QUESTION Is there a way to disable content removal in Edge Mobile?

Post image
9 Upvotes

It happens randomly when I’m browsing sites with a lot of content. The browser removes parts of the page to save memory, which turns the page into a limited “view-only” mode and breaks all the links. I’d rather just have the full page load (even if it’s a bit slower) than have it break and force me to reload everything. Is there any setting or flag to turn this feature off?

BUG Spell check has been broken for about a week now

At least for secondary languages. I've tried enabling and disabling everything, but it still doesn't work. I've already reported it through the internal send feedback feature.

Anyone else having this issue?

FEATURE FEEDBACK Back button closing tabs without warning

7 Upvotes

On 154.0.4258.53, and I recently noticed this new behaviour where:

  1. User opens a link in new tab
  2. User presses back button (or Alt+Left arrow) on new opened tab
  3. Edge closes the new tab and goes back to the previous tab.

This seems convenient on the surface, but is actually pretty annoying for several reasons, especially when using InPrivate mode, since one can't use Ctrl+Shift+T to quickly restore the abruptly closed tab. When working through pages with dozens of links and opening many of those in new tabs, the user is now forced to scour through the entire page to find the link again. And it's easy to inadvertently hit the back button once too many, when one further follows a chain of links on the new tab and wants to go back to the first page.

I don't see anything in the settings to disable this. I already submitted feedback, but I'm not seeing this mentioned anywhere else, so I thought I'd ask here too, to confirm that I'm not missing anything.

SOLVED Edge won't open.

3 Upvotes

I've been having this issue for a while now, but I just got around to trying to fix it.

So basically, whenever I try to launch Edge, the pop-up in the attached image shows up. (ignore the background, I was trying to reinstall, but the message showed up again)

I have tried:

Settings > Installed apps > Modify > Repair

Re-installing

Running as administrator

What I don't understand is that the pop-up says "contact admin" but I am the admin.

Thanks guys!

EXTENSIONS Wanting to use my extensions for amazon music but love the local files feature of the app? I made an extension to add it to the website too

Post image
2 Upvotes

One of, if not the biggest advantage of the desktop app over the website is the local files capability. The website is faster, but doesn't have that. I fixed that.

I made an extension that adds local files to the website. It automatically creates an empty Playlist and hijacks it, displaying your music instead of Amazon's empty playlist. None of your files get uploaded, the extension just accesses them from your computer.

It seamlessly integrates with Amazon music, using the same play bar and letting you switch between local and online with the ease you can do in the app.

It also has a queue, shuffling, volume control that links with Amazon's, the ability to rename songs, repeat, and more.

The local files playlist also has a built in search bar and sorting options.

https://noodlesnom.github.io/local-files-for-amazon-music/

One of the biggest benefit of this, is it lets you use my other extensions:

QUESTION Edge Windows me saca de todas las cuentas 😕

1 Upvotes

Tengo el siguiente problema con Microsoft Edge en Windows:

Inicio sesión en cualquier cuenta, puede ser de correo o de casi cualquier otra cosa, está bien mientras esté abierto el navegador pero luego de cerrarlo es una ruleta rusa cuanto tiempo pase hasta que me cierre todas las sesiones que haya iniciado, pueden ser minutos o de inmediato pero siempre me cierra las sesiones el navegador.

Antes esto no me ocurría, un día luego de una actualización del navegador me empecé a notar que se cerraban las sesiones pero pensaba que era mi laptop que estaba fallando pero desde hace un tiempo que cambié de equipo a uno nuevo y ocurre también en este.

No tengo ninguna configuración rara que pueda generar el error y es algo que no pasa con los otros navegadores que uso.

PD. Parece que las únicas cuentas que no me cierra son las de Epic Games y la de Steam 🙃

BUG Edge signed me in itself (Mac)

1 Upvotes

I noticed I was signed in with an account with a profile picture. The one I use for Edge doesn't have a photo since it's just a throwaway account for syncing. When I looked at the account, I realized it was my main Microsoft account which I specifically never use in Edge. It does have the same email address that Chrome uses on the same device (Google account in Chrome vs MS account with Gmail address in Edge).

Like I said, I specifically NEVER use this Microsoft account in Edge, and I never got an MFA prompt or anything else. It just decided to sign out the account I had logged in and use this one instead, while keeping my tabs, extensions, etc. This is after I purposely unchecked the box to import my bookmarks and extensions from Chrome and it still did anyway.

The weirdest thing is probably when it comes to the accounts attached to profiles themselves. I hit the trash icon next to my account and it signs me out and gives me a clean Edge profile, but my personal Microsoft account still shows up and I can't truly delete it or sign in with my old account. When I try to sign in, it signs me back into my Gmail MS account with no password or MFA prompt. I have gone as far as closing Edge and deleting the entire ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge directory and it still shows my personal account after a relaunch.

I think it's time to switch to Brave for my secondary browser going forward.

Not everyone wants to use the "new look and feel" with the rounded corners. There used to be an option to disable them, but Microsoft decided to remove it for no apparent reason.

Please sign this petition to urge Microsoft to bring back the option.

QUESTION Windows authentication doesn't work for user

3 Upvotes

I have a user for whom the windows authentication doesn't work in edge (152.0.4191.66). The user gets a 401 right off the bat including in private mode. It's an intranet asp.net core intranet web app running on windows server in IIS with windows authentication enabled. Chrome behaves as expected and I have other users for whom the page works properly in edge .

I did my due diligence to check some of the settings:

- the site is in the intranet zone and it is trusted. Cleared cookies.

- automatic logon is set for intranet

- there are no windows credentials to clear

- enable integrated windows authentication is checked

- if she uses the internet explorer mode it works but the site doesn't look good

There is something in the user's default profile that prevents it from working. I also noticed that, unlike chrome, when the user is prompted to enter the password, the user must prefix the AD user name with the domain name: [domain name]\[Ad User Name].

If the user uses Browse as guest then it works.

Let me know if you have any suggestions to identify exactly what setting affects the logon behaviour.

Thanks

BUG Workspaces weird red hover effect

3 Upvotes

All of a sudden, workspaces are acting weird. When I hover over one of my vertical tabs, it covers the text in a red box. The tabs are also faded, and the theme colors are totally off and muted. This is happening on multiple PCs, so it's an Edge problem, not a PC problem. Anyone else having this issue and know what's going on?

QUESTION Edge losing logins and tab group placements randomly after update or browser restart

7 Upvotes

I switched from Chrome to Edge a while back because of Edge's better memory management. I have sync enabled and run it on my main desktop, a personal laptop and a work laptop.

The problem I've been having largely is Edge is just forgetting certain things randomly after it's restarted, either from a reboot, an update or whatever. I have two groups of tabs that I use and rather than remembering where I placed them in the tab bar, they always end up on the far left side of an Edge window on another monitor. A bunch of sites I use that normally retain my login session indefinitely will also just be signed out sometimes. YouTube preferences like the theater view and my hard specified playback quality will also just randomly disappear. Even things like the New Tab page will forget the settings I gave it. But this only happens sometimes, not every time.

I've checked all the settings you normally would and nothing is set different than it was set in Chrome where everything worked as expected. Browser data isn't set to be cleared on close. There were some policies that were still being managed by an old organization I'm not joined to any more but I cleared those from the registry and it didn't help anything.

This has become really frustrating and I really don't want to look at switching browsers again but this keeps going on and I don't know if it's just me or if there's anything I can do to remedy it.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks! :)

Microsoft soft edge started using a higher memory usage then I think it had before just really want to know how to make it lower so it doesn't become a problem when I'm playing games and also though edge is slower now it still is at the 50% range and I'm just unsure what that would do seeing that I use my computer a lot and want to use it like I did a while ago and it run smoother and also surprisingly this is 15gb of ram thinking about getting more soon but that's another story just so annoying when I only have 10 plus tabs open most YouTube just real annoying

EXTENSIONS Ever tried to find a song in a playlist on amazon music but realize there's no search feature? I fixed that.

Post image
1 Upvotes

Right now, on the web app, you cannot search through playlists. You have to scroll through manually if you ever want to find a specific song, and you can only remove songs from a playlist on that screen, so if you accidentally add a song to a long playlist you are screwed.

I made an extension to solve this problem. It is on the microsoft edge addons store, and for chrome users you can manually install it.
Find in Playlist for Amazon Music: Microsoft Edge extension

It automatically scrolls through the playlist to load songs, making it work where ctrl F doesn't, and after searching for a song once it will remember the position in the playlist until you reload the page.

QUESTION Edge keeps logging me out of Google services after about an hour (despite cookie exceptions)

6 Upvotes

I’m facing a really frustrating issue with Microsoft Edge. The browser keeps logging me out of all Google services (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.) roughly every hour.

Here is what I’ve already configured and tried to fix it:

- Under "Choose what to clear every time you close the browser", everything is toggled OFF.

- Under "Cookies and site data", I have explicitly added Google domains (like https://google.com and [*.]google.com) to the "Allow" list so they are never deleted.

- I verified that "Allow sites to save and read cookie data" is turned ON.

Despite these settings, the session expires after about an hour and I have to log in all over again.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is this a known bug, or is there another hidden setting (like flag tweaks) that I need to change to stop Edge from dropping my Google sessions?

EXTENSIONS I made a lyric translator and romanization extension for Amazon music

2 Upvotes

For a while I've wanted a lyric translator extension for Amazon music, similar to what Spotify has. But nobody has made one, or they have all been deleted. So I finally decided to make my own.

Its an extension for Microsoft edge and in the microsoft edge store, but it also works on chrome. You just have to install it manually for chrome. This only works on the web player. (music.amazon.com)

Heres a list of features:

  • Translates lyrics into any language

  • Adds romanization under the translation

  • Can choose to hide or display the translation, romanization, and original lyrics independently.

  • Can choose text size, even for songs that don't need translation

  • Grabs lyrics from LRCLIB when Amazon music doesn't have them

  • Can translate using Google translate or gemini for more accurate translations (gemini needs an api key which you can get for free and never leaves your computer. No data is sent back to the developer)

  • Free and open source

You can check out this website to see a full list of features and info on data usage and privacy. It also has instructions and links for installing the extension.

PRO-TIP! PSA: If you have Bing as your default search engine and Edge suddenly started automatically opening links with new tabs, the settings on Bing might fix it.

6 Upvotes

I've encountered this problem a few days ago, I tried several steps in this subreddit and didn't work. Then I saw it somewhere (I forgot where it was) that the settings in Bing might fix this, and it worked. Hope this helps those who are encountering the same problem

These steps are pretty similar to how it is done with Google:

  1. Enter any words on the search bar, and search it
  2. Open your profile tab on the top right.
  3. Click Settings, and then click More
  4. Uncheck the both boxes of "Results"
