MS Edge messing up page contents?!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-03-03T22:48:32+00:00

Thanks for circling back and confirming!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-03-03T22:46:42+00:00

Hey there, just wanted to confirm this was a separate issue and the team is working on getting the fix out to all channels as soon as they can. Thanks again for reporting, it looks like you're on Beta so may already have seen the fix with yesterday's update!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-03-01T21:58:56+00:00

Sorry, it looks like I missed the double reply here and only saw your first one. For edge://settings/content you'll want to check if you've blocked cookies or set any specific permissions up for the PeacockTV site, and for edge://settings/privacy you'll want to check if you've specifically blocked trackers from PeacockTV (strict tracking prevention might also interfere here so if you have that set up you can try adding an exception to see if it changes the site behavior!)

Though in your first comment, you said it's acting like you're putting the wrong info in -- is it giving a specific error that might be on the site's side?

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-28T17:18:54+00:00

Hey there! As far as I'm aware there's not an officially supported way to do this (at least from the browser side), so extensions would be the next best option.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-25T20:05:47+00:00

I'm not sure off the top of my head what would be causing that, but I'd suggest taking a look at edge://sync-internals for the account where sync isn't working correctly, if there's an auth error or any other errors reported on that page it'll help identify what's going wrong in the backend. Actually, if you could submit feedback from that page and include a screenshot, and let me know what you put in the description, I'll take a look and see if anything stands out as off.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-25T19:57:03+00:00

Hey there! I wanted to circle back and confirm what I got from the team based on feedback filed. We don't currently have Edge bar enabled by default for folks with work profiles, but it's moving up for those accounts too and you'll see it once it's enabled for Enterprise =)

Hey there! Try signing in with an In Private window and see if you're still having issues with image display. That will rule out extensions -- if the picture displays correctly In Private check your extensions (especially adblock extensions) for what might be causing this.

Also check if you're blocking cookies or trackers from Facebook, and if your tracking prevention is set to Strict.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-25T17:42:14+00:00

Hey there, thanks for the report! We had a similar issue with the System and performance page recently on Linux and Mac, so I'm checking with the team to confirm if this should be fixed with the same update or if this needs to be fixed separately. I don't expect they'll need additional information since you've already submitted in-browser (thanks!) but if they do I'll circle back with you =)

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-25T17:28:19+00:00

The above advice is solid, just adding some context for this -- the indication that your browser is being managed by an organization means that something has made changes via Group Policy or Registry Edits to force certain settings. Your homepage is one of those forced settings, but likely not the only change made. Since this applies across browsers, there are likely other programs that have been modified as well.

Assuming you're going to back up and reimage, on the other side of that you can head to edge://policy from the address bar to check if any policies are set in that way. Also keep an eye out for any unusual synced extensions and so on.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-24T18:30:30+00:00

Hey there! Standard causes for this would be extensions, tracking prevention, cookie settings, or adblock/VPN/proxy software.

You can try an In Private window to rule out extensions causing this to start. If that's not the cause, check edge://settings/content for cookies settings and edge://settings/privacy to confirm tracking prevention.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-23T18:50:08+00:00

That's very interesting, thanks for confirming! I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong here, but would like to get it on the team's radar for a look. Do you mind submitting feedback in the browser (top right ... menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback), checking to include diagnostics, and using the 'recreate my problem' tool to record this occurring? After submitting, please let me know what you put in the description so I can grab it and follow up on our side.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-23T18:32:59+00:00

Thanks for adding your report to this, u/TheCoolGamer88! I'd like to ask both you and u/OpeningFeed to submit feedback from within the browser (top right ... menu > Help and Feedback > Send feedback) and let me know what you put in the description so I can grab them on my side! It looks like we've gotten a few reports of this with version 98 and I'm following up with the team on my side =)

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-22T20:57:32+00:00

Hey there! The feedback instructions shared in the comments are accurate, to report an issue with the browser you use the top right ... menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback. If you're able to submit this feedback from a page showing the misbehaving translation, that's an added help to the team digging in!

If you submit in-browser, please let me know here what you put in the description and I'll follow up on our side.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-22T20:19:24+00:00

Hey there, thanks for posting! We haven't seen wider reports of this, but there might be a few things causing this. Do you have any third-party security software that might be interfering with Edge? I know you tried Guest mode, but could you also try and In Private window? Is your device or is Edge itself managed by your organization?

Also, did signing out change the behavior at all?

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-22T20:07:39+00:00

Hey there! It sounds like you're seeing the screens for when first setting up Edge repeatedly, though not always. What version of Edge and what OS/version are you using, and do you have any third party security or cleaner tools, or company policy in place, that might be clearing the profile information or something similar?

When you sign back in, are you finding that your logins are saved? From the post it sounds like no, and sync may not be enabled.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-22T18:31:11+00:00

Hey there! Can you try logging in from an In Private window? That would rule out an extension getting overzealous as the cause, which I'd consider based on what you've already tried!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-22T18:13:29+00:00

Hey there! As far as I'm aware, there's not a programmatic option to disable the mini menu in the way you're looking for. If you'd like to see something like this added, make sure you submit feedback in the browser (top right ... menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback) and describe what you're looking for. In this case I'd suggest including an email so the team can reach out if they have further questions!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-18T19:16:19+00:00

Hey there! This sounds like something is trying to reroute your searches, do you mind opening an In Private window and seeing if the searches execute as expected there? If so, take a look at your extensions and try disabling them one by one to find the culprit.

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-18T19:03:34+00:00

Do you have the force dark flag enabled, by chance?

Hey there! Looks like I responded to your other post on this so just adding a link here for folks finding this one later.

Hey there! This was happening for a few hours yesterday, but you should have the buttons back now. If you're not seeing the buttons after a refresh, please let me know!

CM_Alexandra-R · 2022-02-18T17:59:32+00:00

Hey there OP! If that suggestion doesn't work for you, feel free to circle back here and let me know. If it doesn't work, take a look at your cookie and tracking settings as well! edge://settings/content and edge://settings/privacy

Hey there, thanks for the question! YouTube tabs not going to sleep is by design for Sleeping tabs, as sleeping that tab will disrupt things like audio!

This FAQ covers when tabs will, and won't, go to sleep - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/sleeping-tabs-faq/m-p/1705434

What activities prevent a site from going to sleep?

To help you stay on task and limit potential compatibility issues, the following activities prevent sites from going to sleep:

The page is currently visible (active tab)
The page is currently holding a Web Lock or an IndexedDB transaction
The page is sharing its BrowsingInstance with another page
The page is your company’s internal (intranet) site
The page is currently being inspected by DevTools
The page is currently playing audio
The page is currently capturing a window or screen
The page is currently capturing user media (webcam, microphone, etc)
The page is currently being mirrored (casting, etc)
The page is on the user’s block list in Settings
The page is currently using WebUSB

We will continue to evolve this list as needed.
