[FIXED] Why Edge on Android is using super old Chromium engine?
Edge on Android is now on the latest version, the same as Edge desktop, everything is new and up to date. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/new-edge-canary-mobile-version-available-now-updated-chromium/m-p/2275690 I'm using Edge beta on Android 9. the Chromium version in it is version 77. right now the latest stable version is 80, Beta is 81 so naturally, just like Google chrome itself, Edge Beta should have Chromium 81 but in reality it is using a very old Chromium version 77. Why is that? p.s I detected the engine version using multiple websites that are made to detect browser engines in browsers.Tab entries in the Vertical tabs are a bit too small
I'd like those rectangles to be more fat (vertically) to be easier to click on. It's just, I've been using horizontal tab strips my entire life and changing it to vertical (which I really like) makes me want them to be a bigger of a rectangle than what I currently see. the horizontal width is good and doesn't need to widen the vertical tab sidebar anymore. this is on Edge Dev Version 87.0.644.4New Feature: Read Aloud for PDF is now available in Edge canary
This is from the Top feedback list: Planned Support read aloud of PDF files 10 weeks Now available in Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.477.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) [Controlled feature rollout], meaning not available to everyone just yet.Let's discuss Microsoft decision for choosing version 79 as first stable release
I think I know why Microsoft has decided to stay behind Google Chrome's release cycle and it is actually pretty smart and good. Let's discuss this everyone, I do hope that developer team or Microsoft employees correct me if I'm being wrong. So I think Microsoft decided to release version 79 as the first stable channel for the new Edge insider browser, and to be intentionally behind Google Chrome's release cycle, so that Microsoft browser will be more stable than Google Chrome stable. In case you're not aware, Microsoft marked version 79 to be the first release of stable channel for the new Edge insider browser due to release in 15 January 2020. while Google Chrome stable version 79 was released December 10 2019. This gives Microsoft a 35 days gap where they can hold on and wait for more bug fixes to be released for each version of Chromium from Google before they include it in their own browser. Because when Google releases their stable builds, they always release some other minor updates for it later, mostly minor bug fixes and such. Microsoft can wait for all of them to be released and include then in their version before stable release. Because Microsoft is dealing with lots of companies and enterprises so their Browser is more important and mission critical than others. Another good thing and advantage that I can think of about this 35 days gap is that Microsoft is not exactly following Google's features and road map. Microsoft has a different road map for their exclusive features that we, the users, ask through feedbacks, so it doesn't really mean that Microsoft is behind Google Chrome in terms of available features and abilities.What do these flags to exactly? [XPS and GDI printing]
I found these information so far https://mspoweruser.com/google-chrome-uses-xps-print-api/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/printdocs/about-xps-print-api https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/printdocs/gdi-printing but I can see no difference in Edge insider latest version with those flags enabled and disabled Version 81.0.375.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
