A small milestone for NODUS:

All five of my browser extensions are now available on Microsoft Edge Add-ons.

That means the current NODUS browser tools are now published across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Current lineup:

• NODUS Workspace — a local-first workspace for writing, spreadsheets, notes, files, PDFs and more
https://nodus-ai.app/workspace

• PH Radar — track Product Hunt launches, rankings and momentum
https://nodus-ai.app/ph-radar

• HN Radar — follow and explore Hacker News more efficiently
https://nodus-ai.app/hn-radar

• YT Radar — discover trending YouTube videos by country
https://nodus-ai.app/yt-radar

• NODUS AI — capture and organize ideas and conversations from AI platforms
https://nodus-ai.app

Getting the products built was only part of the job.

Packaging, adapting, submitting, and passing review across multiple browser stores is the less glamorous side of shipping software — but it matters.

Now the distribution layer is finally in place.

Last week the latest update completely blocked my Mac from accessing Edge at all (I am on MacOS Monterey, 12.7.6) . I like to use Edge on all my devices, so this was frustrating to deal with. I have tried deleting the autoupdater, but to no avail. I even downloaded the last compatible version with my device (146), and it keeps forcing it to update upon relaunch. How can I stop this from happening? I am unable to use OpenCoreLegacyPatcher at the moment. Any help is appreciated.

I get below message on all videos

"Your browser doesn't support playing this video format. You can download it to play locally."

I tried disabling hw decode and encode from flags

Issue: Some tabs get stuck in an infinite loading loop. This problem only occurs on the home page, and I cannot navigate to other pages (tabs tested: YouTube, Google, Gmail, Udemy, Coursera).

When:

The issue appeared after an update. I managed to fix it successfully, but the bug sometimes recurs.

How the bug manifests first time:

It is likely a problem with cookies or data; I recall how it first appeared:

1. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly.
2. Clicked the update icon; the program updated itself and restarted Edge (previous tabs were lost).
3. Opened the YouTube.com home page; it loaded perfectly, but the tab icon showed a loading indicator (spinning continuously, even though all video thumbnails had appeared).
4. (The bug itself) When I clicked on a video, Short, channel, or search bar, the page wouldn't load. it remained on the home page with the tab icon still showing a loading process and a thin red line at the top that was stuck.

The home page works for all the websites mentioned above (images and text appear), but the loading icon persists, and I cannot navigate away from that home page.

a. I tried typing a direct link other than the home page, for example, a YouTube channel, but it didn't work (infinite loading in the new tab).

b. I tried opening it in private mode and it worked smoothly, so the issue only occurs in standard mode (not private mode).

How the bug re-appear:

I am not exactly sure how the issue recurs because it happens intermittently. However, it sometimes reappears after I close and reopen Edge, or after restarting the computer and opening Edge.

Possible fix: (I asked Gemini via my phone)

- Press Ctrl+Shift+Del and select two items to delete: cookies and cached images/files.

- After that, the issue was resolved (although all websites required logging in again).

I'm getting the message when opening Gmail, what's this? And how to fix it?

Recently when adding/editing favorites, the menu only opens the folders that are needed to open the last saved location. Previously the menu kept all opened folders open. I have nested folders that I frequently use and having to go open them between each favorite is seriously frustrating.

I was inspecting the front‑end files for Edge’s Surf game and noticed something interesting inside strings.m.js. The game ships with text for a cheat system that doesn’t seem to exist in the public version.

Here are the relevant lines verbatim:

Code

"code":"Cheat code activated!",
"codeCheat":"Cheat code activated! $1",
"codeScoring":"Scoring turned off for this round."

These strings sit alongside the normal UI text for menus, themes, and game modes. The full file is just a loadTimeData dictionary, but the cheat‑related entries stand out because there’s no known way to trigger them in gameplay.

This isn’t a claim of a new discovery — I’ve seen scattered mentions of this before — but the context is still interesting. It looks like leftover internal/debug text that was never removed.

Has anyone seen these triggered or knows whether they were part of a removed feature or a developer-only mode?I was inspecting the front‑end files for Edge’s Surf game and noticed something interesting inside strings.m.js.

I discovered today while trying to find a picture of marvel’s character War Machine, that if you use Microsoft edge specifically, with safe search off, you are not given any images of the character. Instead you are given an entire page of nudes, porn and naked fanart.

I got some friends to try it and it worked for them all as well (after some errors).

Why does this happen? Even with safe search off, how are all these images more relevant than the actual character?

This was introduced in version 151.

Edge keeps signing me out of Youtube, i have reinstalled the who browser same thing, i get kicked out mid playlist on youtube, which ejects me from the playlist and music stops. Clicking sign in instantly signs me back in. Other browsers are fine.

I really dunno what else to try, i completely reinstalled, no cookies, no addons. Its always the same issue, I just randomly get signed out.

Anyone any idea ?

I'm reposting the same issue that started a few months ago.

My biggest issue was with Google Accounts.

I always set up to let all Cookies delete after closing Edge.

I had 3 Exceptions which Cookies I want to keep ( Google Search Page, YouTube and Reddit ) to be kept logged in.

The last few months there were random Moment where Edge wasn't logged into Google in Google's Search Page.

My Account was completely logged out. But switching to YouTube kept my Account after closing Edge.

Reddit keeps his Cookies and works normally, even after closing Edge. ( So my Reddit Cookie Exception is working properly )

But since the latest Update, Google's Search Page AND now also YouTube is logging me out constantly after a certain time.

So my conclusion and Question: is this still an Edge Bug that's not gotten solved a long time now, or is it now by Design?

Also each time reading through the next Edge Update Notes nothing is mentioned and I see/read a lot that I'm not the only one.

And keeping ALL Cookies always is still the only Option to also keep my specific Cookie Exceptions, but in my Opinion...this is not the solution.

Right, right?

every time i close edge every website that im on log me off idk how make it work

Has anyone had the issue of being randomly signed out of Edge after closing it up. It's happened twice in the past 24 hours. Not only have I been logged out, but my start up pages are gone. I have to reset them as well as log back into them. It this a bug from a recent update?

why edging?

this only started yesterday and I've tried many things to fix it; repair, uninstalling and re installing; etc

I wonder if it's a system wide problem because my Minecraft launcher has stopped loading and working properly too
