Still waiting for the auto remove of the download bar and a "open" or "save as" dialog box like Internet Explorer.

the New Downloads UI in about:flags will get rid of the download bar.

and under Options/Downloads set Ask where to save each file before downloading, and it will give an "open" or "save as" dialogue box like Internet Explorer.

Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S. The dialog boxes are there and even use IE's shortcuts. The menu items aren't though, but this is pretty rare commands to spend precious menu space on, and a keyboard is faster anyway.

Edit: Oh, maybe this was about the download manager! Haha.

same here, previous tabs open and visual glitches continue. My bookmarks also went krazy and 2 got duplicated like 20 times in one folder, dunno what's going on here.....

My chrome refuses to start on the new tab homepage, it keeps restoring my lab open tabs on a fresh startup. I have that option off as well. Guess it's a bug in the latest dev version.

    • All good features. But it is not an actual Windows app. I’d rather use the PWA. Meanwhile but versions - Classic and Modern - are full of bugs and inconsistencies. Yuck.
    • Had one user who switched to new Outlook, could not send an email he sends weekly due to file size to large error, works fine in classic Outlook. Issue just today, user received a meeting invite, when she went to add the meeting to the calendar it opened up New Outlook (she has classic open) and we could not add the invite to her calendar, We had her switch to New Outlook, it crashed when we tried to add the invite. Still hot garbage.
