microsoft-edge
So, Windows 10 is out and their new web browser "Edge" doesn't seem like the worst thing in the World, but I can't seem to find the customization I'm used to.
Specifically I would like to hide/remove these buttons:
Any way to do that currently?
Bonus question: While making this question, I noticed that right clicking an image had neither a "show image" option nor a "copy address". How can I find the direct URL of an image in Microsoft Edge?
Edge now exposes experimental flags, including CORS functionality. Try typing edge:\\flags in the address bar, then searching for CORS. Making a change requires restarting the browser.
Faulting module name: edgehtml.dll, version: 11.0.10586.162, time stamp: 0x56cd3d95
Exception code: 0x88985004
The Exception code 0x88985004 means DWRITE_E_FILEACCESS
//
// MessageId: DWRITE_E_FILEACCESS
//
// MessageText:
//
// A font file exists but could not be opened due to access denied, sharing violation, or similar error.
//
#define DWRITE_E_FILEACCESS _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(0x88985004L)
so, you have an issue with fonts (C:\Windows\Fonts).
ok, looking at the dump I see that Edge crashes while trying to load Times New Roman font. So I looked in the Process Monitor log and here I see that the Times New Roman font is not in C:\Windows\fonts, it is located in C:\ProgramData\Samsung\SPenFonts (C:\ProgramData\Samsung\SPenFonts\Times.ttf) and here Edge edge runs into ACCESS DENIED error. Edge has no permission to read the font:

After this error, The Windows Error Reporting (werfault.exe) is launched and creates the error report (and creates the dump).
So look which Samsung software you have installed, that installs fonts to C:\ProgramData. If you figured out which software does this, remove that software from your device because the Times New Roman font is already part of Windows for ages. There is no need to install the font again.

No, there is no way to hide those buttons currently. The best way to request it is via the Windows Feedback app and/or the Microsoft Edge forum on the Windows UserVoice.
The same applies to finding the URL of an image, though in the meantime you could use "Inspect Element" to get the URL out of the dev tools.
