Worth noting that this feature is limited to installed PWAs, so you'd either have to convince the user to install a PWA via the URL bar affordance (which already requires real HTTPS and respects the LOD), or to manually install a site-

I'm not sure where you get the idea that GDPR doesn't apply to operating systems. You can control every facet of your diagnostics in Windows settings, see every bit of data collected about you (both locally and on the cloud), and

Good example! Though, for the record, WebVR 1.1 is shipping in EdgeHTML 15. Fair to call it a preview, since consumer headsets won't be available until later this month with the Fall Creators Update, at which point end-to-end support w

Per the blog post, we're not localized broadly in the preview, but will be adding more locales/languages as we head towards a stable release. Hope you'll try it again!

The version of Edge you're linking to on HTML5Test there is two years and four major versions out of date. Edge 16 is more than 100 points higher on HTML5Test. More generally, there's a lot more to making the web great than a blin

Settings -> Notifications -> "Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows" is the main one. If you want to really dial it in you can also disable notifications for individual apps like Office or Edge on that page. N

Curious if you've tried a Surface Book? I find the touchpad feel and gesture quality to be nearly indistinguishable from a Mac.

This is a bit confusing. Your comments are factually incorrect (there are no forced-full-screen apps in Windows 10, and the default PDF reader is Edge, which is windowed by default and was designed from the ground up for Windows 10, never f

We get great feedback from users who discover the feature and want it to be discoverable without being obtrusive. If you haven't seen the animation, you might be overestimating it - it's extremely subtle and tasteful, just a tiny

We chose the Surface Book because it's instrumented with a chip that allows direct measurement of instantaneous power consumption, which most OEM devices don't have, and because it has lots of battery for a fun run-down video :)

It's a hint to users that reading mode may provide a better experience. When we introduced it, reading mode usage went up; without the (very subtle) animation, users weren't aware when the feature would be useful.

Actually the tests in the post linked from the Edge blog we're on current stable bits; Brandon's post details additional improvements coming soon. In our testing we're considerably more efficient than Opera. Notably, Opera tu
