Say hello to the new Favorite Sidebar feature in the Edge browser
Microsoft Edge Version 87.0.654.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) (This could be a controlled feature rollout meaning only available to a subset of insiders) this is the new view you get when you click on favorites button on Edge toolbar and once you click on that Pin icon, the sidebar will show up I love this mechanism and implementation, very neat and smart! thanks also the favorites menu no longer closes when you open favorite sites in new tabs, something I know a lot of people asked for.NEW Feature: Favorite/Bookmark Duplicates Removal option Added
Another new feature in Edge Canary Version 81.0.411.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), Favorites/Bookmarks Duplicate removal option if you click/touch the Favorites button on toolbar Or go to your Favorites manager: edge://favorites/ you will notice this option at the bottom-left of the page Clicking on "Remove Duplicate Favorites" tells Edge to check for any duplicates in your favorites by scanning them I Just scanned my favorites and I didn't have any duplicatesShow the number of favorites/bookmarks in Edge in edge://favorites/
I want to know how many bookmarks/favorites I have (excluding folders), just pure favorite items but due to having multiple folders, It's hard to CTRL + A (select all shortcut) on each folder, add the numbers one by one to find out how many bookmarks/favorites I have. please add the number somewhere in here: edge://favorites/ everyone will benefit from it. also it helps to detect if any favorites are duplicated.SS11: Datahoarding Suggestions - Save PDF, Save Page, Save Images, One Drive, Web Archive, etc.
Suggestion (SS): 11 Classification: DATAHOARDING BACKUP PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 5-6 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) Hello there, i finish my list with some other suggestions related to the datahoarding activity. Various suggestions about download/save in easily way were already reported before. For Datahoarders coming from r/datahoarder or r/appledatahoarding here my label about datahoarding, where you can find previous suggestions related to hoarding: https://link.ws/edgedatahoarding or here about onedrive https://link.ws/onedrivehoarding If i forgot something, just add a comment (login is necessary). Remember that suggestions related to download etc. has been submitted previously. Here additional suggestions: 1) remember to add save as pdf in menubar PRIORITY 10 2) remember to add save as pdf as a button PRIORITY 9 3) remember to add export page as a button PRIORITY 9 4) improve integration with onedrive, this means: 4a) i told you about overlay button over photos etc to save it. remember to add even a onedrive integration 4b) add a setting where we can define some onedrive path, and then we can click save photo, movie, pdf to such path inside right click menu, menu bar, via extension button or using a shortcut. 4c) add a way to save pages as pdf in one drive. in batch mode would be cool too, for example i tell you "every reddit link, save as pdf in onedrive in background" 4d) same but export the whole page in onedrive. automatically too. 5) webarchive integration. show links in webarchive or faster way to save pages to webarchive 6) inside bing, an overlay over the picture to save it in onedrive, without need to open full image or full page (this mean directly on the small image). 7) a way to backup automatically all bookmarks as pdf and as whole page in onedrive 😎a way that if i select some links in history you do 7) too 9) same as 8 with collections 10) same as 9 with links that i select, for example if i see in wikipedia a text with 5 links, i select this and click save as pdf 11) batch save multiple tab as pdf in onedrive and to mac too. 12) same but with export webpage 12b) same as 11,12 for the whole window 13) better integration of onedrive during various workflow, this means quick access via an extension or something other 14) dragdrop zone in eagle style/dropmark, this means i dragdrop x images to this drop zone and then i can select save to onedrive or to mac (with option to select optionally which folder). PRIORITY 7 15) backup history to onedrive 16) backup collections to onedrive 17) backup bookmarks to onedrive PRIORITY 8 18) for 15-17 remember to add safety folder, this means if i delete links or other, i still see it somewhere (= keep all versions!) 19) ability to backup setting of edge to onedrive 20) ability to save bookmarks page (or some folder) to webarchive in batch 21) same as 20 for selected links in history 22) same as 21 for whole tabs or windows. 23) ability to save a screenshot in onedrive with background process. 24) ability to save all submitted files to feedback center in my onedrive (in case we need it for other situation). this is not my case, because i use external cloud, but maybe for other users. 25) or integration of onedrive with feedback, instead of posting links 26) ability to play quickly videos from onedrive (without need to visit page/bookmarks). so something like shortcuts i wrote last time <od or via a button extension. maybe even add a random play mode and a remember what i watched last time, so that once i write <od oc you play last episode of occalifornia, from the exact position. instead if i write $$<od or something similar you play a random episode (check https://link.ws/edgess7) 27) ability to generate bookmarks from a onedrive folder. this mean if i have video 1-20 inside folder a, you create a folder a in bookmark with url 1-20 28) ability to save files offline, in netflix style, where you delete it after 5 days for example. so this is not about using the button "download". you save it inside a temporary edge folder. 29) drag drop from one drive to tab doesn't work 30) same if i drag photo from tab 1 to tab 2 and i release this in onedrive 31) if i select x file in onedrive, no option to choose "open in tabs" 32) check the drag drop option to onedrive web (no matter if i do it from collection, bookmarks, history) PS: generally all suggestions should implement both save to onedrive and save to mac option. same for save as pdf and export webpage. would be better if different thing can be done automatically in background and maybe with closed tabs (like saving pages to webarchive). would be cool if you can support save pdf/page from a logged account, so avoid to save as public webpage (because in such case we see "please login"... optionally we can integrate archive.is support, but at the end webarchive is the main used. to integrate 2 different services can maybe be complex for developers. i still think at least one should be available. Edge Dev, please check https://link.ws/edgeonedrive too, maybe some user wrote directly in the other post. Now i made some suggestions about onedrive web too: https://link.ws/onedriveweb you can vote these here too https://link.ws/voteonedriveweb You can find this suggestion on Chromium too: CHECKLATER* --------------- All my other suggestions are here: https://link.ws/edgesuggestions Suggestions I liked from other user here: https://link.ws/othersuggestions Chromium suggestions list 1: https://link.ws/chrome1 2: https://link.ws/chrome2 From end 2020-10 all suggestions are written on both Edge and Chrome at the same time, suggestions before 2020-10 are available only on Chrome. *to avoid a ban from Google, I submit only limited post pro week.Regarding the Interface features: Auto-Hide / open the bookmarks bar.
Regarding the Interface features: Auto-Hide / open the bookmarks bar. I used to use old Opera and Chrome and I always lacked the ability to quickly view my bookmarks from the top, Later I discovered Cent Browser (a completely new project) also developed on the chromium engine. "Auto-Hide/show" the bookmarks bar. YES! This is cool! At the moment, I use it and this feature is very strongly saved with its minimalism chromium and interface - the very thing you need.I would hardly be able to convince you ,butMy personal opinion is that the slogan of any software product at the moment should be convenience.Сool feature! minus- Edge is a very good browser, but due to the fact that it also wants to focus on touch screens - it has a slightly-thick - wide interface .SS33: smart pip mode - better tiktok integration (or other video social/websites) picture-in-picture
Suggestion (SS): 33 Classification: TIKTOK + PIP / picture-in-picture + audio control PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 4-6 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) EDIT: i just found this picture in picture https://link.ws/pipdiscussion1 discussion in the feed too. 1) i don't see this directly is annoying i need to activate it via flags 2) pip doesn't work, even if i activate it goal like 360 chrome (or even better, see 3) or https://link.ws/vivopepip with better video control (sugg.17.) and pip buttons (sugg.18.), but avoid to put it over the downloader... (like the picture) 3) smart player with zoomed features like this on the right 4) remember tiktok specific size 5) keep always on top over all mac apps (i haven't tested this with edge, because i don't see pip) 6) please go to next tiktok automatically 7) allow extension in pip mode, so i can download tiktok videos in pip mode with the overlay button PS: about 6) i already told to them inside my 50+ suggestions to tiktok too, but maybe edge is able to fix it too. i hope auto for both pip mode and normal web browsing. 😎add possibility to add multiple url inside a list of pip mode, so a sort of playlist pip mode. 9) maybe like 8 with collections or bookmarks folders, so you pip mode randomly url 10) add to bookmarks inside pip mode directly, especially if you implement 6) 11) same like 10 for collections 12) maybe a separate history for pipmode visited urls (if 6. is implemented) EDIT: sorry i can activate it via 1 ... there is no button over the video for pip (or below, near the video). if i do that, i see there is no mute option too. 13) we cannot change the size, we can only change position. yes pip is over all mac apps (i see it now after enabling with 1. ) 14) remember to add even the option "keep behind mac app too". so both option should be available. 15) loop mode support for other website here the max size possible 16) better audio control panel, where we see all tabs with audio active and we can choose where to keep audio on or off. for example if 300 tabs are opened, but 20 with audio, in this panel we see only the 20 tabs. 17,18) see above 19) ability to quick copy url link or share the video (in pip mode) 20) screenshot feature integrated in pip mode. 21) loop from x to y https://www.tiktok.com/@buketalican11.12.16/video/6682465643712744709 example from 0 to 0.22 in this video, by skipping the rest 22) continue to loop, even if i launch another website, in this case you have 2 audios, 1 with pip, 1 without. would be cool the loop function for normal browsing too (is possible via extension...) 23) remember the dual mode suggestion: pip and full mode at the same time https://link.ws/edgess25 about 24) it depends how you implement all that. if you do like 360chrome, where each video has separate pip then allow both option "deactivate audio in dock mode" or "keep audio in dock mode" (not available in 360). what i like is that i can pip my videos in the dock. so if you use a player, maybe a way to pip the player in the dock is cool too, with both option "audio on" "audio off". 25) if there is no idea for 23) then a way to switch from pip to full faster, and from full to pip too about 26) i know this get against tiktok policy, but maybe useful for other websites**. a download button. **at the end is not possible to download it at all, since it doesn't work. plus the fact that tiktok download is not directly a feature a browser need to support and extension can do it perfectly. so the point is to add it for other websites, that allow you to download videos without copyright problem... 27) spotify player should be different from video player. so we can have spotify and pip at the same time. 28) 2x click switch size for example with opera max size is then with a 2x click we go to so a small size, which is not related to the full size video - pip mode switch suggestion that i wrote before. in this case the max size could be 1/2 of display, full mode is 1/1 29) right click options would be cool to see suggestions or skip ads or stop auto suggestions with right clickSS27: smart switch setting and smart + button (for open new tab)
Suggestion (SS): 27 Classification: TAB - SETTING PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 7 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) First add a quick way to switch between download / extension / bookmarks / history in the style of brave but maybe more compact Maybe add custom option too, so that i can add edge://settings/searchEngines?search=google to this list too, or edge://settings/downloads or ... or easy access to flags <<<<<<<<<<<< Second you should improve this mean if i click cmd, alt or ctrl you do specific things: example: open in incognito with ctrl and + open home page with alt show a list of top pages if i click cmd + (example pubmed, google images and ebay.ch). then i can choose which of these three. this is like having 4 different home webpages. or you can even add the way "if i click alt you open a new tab with the edge profile xxx" (even if i'm using yyy now). Or the same, but you show us the list of accounts (like i wrote in 3), so we can choose and we don't configure "open new tab in edge account xx with alt and +" here an example of what i mean, from czech devs. now i haven't checked all other browser. i just tried some random browser on my mac to see if someone integrate it, and the first random browser that i launched has this feature available (just a bit limited) <<<<< another option is to open a tab to the left if we click shift and + other example for smart +: open in new group open next to the current tab (but is better to integrate a whole option for this) open in new window duplicate all tabs from the current group you use to another group open a group of tabs at the same time (same like 3. but by using specific groups that we can configure). maybe without need to add a specific setting where we define the links, but just an option in bookmarks. so an option "add this folder in new tab smart group". then we can add 5-10 folders. reopen last closed tab <<<<< just another thing i noticed now seznam home button is cool, is not the classical home button like all other browser have.... PS: not important for me (at the end there is no improvement in my workflow), but maybe for someone else such smart features with cmd etc. can be applied to too, where you show us different websites (like i wrote in 3. ) <<<<<< NEW SUGGESTION: you can even add this smart button to so with ctrl (or other keys) and < we go back to the first page we opened (not only the previous). or you can use cmd < to go to the tab to the left and cmd > to go to the tab to the right.Last sug. for today: improve add to bookmarks
this mean 1) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autobookmarks/lcchihcbfbaedlagdpaemgbpjapiihpo use this extension as example. i should have a way to create specific rules: if i visit xxx.com/xxx/yyy ... you should add this to bookmark xxx.com with subfolder yyy. this mean if i visit xxx.com/xxx/yyy/a and xxx.com/xxx/yyy/b i see a and b under xxx.com/yyy or i can create rules like "for each website i visit add a bookmark to yyy" (example pubmed.com/..... to pubmedvisited) BUT!!!!! avoid to add date like autobookmarks does. the same for .jpg inside an url. you save such things under /website/jpg all such rules are configured by me. you just provide a way to configure rules. 2) improve add to bookmark by creating an option "add description" like safari, so we can better find urls.

Suggestion (SS): 37 Classification: bookmarks bar PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 5 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) I already told you different suggestions about bookmarks bar for example here https://link.ws/tedgbookbar but even in other post too. I already told you about favicon extension bar in safari too. Now what i want is that the bar is able to do what favicons can. If i add 400 links, and each section contains a workflow (for example link 1-50 workflow 1, 50-75 to 2, etc...) i want to scroll such bookmarks, so that i can see workflows link directly. instead of seeing a-g in the bar and h-z hidden, you need to hide a-g (left), show me h-o and hide p-z (inside >> to the right). i still wish i can add custom color to folders in the bar; replace javascript icons with a text (example P for pocket) or an icon (pocket), etc. see more here https://link.ws/tedgbookbar PS: pin javascript links! they are already on the left. so if i visit workflow 2, i want to see my 4-8 javascript on the left, not that you hide it. so we need a feature "pin urls" too, but i already told you about that in other post too (especially pin to the right). your bookmarks bar should work a bit like my touchbar. i have pinned things on the left and right, and i scroll things in the middle.SS8: better setting - faster add url / batch url / add via bookmarks
Suggestion (SS): 8 Classification: SETTING PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 8-10 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) problem it takes hours to add such setting and you add it wrongly too. so 1 by 1. solution 1) add a batch url way 2) if i visit bookmark folder "allow setting" i could simply right click the folder and tell edge add such setting to allow flash... same if i select multiple url inside bookmarks or history. PS: this should work with multiple setting, not only flash... 3) import export, for faster add to other user.
