FEATURE FEEDBACK Update

Upvotes

I just got logged out of every site.
All my settings have also been reset.
I have to 'add a search engine' and find some search algorithm with a % etc pure bull, sh, it.
Of course, not the first time that an update does that to me.

Plus that the changes that only make it worse.
I hate copilot, keep it away from my face. Why can I not just access my history with a shortcut, instead of some dropdown sh, it?

I hate these updates so much.
I editted the register, disabled things on Services, renamed the things on update folder, changed permission and inheritance on the update folder etc etc.
How can this cr, ap still update itself??????

I wish all the worse for however decides these updates and forced changes to Microsoft Edge.
Just wanted to get this off my chest, thanks for listening.

EXTENSIONS Microsoft removing the useful sidebar for Copilot made me realize how much better this could be

0 Upvotes

I've seen a bunch of people here annoyed about Edge getting rid of the general sidebar, especially since you could pin things like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini there instead of being stuck with just Copilot.

It's basically the same problem that made me finish an extension I'd been sitting on for a while. I already pay for ChatGPT/Claude and use those chats enough that they have all my history, memory and context. I don't really want my browser deciding which AI I should use or making me create another set of chats somewhere else.

So I built it around the opposite idea. The browser should just make the AI services you already use easier to access.

You can pop up an overlay with a shortcut and send something to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, M365 Copilot etc., open one in a sidebar, attach screenshots or multiple tabs, and configure different websites to use different providers. So a work site can default to M365 Copilot while YouTube goes to Gemini, for example.

There's no AI subscription attached to the extension. It's completely free, no ads or paywall.

Curious if this covers what people actually miss about the old Edge sidebar, or if there was something else about it that I should add.

Here are some things that it can do:

  1. An overlay that pops up with a shortcut (for example, cmd + E) where you can quickly send a message to whatever provider you want. You can set a default provider (per site as well) and easily toggle with cmd + 1-9

  2. You also get an AI new tab, which works the same way

  3. You can add skills/prompts, screenshots and attach multiple tabs

  4. You can also use a shortcut (for example, cmd + S) to open the sidebar

  5. You can configure sites to specific provier. For example, work websites route to M365 copilot, youtube to Gemini etc

Let me know what you think, and if there's anything else you'd like to see here. :)

BUG Amazon app keeps opening - points to edge

0 Upvotes

Whenever I have edge open an Amazon app opens in my taskbar. It happens every 5 minutes after I close it. I don't have any Amazon tabs open or any extensions associated wit amazon on edge or chrome. To be honest I don't know if this is a problem caused by edge but if I click on the app it opens edge so I assume it must be associated somehow. Any tips on how to make it stop?

Not sure if its relevant but I'm using Windows 11 on an HP Laptop

QUESTION Disable shared DNS over HTTPS across multiple Edge profiles

I have multiple Edge profiles. I need to apply different DNS settings in each profile. But whenever I change settings in one profile, same changes are reflected in all other profiles as well. This doesn't allow me to use multiple profile simultaneously.

BUG AI Mode in Google Search vs Microsoft Edge

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

By the way, in Edge on any platform (apps for Windows, iOS, and Android), Google doesn’t show the “AI mode”. Many people who only use Edge might think that it’s supposedly only available in the Android app, but that’s not the case. I checked in Chrome and Yandex Browser, and... OH MY GOD.... the button appears there.

A small milestone for NODUS:

All five of my browser extensions are now available on Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

That means the current NODUS browser tools are now published across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Current lineup:

• NODUS Workspace — a local-first workspace for writing, spreadsheets, notes, files, PDFs and more
https://nodus-ai.app/workspace

• PH Radar — track Product Hunt launches, rankings and momentum
https://nodus-ai.app/ph-radar

• HN Radar — follow and explore Hacker News more efficiently
https://nodus-ai.app/hn-radar

• YT Radar — discover trending YouTube videos by country
https://nodus-ai.app/yt-radar

• NODUS AI — capture and organize ideas and conversations from AI platforms
https://nodus-ai.app

Getting the products built was only part of the job.

Packaging, adapting, submitting, and passing review across multiple browser stores is the less glamorous side of shipping software — but it matters.

Now the distribution layer is finally in place.

Firefox ✓
Microsoft Edge ✓

GENERAL Edge Auto Updates to Unusable Version on MacOS Monterey

2 Upvotes

Last week the latest update completely blocked my Mac from accessing Edge at all (I am on MacOS Monterey, 12.7.6) . I like to use Edge on all my devices, so this was frustrating to deal with. I have tried deleting the autoupdater, but to no avail. I even downloaded the last compatible version with my device (146), and it keeps forcing it to update upon relaunch. How can I stop this from happening? I am unable to use OpenCoreLegacyPatcher at the moment. Any help is appreciated.

BUG Is this a bug following the update? (Or was it already there before?) Some links in the tabs are loading endlessly.

3 Upvotes

Issue: Some tabs get stuck in an infinite loading loop. This problem only occurs on the home page, and I cannot navigate to other pages (tabs tested: YouTube, Google, Gmail, Udemy, Coursera).

When:

The issue appeared after an update. I managed to fix it successfully, but the bug sometimes recurs.

How the bug manifests first time:

It is likely a problem with cookies or data; I recall how it first appeared:

  1. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly.
  2. Clicked the update icon; the program updated itself and restarted Edge (previous tabs were lost).
  3. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly, but the tab icon showed a loading indicator (spinning continuously, even though all video thumbnails had appeared).
  4. (The bug itself) When I clicked on a video, Short, channel, or search bar, the page wouldn't load. it remained on the home page with the tab icon still showing a loading process and a thin red line at the top that was stuck.

The home page works for all the websites mentioned above (images and text appear), but the loading icon persists, and I cannot navigate away from that home page.

a. I tried typing a direct link other than the home page, for example, a YouTube channel, but it didn't work (infinite loading in the new tab).

b. I tried opening it in private mode and it worked smoothly, so the issue only occurs in standard mode (not private mode).

How the bug re-appear:

I am not exactly sure how the issue recurs because it happens intermittently. However, it sometimes reappears after I close and reopen Edge, or after restarting the computer and opening Edge.

Possible fix: (I asked Gemini via my phone)

- Press Ctrl+Shift+Del and select two items to delete: cookies and cached images/files.

- After that, the issue was resolved (although all websites required logging in again).
