Microsoft Edge Developer
Hi, are you a web developer or designer?
“No, I just want to share feedback on Microsoft Edge.”
Please use the Feedback Hub (requires Windows 10) to submit your feedback in the Microsoft Edge category. This site is for web developer and designer feedback only. Other feedback will be closed without action.
“Yes, I’m a web developer or designer with feedback for the Microsoft Edge platform.”
Great! This site is where the Microsoft Edge team collects feature requests from the web developer and designer community in the categories listed to the right. For bugs on existing features, please log an issue on the Issue Tracker.
Your feedback will help us with planning and to better understand how web developers and designers are using the platform. Top standards-based feature requests will also be copied over to status.microsoftedge.com, where you can track its development status.
For the most actionable feedback, please search and up vote for existing suggestions before submitting a new suggestion, and create a separate suggestion per idea. Note that off topic or inappropriate suggestions may be moderated. The Microsoft Edge team will use suggestions as an important input, but there are several additional factors that inform the final roadmap.

Actually renderingContext2D fillText and strokeText do not support embedded font kerning information in fonts.

Hi Microsoft peeps! I'm an owner, designer and Project manager for VirtualCaseManagement.com I KNOW browsers, our CRM has to work w/ 4 (

Our CRM works w/ 4 (Chrome, Edge, FF, Safari). I'd use Edge and would rather but can't based on two (2) issues.

WebGL Shader Binary Caching
Fairly trivial to implement, and Chrome does this well. Simply caching the shader binaries means subsequent compilations can be skipped and cached binaries loaded.
For web pages loading significant shader programs, this can be a huge improvement.2 votes -
OffscreenCanvas
From MDN: The OffscreenCanvas interface provides a canvas that can be rendered off screen. It is available in both the window and worker contexts.
From me: It would be great to prepare images and run WebGL without tying up the UI thread.

ImageBitmap
Support the ImageBitmap interface: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ImageBitmap
This includes createImageBitmap() with the options object (with settings like premultiplyAlpha). This is useful for better performance for preparing images for use in a canvas. In particular it helps speed up WebGL texture uploads, since the decode & premultiply step can be done asynchronously in advance instead of inside the texImage2D() call.It will also unblock other APIs like the "imagebitmap" rendering context and OffscreenCanvas.

Add the ability to use custom themes like chrome does or firefox does.
Give users the ability to use custom themes to truly personalize their Microsoft edge. I have been looking for a Clone Army 501st Legion Star Wars theme for the Longest Time.

Alert the user of a general problem with a particular website
A similar feature was already present in Google Chrome. When you access a site that is experiencing difficulties of access for multiple users an error message would be displayed informing you of the widespread problem affecting other users.
This feature would be interesting for developers and users that have to make sure that the problem is not related to the user, but the website.8 votes -
Better image scaling. No more jaggies for downscaled images!
Responsive websites typically send a larger version of an image and then scale it down to match the available space on-screen. This is especially important in mobile when the user can change screen sizes without a reload by changing from portrait to landscape, for example. Even the Microsoft websites utilize this kind of responsive design.
What does this have to do with IE? Well if you do this with IE the insane image scaling will provide images so jagged even the largest fonts become unreadable.
In earlier versions of IE we could use a nonstandard CSS property to switch to…

Progressive jpeg loading
When loading progressive jpegs as background images, nothing shows until the whole image has loaded. I thought the point of progressive jpegs was to show the low resolution scan first, then build up to higher resolution as the image loaded.

Support SVG 2 paint-order property
The SVG 2 paint-order property allows authors to control the order in which stroke, markers, and fill are painted for each shape, or for text. This can be used to create outlines that do not obscure fine details of shapes or text. It can also be used to create more subtle line markers that do not obscure the line itself.
The basic fill/stroke/markers options, as defined in the current draft of the specification, are already supported in Firefox, Chromium, and Webkit. They are therefore unlikely to change, although additional options may be added by future specifications.
55 votesThe paint-order property is now under development in Edge.
