14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced that users who want to send feedback on Edge browser can turn to Twitter to do it, as the company now has its very own hashtag just for this purpose.
Those who’re using Twitter and find it easier to send feedback to the company here can add the hashtag #EdgeBug in their messages, and Microsoft should see them in a second.
Users are also required to attach a demo to help engineers reproduce the bug, so given the fact that a tweet is limited to 140 characters, messages really need to be super descriptive. Without a doubt, if Microsoft needs more information, it will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
“Once the bug is created, you’ll get a reply from @MSEdgeDev with the link to your bug on issues.microsoftedge.com. Note that we do have some automatic rules and manual triage steps to prevent spam and make sure bugs are actionable, so there might be a bit of a delay before you get a link to the bug,” the company explains in a blog post today.
Other feedback submission tools still available
Of course, all the other feedback submission methods are still available, so if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can also use the Send Feedback option in Microsoft Edge and complete the form to send a bug to Microsoft. Additionally, the Platform Issues tracker is still there, but you need to log in with your Microsoft account to submit a report.
Microsoft Edge is the new default browser in Windows 10, and Redmond is working hard to make it better, especially because the Anniversary Update brought so many features that put the browser in line with more popular rivals such as Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks to AU, Microsoft Edge finally has extension support, and since it’s integrated into Windows 10, it comes with full touch support, working smoothly on tablets or 2-in-1 devices when a keyboard is not available.
