Some YouTube videos only play audio, no video, in Edge v116
ISSUE There is an issue in the Edge 116 stable-release with some YouTube videos. Some videos that used to play without-issue in the 115 release no-longer work in the 116 release: the audio on such videos will play, but not the video. Even most adverts on YouTube are affected! Here is an example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nydwk87iEuM ("5 Monster Waves Caught On Camera" by "Underworld") Here you can see that video in the latest Edge and Firefox browsers: CODEC AND APP-VERSION INFO The "stats for nerds" YouTube feature reports the following codecs for that video: Edge: av01.0.04M.08 (397) / opus (251) Firefox: av01.0.01M.08 (396) / opus (251) And I am using the following software-versions: Edge: 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit) Firefox: 117.0 (non-ESR) x64 Windows: 10 Home 22H2 x64 (Build 19045.3324) TROUBLESHOOTING I have already tried turning "Use hardware acceleration when available" off, and restarting Edge, but it made no-difference. I then turned it back on, but it made no-difference. In edge://flags I have tried turning "Hardware-accelerated video decode" to Disabled, but it made no-difference. Neither did changing "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to "D3D9" (which I read on another site to try).Anyone 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.New Feature in Edge Canary: new dark design for Tab strip
This has been reverted back to the previous design in Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.467.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) The dark theme which can be set here: edge://settings/appearance in Edge Version 82.0.456.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) makes the Tab strip black, now the text will look always clear regardless of Windows 10 accent color. previously, only the active Tab would be dark and others would have the accent color
