This is great, been using Edge for a year or two now and it really feels like Microsoft doing their best to make it a special browser

Having Office in the sidebar to access Word / Excel / PowerPoint is really good. I really liked those filters. Up until now, I've been clicking OneDrive in my web browser, then clicking through files and folders as if I was in File Explorer. This takes a lot of friction out of using office online. Thanks for the update.

Great updates! Please show best practices with Collections vs. the new favourite feature vs. favourites.

I don't really see the value of the sidebar when I already have essential apps pinned to the task bar. What I would really like to see in Edge is the ability to multi-select text on a web page (like one can do with Firefox and others) for note-taking.

Hey Mike, quick question. So as you probably know new outlook does not support swipe actions but the "mobile" version available as the edge extension and the side bar app does. However neither of these mini apps supports updating swipe options like the full mobile version of outlook does (e.g. using archive when swiping left, etc...) this is a major missing feature on Surface devices and the only reason I still have to use the mail and calendar client. Any idea if this will be put into these mini apps or even better will the desktop outlook get touch capabilities (it actually had it for one build a few years back but then was taken away :) Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hey, I have a question about Microsoft edge, when I highlight a word or a text a mini pop-up screen appears with the highlighted text. that gives me the option to click on it in order to search the browser for more information about the word or the text. I would be glad to know how to disable that option because it sometimes hides the other words or the text itself.

On windows 11 with 22h2 latest update and Microsoft Edge version 107.0.1418.35 --- The "Instant Answers" is not working. Can you tell why?

Always with the best contents!!
It is said that this browser takes up a lot of RAM memory.
Is that true?

Hi how to enable mesh avatars in Microsoft teams

[Lazzerman]

so we have a new favourites bar - vertically... earlier this kind of "bars" was installed by shady companies...

I'm worried about adding options to a browser. A browser is a browser, not a content recipient or a launch box or whatsoever. Stay simple should be the way. Reduce memory impact and get snappier.

Wh I have just 6 apps in the sidebar to activate? No youtube or something else.
