This is a fresh install of Windows 10 Education.  When I opened Edge today to go to a website, I typed 888.com (it will be blocked normally in our content filter, so it prompts to login), but it just did a search for "888.com".  I could even type http://888.com and same result.  I tried this with another site and got the same result.  The I tried neowin.net, and that worked fine.  I saw the icon next to the URL turn into magnifying glass for the searches and and a globe for NEOWIN.

 

My question is why does it do that, and how do I get it to stop?  The desktop version of IE works just fine.

It could be a bug. It used to be that hostnames couldn't start with a number but it was changed at some point.

That's interesting.  I hadn't used Edge much up until today.  Just here and there and it's been a while.  Just haven't installed any browsers yet and trying to evaluate using it for next school year.  Most use Chrome anyway, but I'll keep an eye on it and ask is MS forums.  Thanks for input!

your filter may not understand the edge browser, it may be browser based. 

 

in my barracuda web filter, if using the remote monitoring software I must tell it what executables/browsers to monitor.   Internally it is invisible/pass through to the network so it doesn't matter. 

 

All I am saying is that I do not know how your webfilter works and it is possible that it could be browser based and that it really isn't a browser issue as it is a webfilter issue with edge.

It's using transparent filtering right now.  We have a proxy available, but I don't have GPO set up yet as we're moving to AD from Novell.

 

We do have a login on blocked sites, and my login is allowed everything except porn, basically. 

 

I would think with transparent filtering and my login allowing most everything, I would have an issue, but there could be something there.  I know there was an issue a while back with Edge (and Apple with iOS9) where the splash page wouldn't open properly.

    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat

      By zikalify · Posted

      Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
