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.

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.

Add copy link address / url to right-click menu
This is a somewhat common daily use case for me. It is difficult for me to save every image and then host it to share it.
Also, using the console commands to parse and filter the img URL is also difficult. E.g.
> $$('img').forEach(function(element) { console.log(element.currentSrc);});

remember htaccess login details
Edge can´t remember htaccess login details. Please add this feature. The workaround with IE is not very useful because i don´t want to use IE.

Get Browser History
How on earth do I go about getting Microsoft Edge's browser history programatically?
I don't care what language we use I just need a starting point. Every modern day browser has a database file that can be read.

Please keep loading indicator spinning while page is not fully loaded/displayed
Often when a page loads, loading indicator disappears very quickly, and I don't have visual feedback that somethings are being processed in background, I just get an empty page, and when I start to think that the link is dead or something else went wrong, page suddenly appears.
Please keep loading indicator spinning while page is not fully loaded/displayed

Add VTTCue and WebVTT support
WebVTT: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebVTT_API
VTTCue: https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#the-vttcue-interface
Supported by all other browser vendors in Chrome, FF, Safari.
Also implement ::CUE pseudo-element to enable support in CVAA.
Currently all player developers need to create their own subtitles/captions implementations due to browser having fragmented support in all of the above which makes supporting accessibility very hard and cumbersome.
Having you support this will ensure better interoperability.
Please consider migrating the solution to IE11 as well as you still have it on platforms which are widely supported and EOL is not near as it seems.Also opened as an issue in the platform tracker:

Support for Facebook
As of 21 october 2017. Edge still hangs on FB on direct messages.
This bug existed since 2015, and were never fixed.
Edge needs to be closed and restarted. Then its 50% chance its Facebook compatible. Perssonal messages on requires 2-3 restarts to work. Even more if you don't copy text before closing.1 vote -
landmark navigation
I would like to see a feature for navigating to "landmark regions" using the keyboard. Very similar to the way the F6 key works in the Windows Explorer (try it! :)
Landmark regions can be defined by the page author by either using ARIA landmark roles (http://w3c.github.io/aria/aria/aria.html#landmark_roles), or HTML5 elements that default to having landmark roles (see summary, below, for a list of these elements).
Note that the generic landmark role="region" - and its corresponding html "section" element - must have a label before it is considered a true landmark, whereas nav, aside, etc do not technically require…19 votes -
Implement overlay scroll bar (ms-overflow-style)
When switching between `overflow: scroll` and `overflow: hidden`, the <body> padding changed.
It is annoying, overlay scroll bar can avoid hack.I can use overlay scroll bar at IE (CSS), Chrome (flag), Firefox (add-on),
Edge should also.23 votes -

Fix Insufficient colour contrast of select box items in Windows 10
go to any website with a select box in IE11 or Edge on Windows 10
Click/tab to expand for options
The selected/active element has white text and light blue background, that has a contrast ratio of 2.9:1. That makes it inaccessible.
Resolution: Provide a darker background with higher contrast ratio

Edge mobile scroll bar is invisible on white / light background
The Edge mobile scrollbar default colour is white
If the page has a white background the scrollbar is invisible because it blends into the background
If the page has a black background, you can see the scroll bar normally
Please update edge so if the page background is white, the scroll bar is a different colour so it is visible and the contrast is ok.
This should be done automatically for any page we visit0 votes -

Improve default error style
When a page contains several input fields that have been marked as required, and the user submits the form, Edge will add a red outline on all fields, and show an error bubble next to the first field with an error (like most browsers).
It's possible for a website to use the :invalid pseudo selector to add their own styles. But if the field is shown with default styles, then it should be the case that "color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information", which is the case when the error bubble has disappeared.
This means…

Improve default focus style
The default "dotted outline" style for elements with focus (e.g. links), is not particularly easy to see, especially if you have poor vision.
Can this default be changed to look more like the focus style on OSX, which is a thick blue outline.
You can see the difference by changing the "normal style" and "focus style" radio field at the top of this page:

Mouse selection of text on a web page cannot be subsequently extended with the keyboard
Using touch, a user can create a selection, and little "grabbers" are rendered allowing the user to expand/contract the selection. However, this post-selection-adjustment feature only works for touch.
When using this mouse, the selection has no "grabbers".
In both cases, the keyboard cannot be used to adjust the selection. If, instead, I use Firefox or Chrome, the selection can be adjusted by using the keyboard "SHIFT" + arrow keys, to adjust the active selection.
Please bring this functionality to Microsoft Edge. It will also help with selection keyboard accessibility.
