Dear Microsoft users,

MICROSOFT EDGE IS THE WORST BROWSER I HAVE EVAH USED, AND I AM 103 SO I HAVE USED ALL THE BROWSES INCLUDING THE ORGINAL WORDLWIDEWEB IN 1989. MICROSOFT EDGE HAS TERRIBLE IMAGE FILTERING AND SUCKS BUTT. THIS WEB MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP DOWN A WELL. YOU CAN ENJOY IT BUT MY WISDOM AND LONG TIME ON THIS EARTH TELLS ME ITS TERRIBLE. GOOGLE IS THE BEES KNEES ITS WAY BETTER KIDS, MICROSOFT EDGE IS ALL WET. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THE DOUGH. ITS A BOONDOGGLE, AND IS A WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT, TO TRY AND USED IT. I LOST MY GREAT DOG SPENCER IN A CAR ACCIDENT 13 YEARS AGO AND I ASKED MICROSOFT EDGE FOR GREIVING METHODS AND IT TOLD ME I SHOULD FRY MY DOG. this is baloney I felt so offended, that I tried to get my great grandson, William to file a report but he said he couldn't because its a large coporation.

Sincerly,

Doris

Hello all!
My browser is currently set up so that when I launch Edge, it opens a group of my default tabs, including YouTube, which opens on the first video of a music playlist.
Currently I have to click onto this tab once in order to focus it and start it playing music but in an ideal world, it would start playing without me having to click on it.
Is something like this possible? Thank you all in advance!

I’ve been using Edge and really enjoy its features, but I noticed that uploading an image to WordPress is slow. I tested it on Firefox, and to my surprise, the image uploaded instantly.

What could be causing this? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to troubleshoot a rather persistent Microsoft Edge Sync issue with my personal Microsoft account (@outlook.de). I've been struggling with this for a while and would appreciate some input from anyone familiar with Edge Sync internals, MSA authentication or Microsoft's sync backend. Persists for multiple months now.

Environment

• Windows 11

• Microsoft Edge Stable 157.x (originally affected)

• Microsoft Edge Beta 158.0.4370.16 (installed for troubleshooting, same issue)

• Microsoft Edge on iOS (same issue)

• Personal Microsoft Account (MSA / u/outlook.de)

Important: The issue already existed on Stable 157. I only installed Edge Beta 158 after troubleshooting suggestions, to check whether this might be a version-specific issue. It made no difference.

Symptoms

• Signing into Edge works without any issues.

• Sync is enabled and consent is granted.

• However, synchronization never actually starts.

• The transport state remains permanently stuck at Initializing.

• No bookmarks, passwords or other data are synchronized.

The exact same problem occurs on iOS: signing in works, but synchronization does not.

Signing out and back in on iOS did not resolve the issue.

Edge Sync Internals

Here are the relevant diagnostic results from edge://sync-internals:

Summary

Property |Value
|
Transport State |Initializing
User Actionable Error |None
Disable Reasons |None
Sync Feature Enabled |true
Setup In Progress |false
Auth Error |OK since browser startup
Sync Account Type |MSA Authentication

Both authentication tokens are successfully requested and received:

MainSyncToken

• Last Token Request Result: OK

• Has Token: true

• Last Token Error: None

• Mapped Auth Error: None

KeyDataToken

• Last Token Request Result: OK

• Has Token: true

• Last Token Error: None

• Mapped Auth Error: None

MSA Account Key Status

This is particularly interesting:

Download Key Result: Success
HTTP Response Code: 200
Process Key Result: success
Set Key Result: Success
Key Count: 10

So downloading and processing the MSA account keys appears to work perfectly.

Encryption

Cryptographer Ready To Encrypt: false
Cryptographer Has Pending Keys: false
Encrypted Types: Uninitialized
Has Keystore Key: false
Passphrase Required: false
Explicit Passphrase: false

Sync Engine

Sync Service:
Last initial state: FeatureCanStart

Sync Engine:
Backend Status: Initializing
BlockReason: Stop
Syncer: ServerReturnTransientError

DataType Manager:
State: Stopped

Network / Server Errors

The sync log repeatedly reports:

HTTP error (503)

and:

Protocol error (TRANSIENT_ERROR)

The configured sync endpoint is:

https://edge.microsoft.com/sync/v1/feeds/me/syncEntities

The server environment reported by Edge is:

Prod_germanywestcentral_prod-s01-010-eur-germanywestcentral

Network Troubleshooting

I also checked basic network connectivity:

Test-NetConnection edge.microsoft.com -Port 443

Result:

TcpTestSucceeded: True

HTTPS connectivity works as well, although a generic HEAD request to the endpoint returns HTTP 400, which isn't necessarily meaningful.

No obvious connectivity issues have been identified.

Additional observation: Microsoft iOS client

I tested Edge on my iPhone using the exact same Microsoft account.

• Sign-in successful.

• Sync does not work.

• Signing out and back in makes no difference.

This makes a Windows-specific profile or installation issue considerably less likely.

Microsoft Support is also having issues

I attempted to contact Microsoft Support through Copilot, but even the support chat failed to initialize:

Chat init request failed: 504

The service behind this page isn't responding to Azure Front Door.

OriginTimeout

Obviously, this is a separate service and I cannot conclude that both failures share the same root cause. Still, it hasn't exactly made troubleshooting easier.

What I've tried / ruled out

• Edge Stable 157 → issue present.

• Edge Beta 158 → same issue.

• Windows network connectivity checked.

• MSA authentication confirmed working.

• MSA account keys successfully downloaded and processed.

• iOS Edge tested with the same account → same sync issue.

• Signing out and back in on iOS → no improvement.

I have deliberately NOT deleted my existing Edge profile or performed another server-side sync reset because I don't want to risk losing existing synchronization data without understanding the underlying issue.

My questions

1. Has anyone encountered this exact combination of successful MSA authentication, successful account key download (HTTP 200), but a permanently stuck sync engine?

2. Could this indicate an inconsistent server-side Nigori / Keystore state associated with my Microsoft account?

3. Is there a way to inspect or repair the server-side MSA Sync state without wiping existing synchronized data?

4. Are there any additional diagnostic logs or endpoints worth investigating?

5. Could someone familiar with Chromium's Sync Engine explain why the cryptographer remains uninitialized even though the MSA account keys are successfully downloaded and processed?

At this point, I'm leaning towards an account-specific or server-side Edge Sync issue rather than a local client or network problem.

Any ideas from Edge insiders, Chromium developers or Microsoft engineers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello Community,

Posting an update to my extension and not continuing it in the same thread because this is a huge update (and also ChatGPT recommended it!)

I had recently introduced HueMark a browser extension that would allow you to search six words or phrases simultaneously and now I would like to introduce an update v0.2.0 please read below for detailed update.

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/edge/comments/1xbmyyz/i_would_like_to_introduce_huemark_multiword/

• One of the biggest flaws in my design was that HueMark was always on by default for all tabs in a browser but now it has the ability to be switched on and off per tab and default will start as off. It is a minor inconvenience, but I hope users see the value in the change.

• Also, one permission request has been added for context menus it allows you to select a word or phrase and send it directly to HueMark as a search term from mouse right click.

• Also added copy mechanism where you can copy a snippet, sentence or paragraph which contains the sedarch term and it gets saved to you clipboard to paste wherever you want. First click scans the website or document and second click copies to clipboard for pasting.

• You can save up to 10 lists with 6 words each

• Added support for citations (does not support everything mentioned and need help with those that need work any one willing to step up to support this would be awesome!)

Download:

Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/huemark-multiword-high/kgfekpgoffpafdpopoeelmcnjdpgiakc

Major updates v 0.2.0

• Permissions: HueMark now asks for one new permission, contextMenus, so the browser may ask users to approve the update.

• Right-click "Add selection to HueMark".

• Per-tab on/off: Every tab now starts OFF, and you switch it on from the popup or the bar's power button. This replaces the global Enabled checkbox. Only tab numbers are kept, in session memory, so no sites or URLs are stored.

• Bar button: The bar's close button is now "Hide bar". It hides the bar and leaves the highlights on.

• Copy matches: One button scans and then clicking it again copies every hit as rich text or plain text, with context. It skips nav bars, sidebars and reference lists.

• Passage modes: Snippet, Sentence or Paragraph. Passages that contain several terms are grouped under one header.

• PDF.js update: The bundled PDF.js is now 6.4.299, up from 6.3.289.

• Wildcards and regex: * and ? work as wildcards, and /pattern/ is a regex.

• Scroll-bar ticks: There's a small marker for each match.

• Saved term lists: Up to 10 named lists you can reload.

• Accent search: "cafe" now finds "café" and "strasse" finds "straße".

• Simpler popup: The export and citation controls are in a collapsed "Advanced" section.

• Format presets: Matches, Citation, Legal, Research and Resume.

Does anyone know how to upload a custom profile picture from my hard drive in Microsoft Edge without signing in to a Microsoft account (i.e., when using a local account)?

I really don't like any of the 21 default avatars.

I've tried using various tools to unpack the following files:

- resources.pak

- msedge.dll

- msedge_200_percent.pak

- msedge_100_percent.pak

However, I couldn't find any of those 21 avatars in these files.

Also, based on my research, Edge actually has 42 default avatars in total, but I just can't figure out where they're stored.

The `Edge Profile Picture.PNG` file only seems to work when you're signed in to a Microsoft account. When using a local account, Edge completely ignores this file.

I've also heard that there's a startup switch called `--enable-features=msAvatarCustomizationAllowed` that might enable avatar customization, but it doesn't seem to work in my version of Edge Stable (v130.0.2849.80).

Does anyone know how to get this working, or where Edge stores its default profile avatars? I'd really appreciate any help!

I have been into tech a while ago. One of the parameters I consider mandatory to any form of technology is efficiency. That's why I have choosen Edge over other browsers. And it is the same reason I have been sending a lot of feedback through Edge's built-in tool. When I started doing it, for my surprise and satisfaction , the dev team did heard. I did not know what to do. So i got enthusiastic and kept on it. And Edge evolved a lot through user feedback.
So my first invitation is for you to start doing the same. The second, comes with a critic but an understanding of one feature they never gave us and I never felt heard : a clean NTP and no news agenda.
Now, I understand there is a business model behind every piece of software Microsoft does. And certainly there is a big profit in news delivery. But the bloated and biased MSN presentation is actually one of the pilars of the community hate towards the microsoft brand in general.
So I made something to change it. I created an extension to occupy the place of the native New Tab Page . Mainly for personal use. But as I am mostly happy on how the Edge team take on feedback, I decided to voice it. So you are invited to test the extension . But you don't have to adopt it. Just take a look at it. Decide wheter it is better suited for you than the default one and decide. If you see there is something that resonates with you: please SAY IT outloud

I'll post the link but avoid posting pictures so this does not pass as a self promotion. But I must say, its visual are appealing.
Upvote this, downvote this. Be free. As long as the decision comes from you.

Adding it manually doesn't seem to work either.

I am trying to do my schoolwork, and this incredibly distracting blue dot has shown up on any platform where I must type. How do I remove this? I think it is an Edge AI feature (EWW!!). Please help, it is distracting me from my typing flow and thinking abilities while using Google Docs.

Since the consolidation of the copilot app and m355 copilot app occurred and edge 157 update, a number of my devices are refusing to launch either copilot app.exe or msedge.exe with error 0x000007b. Uninstalling and reinstalling copilot fixes the copilot issue but as we are using edge for business it’s not allowing a repair or reinstall of edge to resolve and you can’t uninstall edge.

I have downloaded the msi to run a repair that way but that doesn’t work either. Only solution I’ve found for the edge launch issue is to download the 158 beta.

Excuse my ignorance on the topic, I’ve searched through forums and documentation, asked both copilot and ChatGPT for any insights but aren’t getting anywhere and I can’t see anyone else who’s had this issue.

Any help would be great, we are a hybrid domain with intune and on prem gpo management.

I have all the correct settings (I have used it for a long time) for the "Help me rewrite". But since the latest (few ?) edge update it's no longer to be found...

Am I the only one who lost the asset? 🤔

I was using my PC with an RTX 3060 perfectly fine with Edge, however there its a recurring issue with it and is that when visiting certain websites that has specifically a ton of ads on screen on them (some of the ones i use were it happens the most are "pcgamingwiki" and "chess online"), they could cause a black screen for a few seconds.

Its the same effect as if i changed the resolution or i minimized a fullscreen game that isnt borderless basically were your monitor displays the resolution and HZ too.

I tried to not pay attention to it for a long time but it is sometimes driving me crazy and i think not a ton of people had that problem.

Is there a solution?

Is there any actual way to completely obliterate this insanely irritating full screen banner? It is completely useless and seems perfectly designed to cover the UI and the actual webpage behind it (and sometimes it just gets stuck and wont disappear even when it should).

It’s such a minor thing but it’s so incredibly infuriating it’s genuinely pushing me to ditch Edge for good. Why on earth is there no simple toggle in the settings to disable this idiotic prompt? I get the whole screen spoofing security issue but you cant just treat users like complete idiots. There should be an easy way to just turn it off.

I have a simple white color theme with a picture for a new tab. When I open the new tab, I can see that picture...for 0.5 seconds. Then the picture becomes darker.

Can this be fixed? It wasn't like this before.

Attaching pics - the theme is settings with picture of correct color, first 0.5 seconds white background, and the darker version after that.

I build Konode, a browser sync extension with no Konode account and no Konode server. It syncs your bookmarks, open tabs, history and extension list to storage you already own (Google Drive, a GitHub repo, or any WebDAV server), with optional end-to-end encryption.

As of this week it's on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, with the same package as the Chrome Web Store.

Why you might want it next to Edge's own sync: you don't need a Microsoft account for it, your data sits in a folder you control, and Edge can share that folder with Chrome, Brave, Helium or Firefox on your other machines. If you only use Edge and you're happy with Microsoft sync, you probably don't need it.

Recent changes that matter on Edge

• On Edge 142 and later, bookmarks from your other devices no longer all land in "Other favorites".

• Keep bookmarks out of sync. Tick any folder or bookmark, in setup or in Settings → Data Types, and it stays on this device: never uploaded, never touched by your other devices.

• Tab groups travel with your open tabs. Restoring another device's session puts its tabs back into their groups, with names and colours if you allow it.

• Renaming a folder reaches your other devices properly, and folders that share a name stay separate.

• Restoring a session opens only the tabs you don't already have.

• A deletion that arrives in pieces can no longer slip past the bulk-delete guard.

If you already installed Konode in Edge from the Chrome Web Store, keep that install. It updates the same way, and a second install would join your sync group as a new device.

Most recent fixes came from user reports, so reports genuinely land. Happy to answer anything.

Suddenly this happens, when edge in full screen mode, any animation or action happens on the screen in full screen the screen goes black until no motion on the screen except for the mouse moving on empty space, for example, dropping down the toolbar will make monitor black. exit full screen everything back to normal.

i dont get it why this happened. i updated Nvidia drivers yesterday, did nothing else to the system, turned off pc went to sleep i woke up to this. i tried to turn off every extension, close all programs, updated edge to latest version, nothing seemed to temp fix this.

whats weird is i tried to record this with snap tool, the monitor didnt go black at all when recording.

any idea?
