Provide a single web browser that can support legacy enterprise applications as well as modern web development practices and features.

Internet Explorer continues to be the most used browser even on Windows 10 PCs at the enterprise I work for. This is a problem when I reach for modern browser APIs and features since IE stopped advancing when Edge came on the scene. A comparison of IE 11, Edge 18 and Chrome 73 paints a picture: https://caniuse.com/#compare=ie+11,edge+18,chrome+73

I realize maintaining IE's backwards compatibility blotted it over the years but hey, it comes with Windows so it doesn't really matter. If the Edge team still wants a light weight, edgy, browser for mobile devices and the like good on you but please make advancements available to IE users in an intuitive way that doesn't require jumping between different browsers. Perhaps this could be accomplished similarly to the FF and Chrome sandbox extension that uses Edge behind the scenes. People don't care how things work, only that they work.

Hindsight:

In 2015 Internet Explorer was finally starting to act like a modern browser and then Edge appeared, and development of IE ceased, except to address security issues. At the time I was excited for Edge but I did not anticipate the impact it would have on IE or that IE would have such staying power in the enterprise.

The existence of "Open in Internet Explorer" is a terrible user experience and demonstrates that there is something wrong, both from a web developer's perspective and end-user's.

The similarity of the Edge and IE logo is a problem for regular people who don't care about technology, they care about getting their jobs done. Most people think they are getting Microsoft IE re-branded when they open Edge and just expect things to work, but certain enterprise applications don't work because it only works in IE. Why billion dollar companies cannot update their software to support modern practices is beyond me but this is the reality we live in, and the last 4 years demonstrate that no effort on Microsoft's part can compel those companies to change.

* I originally named this "Merge Internet Explorer and Edge into the same product" but I didn't think it would catch on.

Please make Google Translate Extension work with Edge Chromium
Make Google and Bing Translate have right-click context menu for ease of use
Reduce the spacing in Extension icons that are next to the address bar - too big

Make extensions that are hidden in the menu not to come back to the tool bar, after you have disabled a different extension - what stays in the menu, stays there and doesn't come up unless you choose to bring it up

Please consider replacing the word Favourites with Bookmarks

Please change the Loading Icon animation/GIF that appears on top of the tab - it leaves you with a feeling of slowness as the page loads - make the circular movements move faster (Give a sense of fast speed) or change them to two dots that have a linear motion as they appear on firefox or remove the connected circular moving dots - let it be a continous circular line like that of Chrome - please, please, please - give this your consideration - don't give users any appearance of slowness

There's a lag on YouTube, at times, when you open a YouTube video page, video loads up to about even 30 seconds, but the video doesn't play at all, unless you refresh

When you open two YouTube pages, it loads slowly or lags because of the second page - if you switch to the second page, you find that the page was trying to load, when you close it, the first page starts playing without a lag - make it possible to open two or more YouTube pages without the lags even when your internet connections is fast - I use Iridium chrome extension and Video Speed Controller, so am not sure if its the extension or it's Edge browser

Microsoft, if you love your users and want more people to use edge and adopt it - CHANGE THE ICON FOR EDGE BROWSER - it should not look or have any resemblance to the old Internet Explorer - IE is a big turn off, it feels like you're using an old resurrected browser that has had a bad reputation - Give it some sense of new browser and you will see more people adopting it.

(I believed URIs and request-lines are part of networking. If this is not true, please move this to the correct category.)

Currently, Microsoft Edge supports up to 4,035 octets in the URIs with query strings, or somewhere around that length. Chromium-based browsers can handle up around 8,000 octets in the URIs with query strings.

I don't know if the information above is based on the RFC7230, Section 3.1.1, where they defined that request-lines and URIs max length to be at least 8,000 octets long at minimum or if the fact it is based around the max length determined from there. But I do want to say Chromium-based browsers can handle this much long URIs with query strings.

I would like to request for Microsoft Edge to clarify the max length of URIs and query search strings, and if the transition to a Chromium-based engine would affect this limitation.

If it will be improved or is under consideration, I would like to request so Microsoft Edge is made to handle URIs with query strings at least 8,000 octets long, matching the capabilities of other Chromium-based browsers.

Thank you.
