Serious Discussion Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download

[oldschool]

Did install my new system a week ago and everytime i start edge browser after boot, it seems im signed out of the browser and i have to manually login. Anyone else has this problem?

I don't sync and never sign in so I can't help you, my friend.

It's fine for me but I have seen people complaining about it on Reddit regularly over the years. It seems to happen to quite a few people but not to everyone. The last time I reinstalled Windows was in March 2023. It's not impossible that I'll have this problem if I reinstall windows again because in my experience, almost all the people who had this issue are new Edge users or installed Windows recently. I would lose my mind if it happened to me because syncing is essential for me.

Anyone else notice the favorites icon drop down is black instead of grey (if you use dark mode)? It happened with yesterday's update. Don't like it.

I don't use the Favorites button, I use Tidy Bookmarks instead. Much more configurable

Just noticed right now after reading your post, I think it is a bug, because all others drop-downs are gray.

Microsoft is discontinuing rounded tabs in Edge

In Microsoft Edge 128, which was released in the Stable Channel this week, Microsoft changed the description of the flag responsible for toggling on the rounded tabs feature. It now explicitly states that the ability to enable "floating" tabs with rounded corners is on its way out:

Changes browser tabs into rounded buttons. This feature will be discontinued soon. – Mac, Windows, Linux

Microsoft is discontinuing rounded tabs in Edge

If you are a fan of rounded tabs in Microsoft Edge, bad news: the company is about to discontinue them.

Microsoft Edge release notes for Stable Channel

"Enhance videos in Microsoft Edge" feature was removed from my Edge after the last update. Now I have to enable, "Microsoft Video Super Resolution" in edge://flags to make it appear. Found the solution here which is from February. Don't know if it's a bug or if they are randomly removing it from settings by default.

Solution on answers.microsoft.com

Is the option still there by default for other MT users?

No, it's gone. Saw a thread about it few days ago on reddit too.

Saw that a few days ago, as I check out flags page every couple of updates or so.

No, it's gone. Saw a thread about it few days ago on reddit too.

Which I can verify here.

It's odd that it's only behind a flag now since it works very well on my system. Make any videos look better.

Except when you have no dedicated GPU, as in my case.

Does it have any effect if you don't have an Nvidia GPU?
