Defcon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 There's no file save, no Ctrl-S, no right click 'save as'. Unbelievable that such basic functionality should be omitted, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised ! What's even more amazing is the suggestion on the support forums that if I want to do this I should reopen the site in IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan R. Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's possible the OP wants to preserve links in which case none of these suggestions would suffice. Although, in a world of always-on-internet, it's hardly needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Edge is currently like a lot of Microsoft's new software. A little late, short of features, and in need of work. For the time being I'd just advise using another browser. When it comes to saving web pages, I still find IE and it's ability to save as single MHT files to be the best for the job. +Gary7 and Jim K 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashel Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) You can save via the F12 tools if you just wanted the code but it doesn't do a MHT as noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted May 21, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted May 21, 2016 Save page was useful in the past. I imagine that, in their minds, they are continuing the feature with their highlighting and clipping and sharing things between devices, but this does not account for when you need something and wont be online for a while. That may not seem like a lot of time, but it can be. But I would imagine that copy all and pasting into OneNote might save the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Do we have to go through this whole discussion / debate every single time somebody spots a feature that Edge doesn't yet have? We need to keep in mind that this is a brand new browser developed for a brand new platform (UWP). It is not surprising, and it is quite frankly normal and par for the course that a new 1.0 product will not have feature parity with other more established products at launch. To expect a new entrant to the market to be on par with the competition out of the gate is pretty unrealistic, development time would be years. It's therefore no surprise the developers of this app chose to prioritise some features over others for the launch, and then work on adding more based on demand and feedback. I mean, come one... Do you really think File > Save As on web pages is used all that much? No, me either. norseman, Atlantico and Stoffel 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or instead of CTRL+S, you can just do CTRL+P and save the page to PDF instead. Doesn't that accomplish the same goal, just in a different file format? Granted, some sites are too clever for their own good and present a different layout when printed which doesn't help. This very one for example.

So you are telling me that I should get a new computer so that I can run an inefficient browser? No thanks. I can chose a browser that (A) makes the computer runs hot (B) make the fan runs constantly (C) reduce battery life and (D) use up most of the memory OR I can use a browser that has none of those problems.

I'm saying your heat problems are exposed by chrome, not caused by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
