Implement CSS `display: flow-root` (modern clearfix)
`display: flow-root` is a modern way to force a block to be a formatting context that floated elements are contained in (aka clearfix).
From the spec [1]:
> The element generates a block container box, and lays out its contents using flow layout. It always establishes a new block formatting context for its contents.
Tab Atkins and Elika Etemad (fantasai) from CSSWG consider the feature stable enough to be implemented [2].

Give Edge at least the same functionality as the product it replaced (IE)
Put the Favourites links back into the users' favourites folder on the desktop. The current location of Edge favourites' links is utterly ridiculous - the pathway is about a page long, and clearly intended to prevent users from directly managing their bookmark links the same way we could with IE. This is ****, and if MS had any sort of interest in their clients and user base, they wouldn't make such stupid, alienating, non-consultative decisions.
Fix this now, before we all choose Firefox instead !!!!!!1 vote -
Give Edge at least the same functionality as the product it replaced (IE)
Put back the toolbars and users' ability to customise them. You've really buggered up your own product here. What idiot approved development of a product that doesn't have at least the same functionality as the one it replaced? Edge may run faster, but your users have to waste their own time doing simple **** like printing, which is now no longer a simple click on a single button. Edge doesn't even preselect the buttons it does have. MS, stop screwing your user base and forcing us into other user friendlier apps.

Support Media Queries level 4 syntax improvements
CSS Media Quries Level 4 bring in a bunch of syntactic improvements. They make media queries much more readable and maintainable.
https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-4/#mq-syntax
Here's an example:
Before:
@media (min-width: 20em), not all and (min-height: 40em) {
@media not all and (pointer: none) {
…
}
}After:
@media ((width >= 20em) or (height < 40em)) and (pointer) {
…

Fixed header on tables with scrolling tbody

PLEASE put a "remember this decision" checkbox for Flash Player like Firefox
I could justify this all I want but in short: websites still use flash and some will never be updated. Some are for education as well. Just give us an option to enable the button/checkbox in the advanced settings.

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.

Edge pdf reader needs to remember where I left. When I start reading next time, edge should open the pdf where I left.
Remembering where I left is like a bookmark we leave in the last read page.

[EPUB Reader] single-column, scrollable chapters (an additional contents display option)
For the guide books that contain a lot of pictures (for example, various guides), the automatic switch between the single column and two column view is not parctical, because it keeps the figures relatively small. What's worse, sometimes the bottom part of the pictures is clipped by the bottom edge of the browser window.
See this sample EPUB guide: http://wjaworski.pl/inne/sample.epub
The solution, available in other EPUB readers (for example, in the iOS Ebooks) allows users to select the single-column, scrollable mode. It would be enough, if the reader shows the current chapter in this way (technically, chapters are the smallest…

Support navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap() API
An API that returns a map which translates from `KeyboardEvent.code` values into a strings that can be shown to the user to identify each key.
This is not possible with existing web platform APIs because the value that should be shown to the user depends on the keyboard layouts that the user has installed and active.
WICG incubation spec: https://wicg.github.io/keyboard-map/
Note: there is some overlap between this and a previous feature request https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/6508637-uievents-keyboard-query-apis
The previous request was based on an old proposal that is no longer being pursued in the standards bodies.

Don't steal my focus from a text box, especially if it's for a pop-up to make recommendations for things I may not want.
Don't take the focus from a text box or user entry when pop-ups show up. It make the user experience very annoying. It should leave the focus on the text box the user is using and/or actively typing in so that they can finish their standard task.

Make edge more one hand friendly on Android.
Edge on Android is freakin awesome, but a little more refinement will make edge even more enjoyable to use.
1. Move the home button to the navigation bar instead of having it at the to near the address bar.
2. Make the hub more easier to reach, It is up top which make it hard to reach on big phones.
3. On the tab page, bring the Tab selection header to the bottom.3 votes -
