[@garyhanson4133]

Wow I've been using it, but obviously just as basic. You've given me so many new options on organizing and becoming more efficient. Thanks

[@SMARTproAcademy]

I have doubts with Edge, but now you encouraged me to give it a try ; ), like always, your videos are just great, thanks

[@devsurti4455]

Edge is really epic, ngl.

[@david4everLife]

I've been a big chrome fan for over a decade, with the recent upgrade of my computer and my operating system to windows 10/11, noticing Edge made me curious about if it is indeed better (because the design looked much cleaner and appealing to me), with the recent videos about this browser you sure proved it is superior, at least in my opinion haha. Thanks so much for these useful videos! You're great!

[@iu1191]

What a fantastic video on Edge. MS did a great job moving to chromium, but they've added so much that Edge is really the best out there. It feels fresh, and the additional features work so well. I had no idea there was an edge task manager - Thanks for that - I no longer have to close Edge when a tab hangs - that will save me so much time. Love it. Your videos are amazing and so helpful. This was a very beneficial sub!! Wishing you the best in all you do!! Roll on 3 mill subs!!

[@sandip_bettereveryday]

Only thing I wish if Edge could remember the page number of the PDF file that I opened last time using it. That way we can start reading the PDF file from where we left at.

[@metinhesenov]

It Shouldn't be forced feature but there must be an option to remember my page or etc.

[@dwnthk]

l have the same concern.

[@SoroushTorkian]

Suggest it to Microsoft feedback. I suggested password lock on one note on mobile apps and Microsoft implemented it a year later.

[@timetriad6199]

My favorite feature is the ability to browse the Internet. 👍🏻😎

[@ibizify772]

I had no idea it could do that

[@darius-b]

Thanks for this Top Tip! 😆

[@kimberlykay1495]

#protip

[@uwumeow]

Wow! This changed my entire view about technology

[@devsurti4455]

Thanks, you just changed my mind.

[@bushehrnoshishi]

Thanks to you, I also switched to Edge, in my private as well as my business enviornment. Thank you Leila and Team for constantly putting out awesome and - even more importantly - useful content.

[@uvwxyz030]

As usual a very useful video from you. Thank you Leila for introducing these Edge features. I am sure all of them will come in handy sometime or the other for many people. Would you kindly enlighten me on the following. 1. Comparison between favourites, collections and tab groups 2. Comparative impact of 1.) on the performance of the browser ie. RAM usage 3. What are the downsides of the features introduced in the video that users should be mindful of. Thank you

[@clairezhang7351]

Another Great video! I will be keen to hear more about screenshots annotation.

[@chrisX71787]

Nice video very useful for a fellow EDGE user. My favorite feature is bookmarking web pages and moving them around like a file. Also like the PDF view in browser and highlighting text.

[@Jessa0529]

Love the Collections feature!! Thank you!

[@darreljames2845]

Edge has been my default browser for more than one year and your tips have just enhanced what I will be able to do. I have found Edge a little difficult to navigate in the mobile version, so I hope you come out with video about the using the mobile version of Edge. Keep making us more efficient with your videos - thank you!!

[@zacharymurray2692]

I agree! Edge for iOS seems lacking, but the desktop version is perfect!

[@omarabu-hajar8106]

Thank you for the great tips. I am looking forward a new video for automating Edge using Excel VBA. I miss using my Excel utility I had for filling out forms in Explorer.

[@mariangriffin5197]

I love #1, Organize your ideas with collections. It's like an easy Evernote or OneNote! I love watching your videos. You're so professional and easy to listen to. Keep up the great work!

[@LeilaGharani]

Yay! Thank you!

[@hogne]

Holy diver! The different profiles tip was the most useful. I now have three Edge icons. One for my private sites, one for my day job sites and one for my consultant sites. No longer do I have to jump in and out of Microsoft 365 accounts and HCL Connections accounts. Brilliant! And thank you for showing us the group and vertical tabs functions!

[@LeilaGharani]

Fantastic! I was hoping someone appreciates this as much as I do :)

[@danieladalbokova9699]

Thank you! Very clear!

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear!

[@silversolver7809]

Outstanding, Leila! I've been using Edge as one of my browsers for quite a while, but I just learned 5 new things here, thank you :) I must read up on Profiles, that could be very handy for me. While I knew about Collections, I haven't used them-your demo was very impressive, looks a great feature. To date my favorite aspect of Edge is that it opens some sites my other browsers choke on-of course, long may that continue.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you found something new!

[@sofiejensen3804]

Wow fantastic video. I will start using Collections right away, since it seems a better way to organise favorites etc. than just folder in the favorite bar.

[@iamsba3957]

I started using edge as a regular browser since u recommended in the previous video n im totally loving it...🤗🤗

[@enriqueamar1964]

Wow! By far, you are one of the best presenters I have come across. Very clear and such a great voice. You are very easy to understand. I am making the switch to Edge because of your presentation.

[@lisettgarces7889]

Excellent, thank you

[@carmenlim5450]

Thank you Leila! Because of you Edge is my default browser. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MirArifBillah]

Me too!

[@miltonbrownrigg8409]

Me too!

[@dineshrani6022]

I'm also in the line😂😅

[@prakharsinha5397]

Lmao same

[@gregorytaylor2749]

I discovered Collections accidentally. Thanks for a great tutorial 👍

[@private-nobody6667]

I love your videos, you bring us useful information that can be applied immediately. I am so thankful for this video; about five of the features I actually need to use forthwith. I am still in the process of migrating to Edge full-time, but thanks to you, I use it much more often than previously, and it's great. Keep up the great work. 💓💓💓

[@AdityaYadav-qy4qy]

indian ho betay

[@ChrisTardif_]

Great video! Did anyone else pause the video and go look at that resort in Italy? I miss travel

[@BillAugersdca]

Nicely done - I learned a bunch of new things and will start integrating Edge into my workflow!

[@jrpeet]

Helpful. Collections looks great. Also Task Manager. Great presentation. Thanks

[@arbolitos]

You have such a pleasant teaching style! And your videos are always full of helpful information! What a perfect combination! Thank you!

[@sandeepkumarkonagalla4411]

Thanks for sharing nice features. Have to check the performance.

[@seports8379]

I spent a fair about of time setting up Edge tabs only to find that when you close Edge they all disappear. I was able to "restore pages" and get them back until I eventually lost them all. Too bad MS didn't allow for their persistence! I'll not be using those again. That being said, perhaps I overlooked a setting that I should have set in order to maintain the tabs.....if so, I'd appreciate hearing more about that. However, thank you much for all of your tips and how-to's...I've found them very helpful.

[@RS-wz4ef]

Very well-organized and clear presentation of some important features that I didn't know about and that will be very helpful to me. I gave this video a much-deserved "Like." Thanks!

[@lexlesti1755]

I can't really put down in words how much your videos have been helping me, thanks so much!

[@NarendraPaiG]

Sections, math solver & hyperlink features are my favourite, came to know from your video. Thanks Leila, very useful video. I am now a fan of edge, after seeing your videos

[@mohsinfareed1797]

Great as usual. Thanks . very beneficial and was not kowning about it.

[@miltonbrownrigg8409]

That's it, 1st thing in the morning at work I'm switching to Edge. Screenshot annotation for me! Thanks so much for giving us this video. Humble subscriber xx

[@LeilaGharani]

Happy to help, Milton!

[@romeovelasco4151]

Great video. May I suggest that while using the right click features, Edge should also show a tab showing the complete list of its capabilities to choose from for easy access and not just random clicks on icons around the page...

[@shueybamin5244]

Yet another great video from Leila that has me convinced to stick with edge 😀😀😀

[@BDL090754]

Well I can't remember seeing a tutorial video that is so clear and easy to follow as yours Leila, very well put together and explained, Thank you

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for the kind feedback, Brad!

[@adelejkruger2415]

I must admit, I have only just started using Edge and am already a fan! I am especially thrilled with the built-in Reader Mode function with its very cool options! (And I was hunting high and low for browser add-ons for chrome this week). Well, I will be spending more time with Edge, thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brendaraubenheimer7601]

What great tips! Love the tab groups but I’m most excited about the browser task manager!

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear, Brenda!

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Wow, can't thank you enough Leila! You have given me a real "Edge" in using this latest browser with it's super cool features! Collections and PDF annotation is going to be most useful for me specially! 😊👍

[@LeilaGharani]

These are really great features. Glad you found something useful.

[@hornybushman987]

You are legitimately the ONLY channel I don’t skip ads on 😂😂😂 luv you ❤️😘

[@muhammadumermalik7120]

Nice, Keep it up, Brilliant way of described

[@abinashmohapatra1902]

Falling in love with edge 😍💕

[@borgdylan]

Thanks for the tips. I did not know about some of these.

[@basim313]

I switched to Edge because of your last video "Why I prefer edge to chrome" and post seeing this I'll never go back in fact the features you have highlighted are amazing and so useful. For me, two features will add more to my productivity which are (grouping) & (profiles switching) Also for us as a large enterprise, managing edge updates via WSUS is way better than managing chrome updates... So that made us switch recently to Edge across our enterprise.

[@bulkbundle6819]

thank you. more video pleas. i am addicted watching your videos im key from philippines♥️

[@Therealwahab]

I just discovered your channel today and I have spent the last 3 hours watching your videos. Thank you for the tip and resources provided.

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tom_the_arun_cat]

Great video! Im loving Edge since almost last one year. Had a question regarding the URL pasting from Edge to Outlook/Word. Though it is a neat feature that truncates the url to the page name, have you noticed that the formatting doesn't match the composing style? It always pastes as Calibri. Any workaround so that it matched my composer stationery?

[@orelanic4178]

Thanks for the information, looking at edge in a new light

[@TechWithGreg1]

Great video! I will give Edge a try!

[@prachi517]

Very useful. Thank you so much for this 👌 efforts

[@robofski]

Only recently stumbled across your content but I like it a lot, you got a new subscriber, keep up the great work.

[@LeilaGharani]

Great! Welcome aboard, Dan!

[@s2r2420]

I was a Google Chrme fan. You have changed my perception. From now on I am going to give Edge a try. Thanks for the insightful video

[@hieuovanminh5967]

thank you for the video, I can learn to use it more powerful everyday

[@pravinr197]

Great Video. The app feature you told that is an excellent feature

[@LeilaGharani]

It sure is!

[@chillpill7348]

Beautiful Video.. as usual.. Thanks for sharing

Woah🔥 I love edge too.. but now i know its capabilities.. Thanks so much for making me love edge with brain instead of heart haha.

[@HillCountryPrepper]

Great tips! Thanks

[@marcel.kuechler]

Many thanks for these great tips! There is one thing however that I try to solve for a while now: How to change the web app icon, e.g. when it is pinned to Start? Sometimes Edge doesn‘t select a meaningful icon or uses the same icon for several apps. So, it would really be useful to be able to change the app icon. Many thanks again!

[@cenevspeed]

You are so amazing Mam!! I am using Edge and this will surely help me 🔥👍🏼 Thanks A Lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dexterm7666]

[@myrachanhk]

you mentioned the Tag Groups, i wonder if it's available on reading PDF files? that'd be very helpful to organize the huge amount of reading I do using Edge. thanks!

[@khalidmohamed2569]

Your Videos Are Great. Thank you Leila 🤩

[@chrisphillipps1057]

Thanks, Leila I really like the look of numbers 2 &3. I am now to watch another of your videos. 👍👌😎

As usual learning a lot from you. I liked the math solver, it should be enabled by default.

[@supunjayaweera7127]

Thank you very much. I learned lots of things from your video.

Thank you for teaching...

[@HG-ix7ml]

Been using edge since last year ever since I got my new laptop and I only know some of these features. Thanks a lot Leila!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you found something new, Henry!

[@EclecticVibe]

The annotations feature for pdf and screen capture needs to also have an option to draw basic shapes like straight lines boxes and arrows.

[@cooloox]

Terrific tips, thanks for sharing.

[@vthunder]

Nice video. New subscriber. Been a Mac user for years , but use windows for work. At the rate I’m going watching your videos I may need to reconsider. Would be great to have an all on one tablet pc.

[@MackanderSingh]

Vertical Tab is one the most useful feature, when so many tabs got open, other tabs won't get small icon sized, rather we get nice scrollable list of Tabs 👍

[@MiamiHeat872]

Google is really slacking and Microsoft is getting serious about improving web browsing. I had no idea about this but it's soooo good!

[@theadventuresofembrunguy2825]

Hi Leila. I've just created my first collections page and added this video, along with some of your other videos.

[@LeilaGharani]

Yay, thank you!

[@mdtaylor2274]

My pleasure, Robert!
