all the page, this is done by many extensions but it would be nice if it is something native to the browser. The custom settings of the browser flags are not saved either, this would also like it to sync. The browser's site preferences are also not synchronized. And it would also be good to remove the support for Adobe Flash from the browser as it is somewhat obsolete. And the latter would be an excellent innovation, I think. That the browser does not use the HTTPS / SSL certificates of the operating system, that it uses the HTTPS / SSL certificates that are in the cloud on a Microsoft server. You could also put the entire storage of the browser in the cloud. This would be innovation in security since all the data of the browser would be in the cloud and not in the operating system, thus avoiding infections. It would no longer be necessary to use litter boxes for the browser. This initiative could even be extended to Windows, for example, that the operating system is on the cloud and not on a local physical disk of the computers. I don't know if it will be easy to implement or if you think it may be difficult to implement, but I think Microsoft has the necessary talent in your people to carry out any innovation. Thank you very much. Best regards. E-.634Views0likes0Comments
