include browser version in user agent string
Microsoft Edge on windows does not include the version of the browser but only the version of layout engine:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.17763
The version should be 44.17763.1.0, since 18.17763 is the version of layout engine
I suggest something like:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/44.17763.1.0 (EdgeHTML 18.17763)

Emulation: Support emulation of popular iOS and Android devices
Our customers have an environment where most laptops run Windows 10 but most company phones are iPhones. Those who sport tablets have iPads and occasionally Android tablets. When developing for this device environment we have to consider emulation and only use real devices when testing. We are trying hard to adopt Edge as a development browser but with the current developer tools emulation only having Windows Phone devices out of the box our guys have to resort to custom configurations. Considering the market share of Windows Phone devices versus the market share of Android and iOS devices it doesn't make…

Option for ACTUAL request payload
The old version of this tool showed me the actual payload string but now shows the key/val pairs broken down and sorted alphabetically. This isn't useful for me any more. Please include an option to show the ACTUAL payload string as is built and sent.

We updated our system at work to Windows 10. At work we have the option of using old Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. because one of our software
Recently at work we upgraded to Windows 10. We still have the option of using Windows 8.1. Reason being our Software System that is pertinent to our business only works well with 8.1. There is another issue that I have found with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 when using simultaneously. In Windows 8.1 when you click on a link to a webinar, a video, or fill out a form or application where you have to hit a submit button to send. There are many applications that will not work by clicking on the link you have to open Microsoft Edge…

Show window size when resizing
This feature would show the current size of the Page (innerHeight and innerWidth) in a small label drawn in F12 as Edge is resized. The dimensions in the label would update as the Edge window is resized.

Do not close F12 Dev Tool window on site load and redirects
The F12 window gets closed when opening a website or during auth redirect, which makes it impossible to debug auth failures and JS errors happening during website initialization.

F12 emulation of slow network connections
This feature would enable the emulation of different network connections such as 3G, 4G etc... changing network throughput, latency and packet loss to match typical conditions for that type of network.
Proposed Design
- Impacts just the page being debugged
- Dropdown on emulation tool to select from the different connection options (exact list tbd)
- Fits in with the persistence of the rest of the emulation settings397 votes -
dark theme
Add optional Visual Studio-like Dark theme. Eyes work harder going from VS Dark to F12 Tools light hundred of times a day. Less fatigue, more productivity.

An Edge Extension that allows developers to create HTTP REST calls
As a SharePoint and web developer, I often have to create and troubleshoot HTTP REST calls. I would like to manipulate the querystring, headers and body as well as use different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and see the results.

Before and After Pseudo Elements
This feature would extend the DOM tree in the DOM Explorer to include pseudo element as selectable elements (as if they were real nodes) so that the styles applied to them can be applied.
Proposed Design
- Items appear in the tree surrounded by a delimiter that indicates the 'pseudo' (e.g. :before)
- The node is selectable and once selected the CSS styles panes should be updated to reflect the style of the pseudo element the events pane should be empty
- All of the commands that impact the tree should be disabled (cut, copy, paste, add attribute, delete, etc.)…

@media print emulation
There is currently, as far as I can see, no way to view the layout of printed document and the CSS styles that will be applied when printed. In Chrome you can choose to emulate @media print mode and inspect the document.
I am trying to debug why the text of a document printed from Chrome and IE11 has such wildly different text sizes but I cannot trace the font-size styles in IE to compare it to the font-size in Chrome.

Enable Migration of Password from Firefox/Chrome or at least via a XML file into Edge
Enable Migration of Password from Firefox/Chrome or at least via a XML file into Edge. Chrome/Firefox lets you export the password to a XML File and this can be used to import the same into Edge. This is the main thing that is keeping me away from using Edge.

PowerShell module
It would be awesome (and expected) to be able to interact with Edge using PowerShell. Automating the importing/exporting of favorites for example would be great.

Console: show web workers
Take a look at the Chrome console: You can switch the current context from the main thread to every web worker which got created. This is extremely useful for debugging workers.

Display non-enumerable object members in the console and Watches / Locals
This feature would mirror what Chrome DevTools has, where non-enumerable members of evaluated objects are displayed in the console and Watches / Locals. To signify they are non-enumerable, the member names are greyed out.
