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

[Gangelo]

No I haven't, great idea, just reported them to MS.
An example is this site: AskVG - Windows Tips, Troubleshooting and Customization
Fonts are a lot smaller when displayed in Stable, no such problem with Beta, Dev or Google Chrome stable.
Hope other members can confirm this with Stable?

I had the same issue.
As Pat MacKnife mentioned above, check the font settings and change it to the recommended value.

Thanks @Pat MacKnife and @Gangelo Will check that later when returning from work.
Thanks @bjm_ for reminding me of the power of sharing information.

Now that reminds me ... a few months ago i think i had that too and choose again for 100% and set type font (recommended)

I just have noticed that Stable utilizes the same Chromium build as Dev...

I had these problems and can confirm it was the font setting. For some reason it was set to custom...

I see no difference in all 3 browsers (stable, dev and Google chrome), they are all the same font size.
I think you should check in settings and reset fontsize at 100%

Same here, font size is the same on both Edge-Chromium Stable & Dev

And off course you were all right, for some reason it was set to custom
Thank you MalwareTips

Is that South African? I have a school mate from South Africa, really love their naming of new words from other languages. The Dutch are lazy in language, we have a lot of English, German and French words. Flemish (Belgians) use more 1-to-1 translations, but South Africans even beat the Belgians. I really love your "onder oksel fris" for deodorant (which lazy Dutch just call deodorant).

P.S. when you from SA, good luck tomorrow morning in the world cup

What it has over Chrome or other Chromium clones?

One small step removed from the Google data vacuum... Yea it's Microsoft, but I'm already buried with Win10.

Issue with sync came up after installing the latest build (Official) on another PC. Even after installing and connecting to my Microsoft Account, bookmarks did not sync to the new installation. Ever. I reported this via Feedback to MS.

Excellent. Users need to keep M$ Edge folks on the ball.

Migrated from Dev to Stable... I had too much invested in Dev and browser/extension configs/flags were tediously copied/pasted from Dev to Stable.

Apart from bookmark migration, I didn't see an obvious way to do this and was uncertain about

I believe you could have synced with a M$ account. Sign in Dev> Install Stable>Sign In Stable. ???

Probably, but I'm content not to sync with Microsoft/Google. Would have liked a config export feature.

You could submit the feature 'config export' request to the Insider team. I'm the same way here. I just do it manually. Plus, I don't need all the same bookmarks on mobile that I use I desktop.

Good idea! Done.

Two months or so, glad I don't have to hold my breath I did think final would be sooner than that but we do have the icon at least that's something? MS are the masters of suspense, final will be nice but not much different from what we have - With the roll out on the PC's with 10 on it has to be right, just hope I'm still alive & kicking next year lol
