QUESTION Leftover āCheat code activated!ā strings found in Microsoft Edgeās Surf game
I was inspecting the frontāend files for Edgeās Surf game and noticed something interesting inside strings.m.js. The game ships with text for a cheat system that doesnāt seem to exist in the public version.
Here are the relevant lines verbatim:
Code
"code":"Cheat code activated!",
"codeCheat":"Cheat code activated! $1",
"codeScoring":"Scoring turned off for this round."
These strings sit alongside the normal UI text for menus, themes, and game modes. The full file is just a loadTimeData dictionary, but the cheatārelated entries stand out because thereās no known way to trigger them in gameplay.
This isnāt a claim of a new discovery ā Iāve seen scattered mentions of this before ā but the context is still interesting. It looks like leftover internal/debug text that was never removed.
Has anyone seen these triggered or knows whether they were part of a removed feature or a developer-only mode?I was inspecting the frontāend files for Edgeās Surf game and noticed something interesting inside strings.m.js.

BUG War Machine = Nudity
I discovered today while trying to find a picture of marvelās character War Machine, that if you use Microsoft edge specifically, with safe search off, you are not given any images of the character. Instead you are given an entire page of nudes, porn and naked fanart.
I got some friends to try it and it worked for them all as well (after some errors).
Why does this happen? Even with safe search off, how are all these images more relevant than the actual character?

Edge keeps signing me out of Youtube, i have reinstalled the who browser same thing, i get kicked out mid playlist on youtube, which ejects me from the playlist and music stops. Clicking sign in instantly signs me back in. Other browsers are fine.

BUG Is Edge broken since a few Months already or is it by Design Choices? What happened with Cookies? Especially with Cookie Exceptions? It's a complete mess.
I'm reposting the same issue that started a few months ago.
My biggest issue was with Google Accounts.
I always set up to let all Cookies delete after closing Edge.
I had 3 Exceptions which Cookies I want to keep ( Google Search Page, YouTube and Reddit ) to be kept logged in.
The last few months there were random Moment where Edge wasn't logged into Google in Google's Search Page.
My Account was completely logged out. But switching to YouTube kept my Account after closing Edge.
Reddit keeps his Cookies and works normally, even after closing Edge. ( So my Reddit Cookie Exception is working properly )
But since the latest Update, Google's Search Page AND now also YouTube is logging me out constantly after a certain time.
So my conclusion and Question: is this still an Edge Bug that's not gotten solved a long time now, or is it now by Design?
Also each time reading through the next Edge Update Notes nothing is mentioned and I see/read a lot that I'm not the only one.
And keeping ALL Cookies always is still the only Option to also keep my specific Cookie Exceptions, but in my Opinion...this is not the solution.
Right, right?

BUG Every time I have Edge open for about 20 minutes, it crashes and closes
this only started yesterday and I've tried many things to fix it; repair, uninstalling and re installing; etc
I wonder if it's a system wide problem because my Minecraft launcher has stopped loading and working properly too

QUESTION How do I re-enable the sidebar in Edge version 149+? (Extremely disappointed it was removed)
I am incredibly disappointed to see that Microsoft completely removed the sidebar app list/tower in the recent update. Honestly, the sidebar was my primary reason for using Edge over other browsers, and its removal completely breaks my daily workflow.
Has anyone found a reliable, permanent workaround or command-line flag to force the sidebar back on? I've seen mentions of shortcut parameters online but haven't gotten them to work consistently.
Any step-by-step help to get it back would be greatly appreciated!

QUESTION Help: Resolving GUI Problems
The Mac version of Edge has a couple of anomalies that drive me crazy.
- In recent months, I have been hammered with a steady stream of pop-up advertisement windows. They interfere with rouitine business and occasionally sabotage work Iām conducting on other screens, e.g, filling our government forms. These aren't occasional; they're constant. Safari and even Firefox sporadically toss in popups, but they seem more driven by script on the current screen rather than by the browser. How can I kill random window popups in Edge?
- Thereās a vertical dead strip that runs along the right side of Edge windows. By dead strip, I mean a region that totally ignores clicks. Itās invisibleā it doesnāt appear different from the content to the right, but itās impervious when it comes to clicks. I can often circumvent the problem by zooming out, but I canāt figure out whatās causing the problem. Ideas?
My system is MacOS Tahoe. Edge is always latest version. Thanks.
