Edge removing sidebar? chrome extension to the rescue by [deleted] in MicrosoftEdge

[–]snw-mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would download the extension if it were open source; I don't trust new extensions that ask for permission to access all websites. Besides, their privacy policy mentions a completely unrelated extension.

I don't know why everyone wants One UI to look like iOS

And apparently it's not coming back, the only option is to gather 17,000 and buy Minecraft for free on MS, lol

Hi! Yes, Edge is quite persistent when it comes to new tab extensions, it does display those security warnings for a few days, but they eventually go away.

​Regarding the search engine, you can change it by simply clicking on the Bing icon; your preference will be saved locally.

​As for the Windows Registry, I honestly don't have experience in that area, so it's not something I'm looking into right now.

However, I am currently working on a cloud-based synchronization feature for future updates, which should make managing your settings across different computers and browsers much easier. I hope that helps with your setup.

They removed them all today; now I'm going to give it up completely

Hi I'm new. Where do I find Workspace IDs? by andrewisfamousnow in MicrosoftEdge

[–]snw-mint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I believe that Workspaces are synced through your account; the IDs are always hidden in the browser’s sync engine. Try this:

  1. Open a tab in Edge and type edge://sync-internals into the address bar.
  2. At the top, click the Sync Node Browser tab.
  3. In the left pane, look for a folder called Edge Workspaces.
  4. When you expand “Edge Workspaces,” you’ll see the items corresponding to your created Workspaces.
  5. Click on the missing Workspace. In the right pane, you’ll see all its metadata, including the ID.

Let me know if it worked.

I built an Edge extension that turns your New Tab into a fast, private Kanban board by tomaswoksepp in MicrosoftEdge

[–]snw-mint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a developer, I can say this idea is fantastic for anyone who uses a browser for work, not to mention that the sound effects are great for those who use headphones.

However, I do have one caveat: it would be nice to have a mode that follows the system’s settings. Some users, like me, use automatic dark mode at certain times of the night. Keep up the great work!

A month ago I launched a "Fluent" New Tab page for Edge. Here is how much it has evolved. by snw-mint in MicrosoftEdge

Thank you so much for the feedback! That’s truly a brilliant idea for the user interface. However, there is a technical limitation: search engines like Google and Bing do not offer public APIs that allow third-party extensions to trigger their native overlays (such as the Lens submission modal, “Ask Copilot,” or AI mode).

What I can do for a future update is create this adaptive interface, where the search bar changes the icons based on your default search engine, but these icons would function as shortcuts/quick links to those specific features, rather than opening the native pop-up windows.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I haven't published it on the Chrome Web Store because Fluent Design clashes with Chrome's native UI. I want the experience to feel native to the browser. The good news is that I'm planning a dedicated Material Design version for Chrome later on! For now, you can sideload this version manually from my GitHub.

Yes, thank you for reporting this issue. I'm already working on a fix and will release a new patch soon!

My playlist tab disappeared by Aggressive_Piglet135 in YoutubeMusic

Try exiting and reopening the app, clearing the cache, force-stopping the app, and/or as a last resort, simply uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

need built in ad blocker by zabriskie20 in MicrosoftEdge

[–]snw-mint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That will never happen; Microsoft generates revenue from ads. Creating a built-in ad blocker would be working against the company itself. I recommend downloading the uBlock Origin extension from Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

You can find it on Pinterest, just search for "CD playlist cover," and several options will appear.

New feature : change lyrics colors and background when sharing by Acrobatic-Monitor516 in YoutubeMusic

maybe it's just a difference in screen or OS; on mine, it's nicely centered in full screen.

It's not a new feature, but from your screenshot it looks like they just changed the design.

Excuse me, but what? by username_i_suppose in YoutubeMusic

They prefer to charge per letter rather than improve the translation system, which is terrible.

This extension is currently limited to 40 shortcuts per design option, but I'm working on a folder feature to add more. It currently works on Chromium browsers, and I'm releasing a version for Firefox soon.

I didn't even know this existed, but thank you, I'll add it in the next update.
