Love it. Improve iPad version
Definitely my choice on Windows and iPhone. On iPad it seems limited, lacking several features that should be ported from the desktop, including reopen closed tabs and multiple user profiles.

Love the Read Aloud Feature but it is very buggy!
The read aloud feature is my favorite thing about this browser and it is the reason I find myself using it every day. The natural voices are top notch and there are no other apps that beat its quality!
However, the read aloud program is EXTREMELY BUGGY. Half of the time it doesn’t work for some reason or another. It will skip ahead, not play at all, or the app will completely freeze up. This has been an issue for months now and I hope it gets fixed soon. I usually have to close out the whole app a few different times and it will randomly start working again but it is very very annoying. Also, most web pages won’t allow reader mode for absolutely zero reason. It just won’t show up. If these issues are fixed the browser would be 5 stars!!! I know edge is still fairly new, so I’m sure they are working out all of the kinks over time. Don’t worry though, I will continue to use edge despite its faults. ❤️

Lazy Release Note Offender
Welcome to Microsoft Edge! Check out what’s new in this release: Nothing new. Still the same grind on bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes. How many bugs does this app have without introducing new features? I can’t believe you hadn’t introduced new functionality.
As far as I can scroll back in the release history here, for the past 4 months all I see is “bug fixes, stability and performance improvements”. While these are super important, and there was a feature intro to Copilot Pro 3 months back, there doesn’t seem to be coming any more functional improvements. Does that mean Edge has reached its edge😉 of functional extensibility? Is Edge as perfect as it get?
But if bug fixes, stability and performance is really all that’s on the table, then tell us users what you fixed, stabilised or where you improved performance. Repeatedly listing the same release notes without further detail is lazy IMHO.

Thursday 21 March lunch booking for 12 ‘oldies’
Efficient waitresses and a smile is good for business. The food was well presented and tasty and enjoyable. The house wine (pinot, merlot) was superb. Well done all the kitchen staff and waitress staff my friends in our walking group were very pleased and satisfied with their choice of food. We have been many times before - even stayed 1 night in the old bedroom ( and 2 little peacocks tapping on the window in the ‘old’ part of the hotel)
Keep up the high standard and hard work.
Kind regards
Irene and Mike Bracewell

Room for one more improvement
The inclusion of Copilot directly within the browser is a game-changer, providing quick and efficient assistance right when you need it. Additionally, the 'Speak Aloud' and 'Reader' features enhance the overall user experience by making content more accessible and easier to consume, which I've found to be incredibly useful. However, there's one improvement that could elevate this app to a perfect five-star rating for me: the option to move the address bar from the top to the bottom of the screen for better accessibility. This change would not only cater to a wider range of user preferences but also improve ease of use on larger devices. If Microsoft could introduce this feature into the settings, it would make an already great browser even more user-friendly. Overall, it is a robust and feature-rich browser that gets a lot done, making it a worthy choice for anyone looking to enhance their web browsing experience.

Increased productivity and usability
I’m butthurt I didn’t switch from safari years ago, gotta say this completely changes the game when it comes to browsing the web. I feel like I get information so much quicker. No more ads in the way, reader mode (which isn’t new to other browsers but safari doesn’t have it…), and my new favorite, read aloud articles. Read aloud has always been a cool concept, but was never good because of the annoying robotic voice. Here I can choose from many voices and they actually sound like a real person is reading the article to you. 5 stars and more! Oh one annoying thing is in dark mode it doesn’t show that you visited a particular website by changing the color or highlighting the link. Minor but an easy feature to add for convenience. I’m sure the developers just overlooked it by accident, and will get patched sooner than later.

Stupid is as stupid does
Won’t let me leave a true remark about useless unions. Microsoft must be a ysesless union run group.
I like the ease of adding sites to my phone! Gives me ideas!
I like to cook. I’m an old fashioned cook who could teach others??? I love to bake! I love to sew. Today I started to repair my old quilt, a lap blanket. I cut off the worn out ends, ended cutting off all four sides. I’m replacing with blue border which I’m making free hand. I estimated width of blue cotton material needed for the borders. With each side I tore the lengths of fabric by hand . It tears easily because it’s a good cotton blend. I pinned the edges and will take some of the pins off before I sew on the machine. I left enough extra length to the sides so that the corners will match.
This quilt is a very old quilt given to me by my friend Pam! She was going to throw it out because the edges were ragged. I used it for a while, but now it was time to repair. I’m using contrasting fabric because I want to emphasize the old and the new. This quilt was quilted by hand. It would be impossible to make invisible repairs!
Stay tuned……

Great Browser
Amazing browser, it’s smooth and easy to use. A few things I would like to see is the ability to change the Home Screen wallpaper and having a home page button to go from a browser page to the home page.
Good but could be better.
Why does the address bar appear in middle and then JUMPS to the top when selected to enter a web page?! If you move it to the top then put it to the top from the beginning. Apart from that it Works ok but opening new tabs always in private mode would be good.
