Latest version of Edge browser Version 81.0.396.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) has been shipped with another piece of puzzle for its Immersive Reading mode and now the new Edge browser almost has all of the features that the legacy version of Edge had in terms of Reading View mode/Immersive Reader mode, except for the Inline Definitions or Definitions inline. Introducing: Line Focus View the attached MP4 video file below for more info. How to enable it: go to edge://flags/ and enable these flags Link I used to demonstrate Immersive Reader mode in the video.

We have access to all of these colors for the background color in Immersive Reader mode in Edge but no option to change Font color. Font color only changes from black to white when background is black. It would help me make the text better for reading by choosing a different font color than black when I'm using a background color that is not white. https://streamable.com/pr5os2.5KViews7likes7CommentsFeedback and report on Immersive Reader in Edge Canary Version 83
There are some preferences that are Remembered and there are some preferences that are Reset/Lost after Immersive Reader mode page is refreshed or when user quits and goes into Immersive Reader mode again. Preferences that are remembered: Read Aloud voice Text Preferences => Text Size Text Preferences => Page Theme Text Preferences => Spacing Preferences that are Lost/reset: Reading Preferences => Line focus Reading Preferences => Picture Dictionary Grammar Tools => syl.la.bles Grammar Tools => Part of speech (all of the options) Grammar Tools => Show labels Here is a demo video: https://streamable.com/17rz4 Please set all of the preferences to be remembered and never be lost once user configures them. it'd be perfect if they could also be synced with "settings sync" in Edge.Solved2.2KViews1like7CommentsFull page web capture doesn't work in Immersive view mode
It's been like this for a while, after today's Canary update still not fixed, Version 89.0.711.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) if you can please try to replicate this problem and if you succeed send feedback through Edge browser (with problem recreate), I've already sent one. example websites to use where immersive reader button is available, this and this steps to reproduce: press the immersive button in the address bar make sure you can scroll down and up press web capture button and take a full-page capture you should see that the web capture only captures what's shown on the screen, i.e. it doesn't take a scrolling capture, as it is would outside immersive reader mode.1.9KViews1like3CommentsTrying to figure out the logic behind Immersive reader mode
The Immersive reader mode button appears on this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/changing-computer-state?view=powershell-7 but it doesn't appear on this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies both websites are Microsoft docs, articles, perfectly made for Immersive reader mode. I'm using Edge insider Version 80.0.341.0 Canary 64-bit My suggestion: make it a fixed button so it will be there for all web pages.1.8KViews0likes6CommentsAnyone else also notices this black square at the end of every immersive reader page?
This mysterious square appears on every page I turn into immersive reader mode. it happens on Edge canary, it happens on Edge stable (ver. 87 and 89) I've sent feedback for this as I think it's not supposed to be there, clicking on it does nothing, so it's a redundant element. if you can see the same thing on your Edge, please send feedback from Edge (shortcuts: Alt + Shift + i) so that hopefully it will be taken care of in a future release.1.7KViews1like3CommentsIssue in showing site information in the Immersive Reader
The site information in Immersive Reader in the latest versions of Microsoft Edge stable and Insider channels shows that "Your connection to this site isn't secure" which means that if a user sees this, then the user will be thinking that viewing that site in Immersive reader would be insecure, after seeing it multiple times on different websites viewed in Immersive reader, a user might take a thought that using Immersive reader would be insecure and would not use that feature at all, this is misleading. I had sent several feedbacks about this for months, but I got no response and this issue is still not yet resolved. I am requesting to fix this issue as soon as possible.Solved1.7KViews2likes4CommentsAnother Great Edge classic feature has been added to the new Edge, - Text Preferences
