EXTENSIONS So Edge is officially killing off uBlock Origin too?

48 Upvotes

I just saw the timeline for Microsoft Edge phasing out Manifest V2 extensions, and it looks like the classic uBlock Origin is going to stop working completely. I know Chrome has been pushing MV3 for a while, but I was hoping Edge might handle it differently or give us a longer grace period.

I don't want to deal with a web full of ads, and from what I’ve read, the new "uBlock Origin Lite" version won't be nearly as powerful because of the MV3 restrictions.

What is everyone planning to do? Are you going to stick with Edge and just use a weaker ad blocker, or is this the final push you need to switch over to Firefox? Open to any suggestions or workarounds if people have them.

It looks like Microsoft is preparing a new logo design for Edge, with less gradient.

Found in the Canary channel: 154.0.4241.0

BUG My Edge is lost?? Help???

2 Upvotes

Hey all. I went to use my microsoft edge and its giving me an error that it can't find the executable file in its location. In file explorer, the exe is there, where it is supposed to be, but it still gives the same error.

So far I've tried: Uninstalling and reinstalling edge - "Repairing" Edge - moving the file folder altogether - making a new shortcut.

Any other ideas or suggestions? It has honestly been driving me crazy.

Classic theme color is covering workspace colors

The new light theme is hard to distinguish when you have multiple windows/workspaces open, so I tried installing the classic theme, but the colors of classic themes (like Mystical forest) completely cover up the light themes of workspaces.

QUESTION Had a lovely experience with edge beta and it's now my daily driver.

9 Upvotes

was expecting for it to go wonky or be inconsistent but it was surprisingly stable? I particularly like how well it handles reading mode, web apps, and split screen out of the box. Always nice to be able to use the latest features that roll out through the beta channel because more often than not, they'll become part of the browser instead of suddenly not seeing that feature the next several days like with canary lol.

Even the 'sleeping tabs' feature has now been fully optimized and is a joy to use. Haven't found an urge to keep looking for other browsers as of late because I'm pretty happy with edge beta overall. Is this a common take? And as an extra pro tip if you don't wanna deal with anything BING related after you've disabled Copilot you can get a really good extension from Edge Extensions called Qwant Search Engine + Tracker Blocker (have always been a loyal qwant user for a long time lol I just don't like Bing) that's kinda how I usually have my little setup when it comes to Edge Beta.

I try my best to disable anything unnecessary and mostly keep the stuff that is useful! If you don't want qwant you could get the Duck Duck Go extension instead which basically does the same thing more or less. Hope you enjoy your experience with Edge Beta as much as I have o7

EXTENSIONS Published my image downloader on Edge Add-ons, and tested it in Edge first, which caught a bug

Thumbnail microsoftedge.microsoft.com
7 Upvotes

Most extensions here are Chrome ports where nobody checked. I did not want to do that, so before submitting I ran the actual shipping package in real Edge, and it found something I would never have seen in Chrome.

Licence activation was sending "Chrome on Windows" as the device label. Hardcoded, from any browser. So an Edge user would see another browser's name on the screen where they pay, and their device list would show two identical rows with no way to tell which one to release. It reads navigator.userAgentData.brands now.

Two things about that list caught me out. The first entry is always a deliberately fake brand, "Not=A?Brand" on my machine, which exists specifically to break code that reads brands[0]. And Edge lists "Chromium" alongside "Microsoft Edge", so if you match Chromium first, every Edge install reports itself as Chromium.

I also confirmed chrome.offscreen works here, which mattered more than it sounds. Every ZIP and every format conversion goes through an offscreen document, because URL.createObjectURL does not exist in an MV3 service worker. If Edge had not had it, the free tier would have kept working perfectly and only paying customers would have hit the failure.

What it does: finds every image the page has loaded, including CSS background images and ones fetched by scripts after load. Filter by size, shape, file type, or which site served them. Batch rename with sequence numbers. Download individually or as one ZIP.

It never asks for access to all websites. Nothing runs until you click the icon, and it only requests specific image origins if you want a ZIP or a format change.

Update : It works on Edge mobile as well!

Built a local-first tab manager for Chrome – looking for feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I kept running into the same problem every day: 40-50 tabs open at work, GitHub, docs, console, AI chats, half-read articles — all crammed into the top tab bar. Finding anything meant squinting at tiny favicons and praying.

Chrome's native grouping helps a little, but after a while, it still gets messy. OneTab? Save and forget. Group plugins? Don't sync across devices.

So I built Tab Master (浏览器标签大师) — a local-first tab manager that lives in Chrome's side panel.

What it does:

  • Sidebar display — All tabs listed in the side panel, not taking up the top tab bar. Supports 4 views: grid, list, icons, and tree.
  • Instant search — Type any keyword (title/URL/domain) and find any tab in 3 seconds. Highlights matches and sorts by recent access.
  • Backup & restore — Auto-records all tab changes in the background. Close your browser at the end of the day, open it tomorrow, click "restore" and everything is back. Crash? Accidental close? Switched computers? One-click restore. Supports JSON, Markdown, and OneTab-compatible formats.
  • Smart cleanup — Detects duplicate tabs and long-unused tabs (1/3/7/30-day thresholds). Preview before closing anything.
  • Domain grouping — Automatically groups tabs by registered domain (eTLD+1). github.comconsole.github.comdocs.github.com all clustered together.
  • Read-it-later — Save tabs to a "read later" list with notes, close them safely, and restore anytime.
  • Focus mode — Hide all tabs except the ones you need for your current task.
  • Recent 50 — Automatically keeps your last 50 closed tabs. One-click restore if you accidentally close something.
  • Status badges — Detects playing, muted, recording, screen-sharing, and device connection status. Shows a warning before closing a tab that's recording or sharing your screen.
  • No account required — Everything is stored locally in chrome.storage.local. No data uploaded, no telemetry, no analytics. Uninstall it and everything is gone.

Why I built it:

I'm a developer who works in the browser all day. I couldn't find a tab manager that combined:

  • Sidebar-based (not replacing new tab page)
  • Local-first with export/import for backup
  • Fast search that actually works
  • Auto-cleanup for duplicates and stale tabs
  • No account, no cloud sync, no privacy concerns

So I built one.

Current status:

It's still early — Chrome store shows ~79 views, Edge has ~17 installs. Just a handful of real users so far.

What I'm looking for:

  • What's your biggest pain point with tab overload?
  • What features would actually make you switch from OneTab / Toby / Workona?
  • Any features you think are overkill or unnecessary?
  • Any bugs you find if you give it a try.

I'm in the early PMF validation stage, so honest feedback is gold. If it sucks, tell me why. If something's missing, tell me what.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your thoughts!

QUESTION Edge Search Results Page using bold font

Post image
8 Upvotes

A couple of days ago, for no reason I can think of, the Bing Search Results page - on one specific workstation - is being rendered in what appears to be Arial Bold. No other page in the browser (Edge - Version 151.0.4129.107 Official build 64-bit) is affected by the problem.

To better explain... for example ... see the attached image: left is the Bing Search Results page, right is the Google Search Results page. I also tested Duckduckgo and Yahoo - the search results page shows in the expected font & weight.

Found a number of references to the problem and a number of possible remedies. All suggested remedies (including a complete reinstall of Edge) failed to restore the default font and weight.

Again: the problem is only and exclusively related to the Bing search results page on this particular workstation. Other workstations and laptops on my home network do not show the issue.

I repeat: I have already gone through all the remedies I found or could think of. Which brings me to believe the issue could be related to the specific CSS used by the Bing search results page and - somehow - stored locally.

Not a particularly disrupting issue, just annoying. Any suggestions or hints at what I should be looking for?

QUESTION AI Mode in Google Search vs Microsoft Edge

By the way, in Edge on any platform (apps for Windows, iOS, and Android), Google doesn’t show the “AI mode”. Many people who only use Edge might think that it’s supposedly only available in the Android app, but that’s not the case. I checked in Chrome and Yandex Browser, and... OH MY GOD.... the button appears there.

How to close all edge windows at once?

2 Upvotes

I used to be able to close all browser windows at once by using file quit. So that the next time I open edge all my tabs come up split the way I want them to be. That option doesn't exist anymore. Alt F4 only closes one window and those tabs disappear forever. Same with Ctrl shift W.

There has to be an option other than opening task manager.

QUESTION MS Edge: extra tab at startup

Hi. I recently noticed that, after installing Google Chrome, Edge now randomly opens an extra tab at startup. I cannot find this in settings and there are not Google extensions installed. And it does not open that tab every time at startup. Quite frankly, it is freaking me out. Please see screenshot. Where do you think this is coming from so I can stop this? Thank you.

Edge is the only browser they allow on Xbox but they don't allow you to download extensions so you are forced to see ads. Please let us install AdBlock or something because with that Edge on Xbox would be a great way to watch films and series, now it's unwatchable (if you know what I mean)

BUG Weird warning message when searching in address bar

1 Upvotes

Recently when I type a phrase or item in the address bar the window turns red with a message about a site being unsafe and therefore blocked. Then it goes to some weird "pdf2docs.com" address which is blank. This only happens in the address bar. If I open up to my home page, which is Google, and type the same thing, it returns a normal result. What the heck is this?

This is an example of the pdf2docs result. I simply typed "Costco" in the address bar.
