Force older versions of Internet Explorer to automatically update.

It would be great if IE could be started as a headless browser (like PhantomJS) for running unit tests, taking screenshots, measuring load time, etc without having a browser window pop up. Running automated tests on IE often fails because the browser either fails to start up or shut down properly. With a headless browser multiple browser instances can be run in parallel without taking up screen space.

I want to open edge from a command line in inprivate mode and also want a setting that allows me to make all tabs that open inprivate

So we can help you improve like we do with the Chakra Engine

IE falling behind before it was released. All major browsers has release cycles less than IE has between announcement and release.
Also, old version do not get updates.
Drop version from name and start actively supporting IE.

Please add support for the Public-Key-Pins HTTP header so that we can pin public keys.

Traditionally, MSHTML (a.k.a. Trident) could be used to parse and process HTML, making applications such as pulling, sorting, de-duplicating news feeds possible. It would be great to be able to use the new HTML5-compatible EdgeHTML engine for this purpose.

COM is a great interface for all kinds of Windows apps to access Microsoft Edge. By providing COM access, Windows-based automation, including .NET (C#/VB/PowerShell etc.) and native C++, with Microsoft Edge is possible. At this time, InternetExplorer.Application object cannot be used to access EdgeHTML, so please expose COM for Windows developers!

Edge is supposed to be UWP!? Then why can't I choose it as the assigned app when setting up an Assigned Access Account in Windows 10 Pro? Edge really needs to support this Windows 10 feature. We are currently forced to download a third party browser app from the store to use a browser in this mode.

Allow to open local files from the command line when Edge is not the default browser.

start microsoft-edge:file:///c:/test/test.html

The WebBrowser control is a commonly used control in desktop application development. (e.g. It's a key component of the Dynamics CRM Universal Service Desk application)

There is no way to use the EdgeHTML as the rendering engine for this control (only IE/Trident is available).

Although JavaScript heavy applications (such as Dynamics CRM) work in IE, they perform significantly better in Edge.

Making these performance gains available to users of desktop applications would dramatically improve their user experience.

We now have json preview (at least in Spartan) https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-internet-explorer-platform/suggestions/6509717-preview-json-response-in-browser?tracking_code=edea88fcd53ce1633f5178bcb66228b0. Can we also have pretty print? New user voice request as suggested here https://twitter.com/JustRogDigiTec/status/587801304493244416

A user-agent should act to protect its user's best interest. ITP is a sensible compromise between no privacy and ad-blocking since it enables advertising without abandoning data protection. Since there is no existing standard, Edge could experiment with an approach different from ITP, but it's a good starting point (and does not break the Web).

All other browsers allow cookies to be specified with a max-age property that replaces the expires timestamp. This allows servers to have cookies that work regardless of the clock skew on an end users computer.

I'd like to spin up VMs on demand with the latest versions of Selenium, but the vagrant VMs offered by Microsoft are out of date (newer versions can be downloaded from the modern.ie site), and don't offer WinRM for configuring without manual intervention. Improve support for vagrant, and us testers can start to do cool things with testing IE and Edge!

Since Edge driver depends on windows 10 build version, is there any chance for the Edge driver to get shipped with windows 10 builds. something like it gets shipped natively like the native calc.exe in the system32 folder...

This would help a lot with automating test infrastructure...

Internet Explorer, along with every other desktop browser, used to support bookmarklets. These lightweight, easy-to-develop scripts can run on any page and provide valuable functionality to users.

Edge no longer supports bookmarklets.

Surely this is one of the reason that some users refuse to move to Edge, and still use MSIE 11.

The IE tabs are crashing and unreliable. I dont want to loose my work so I have to use other browsers.
STR:
1. Open 1-10 tabs
2. Start closing them one by one
at some point some it starts crashing. If not, start again
