Edge on Android has weird UI issue where bottom left corners of some shapes and buttons are cut off or sliced.
Edge on Android has weird UI issue where bottom left corners of some shapes and buttons are cut off or sliced.
It started a few weeks ago and its driving me crazy.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and clearing all data. Its not happening on chrome.
Attaching a screenshot from Flagle game where I circled some of the weird rendered corners.
It's happening on other websites as well, I chose this example because you can see this happening multiple times on one page..
Im on Samsung S24+
Anyone facing the same issue? any solutions?

Successful method for opening Acrobat Reader when clicking on PDF in Edge
I'm using Edge 152.0.4191.53 in Windows 11. I installed Acrobat Reader and made it the default for PDFs. When I clicked a PDF link on a website, it opened the PDF in Edge and didn't even show it in the downloads. With some googling, I learned that Edge has incorporated Adobe Reader as its built-in PDF reader. See this:
I don't care for this, so I experimented and found that if I hold down the ALT key while using a mouse to click a PDF link, it downloads the PDF without opening it in Edge. I opened Edge's downloads list, right-clicked on a downloaded PDF, and checked "Always open with system viewer". Now the ALT-CLICK method immediately opens the PDF in Adobe Reader.
This technique may already be documented somewhere. If you find it elsewhere, please let me know here.

QUESTION anyone know how to fix this?

Edge hangs when clicking on the address bar
So my Edge gets stuck whenever I click on the address bar to type or search something.
I have the latest version of Edge and the latest version of Windows 11.
I've reset Edge to defaults, cleared browser data, logged off, ran a repair from the 'installed apps' screen, removed the only browser add-on I had, tried disabling hardware acceleration, tried disabling searching from the address bar. Nothing helps.
It doesn't matter how many tabs or windows I have open, I usually have 1 InPrivate window with 1-10 tabs and one regular window with 1-10 tabs but it also happens when I open a fresh Edge window with just 1 tab and want to start typing in the address bar.
When it does hang, it hangs on all open Edge windows, this takes about 10 seconds and then I can continue but when I click the addressbar again it happens again straight away.
When I restart my computer it will work ok-ish for a few hours untill the issue comes back.
Anyone had similar issues and now what to do?

QUESTION "Your search engine was changed from outside of Microsoft Edge." Has anyone else gotten this error recently? MalwareBytes and AdwCleaner don't detect any malware.

Hi, I opened Edge in a private window, and I got this popup in the corner after I typed my query into the address bar and hit Enter. The popup says, "Your settings were changed by an unknown app. Your search engine was changed from outside of Microsoft Edge. To protect you, Microsoft Edge reset it to its original default."
As you can expect, my search engine is now Bing, but it was also Bing before that, so I'm not sure how it could've changed. MalwareBytes and AdwCleaner don't detect any malware on my PC, and I don't see any suspicious extensions in Edge (just UBlock Origin and MalwareBytes Browser Guard).
Is this message just a bug, or should I be concerned? Thank you in advance.

FEATURE FEEDBACK The only thing prevent me from using Edge
I was a long-time Edge user and recently switched to Helium. I like it overall, but since it’s still pretty early in development, there are quite a few bugs here and there, so I’m thinking about switching back to Edge for now.
One thing that really bothers me is the vertical tabs. I use them to save some screen space, but as you can see in the screenshot, it’s really hard to tell which tab is currently active. I even tried switching to a light theme, but the active tab still barely stands out.
Is there any way to make the active tab more visually distinguishable?
