  1. Question; How to manage bookmarks on Edge, using only Xbox One & NO syncing. / & page load...


    Is there any way to effectively manage bookmarked internet links, within the Edge app on Xbox One, without syncing to other devices? Over time I have made various bookmarking errors, sites close down, and my Edge bookmark list is cluttered with accidentally created new folders and irrelevant links. It appears the only way to manage bookmarks is through other devices which then sync to the Edge environment within the One.

    The Edge app should be stand alone, self contained functionality on the One system, which for the most part it is. Except for managing specific internet site linked bookmarks. I can not find a way to effectively manage bookmarks on the Edge within One and I never sync for security and privacy reasons so I will not be syncing as a solution to an overly cluttered bookmarked list issue. I never sync devices, I do not use wireless connectivity, I shut down bluetooth, wifi, and sharing on the administrative levels on all my devices for increased data security. I also physically unplug the xbox when not in use.

    So I have to scroll lengthy counts of accidentally created 'new folders' and irrelevant links just to get to my linked pages. And even then, I can't organize, move, delete links, or properly use folder systems. Probably over half of all my bookmarked sites no longer work, are links which I no longer want, or are organization folders made in error.

    Can someone at Microsoft please add a bookmark management function to the Edge on One, something that will work self contained and stand alone, for users like me whom do not sync devices? Preferably something similar to the Firefox bookmark system which is so great and easy to use.

    Also, what gives with all the page loading delays? Edge never used to have so many delays and there is some sort of buffer or latency issue, just always a constant lag for loading internet pages, even if they are simple light pages to load. We wait a minimum of approximately 15 to 30 seconds, sometimes a full minute or longer, for each and every page refresh, redirect to a new internet landing site, regardless if that's through bookmarks or landing via a google search, or typing in a web address directly. No matter where, no matter when, there is always substantial lag in page loads now when using Edge on the One. It never used to behave that way, it used to load substantially faster. I've gone through the available options within Edge and nothing seems to help speed it up. And we'd like an ad block freeware feature, that really should be an available feature by now. Can we have a Firefox app on the One instead? That would be way better.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Question; How to manage bookmarks on Edge, using only Xbox One & NO syncing. / & page load delays

    Hi Company Roland,

    Thanks for reaching out to the forums! We are sorry to hear about the issues you have been having with Edge on your console. The first thing I would like to recommend is that you have the latest version of Edge installed on your console. The newest versions bring a lot of features from the desktop version including vertical tabs and collections. When it come to organizing your links I recommend using the "Collections" feature as this allows you to both group your saved links with a name and also gives you a small preview of the site before you open it.

    Regarding keeping your console and pc Edge apps separate I recommend turning off the "sync" feature as this will allow you to create collections and save links on console and not have them transfer to you other devices. To turn off Edge sync on your console open the Edge app and navigate to Settings/Profile/Sync and change the switch to off.

    bookmarks in the browser

    Log in on your microsoft account on the edge browser on both Windows 10 and Xbox One, and the bookmarks should sync.

    Edit: Having just checked myself, there is no way to actually do that from Windows 10 to Xbox One, but only from Windows 10 to Mobile..

    CRTV wont work on Microsoft edge

    Hello Swim,

    Is Microsoft Edge having trouble with loading the page or loading the videos within the page?

    Is it only this website or is it also others?

    Are there other tabs that could possibly be closed?

    Clarify the information and we'll be right here to answer.

    Best wishes!
