Microsoft Edge | Building Progressive Web Apps for the sidebar

- Опубликовано: 22 май 2023
- The sidebar in Microsoft Edge enables multi-tasking alongside browser tabs, popularized by the new Bing chat, compose, and image creator experiences. In this talk, we cover best practices for developing Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for the sidebar that can grow your app's reach with minimal effort.

I love microsoft edge,,,If I work for this company
Dude! I love MIcrosoft edge a lot. This is the browser I recommended to more than 20 people and many of them started considering it. I switched to Ubuntu now and I don't find Sidebar for Edge in Linux. I personally feel the sidebar to be so useful. Can we expect that feature in Edge for Linux?
Can you guy pls add an option to move the sidebar to the left please
Everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Their bunch of liars and also forcing everyone to use it against user’s will. No wonder crappy edge market share is decreasing due to its dirty tactics. Edge is nothing but a dying web browser that will disappear in the next decade. Don’t use crappy edge. Just stick with google chrome.
Nice
Thank you 😎
I'm literally 1 minute into the video and I'm still wondering when the first true statement will be made. You're great at making a sales pitch, but videos like this need to be factual.
You can't use a website to replace the need for a native application (that goes for ALL platforms, desktop and mobile).
The term "web app" is misleading. It's not an app. It's a website. And since we already have the favorites bar for those, the sidebar is just a waste of screen real estate.
It's sad to hear Microsoft is committed to promote malware inside the Edge browser. We need functionality that allows users to turn off or block anything with a manifest file.
(And if you insist on promoting this PWA nonsense, at least implement SVGs in the icon file links in the manifest so you only have to link one icon file.)
You may think that, but I have been using it and it is extremely useful. I have a chatgpt icon so I can quickly ask a question (that it can reasonably answer), along with one for google bard and a todo list. Regardless of whether or not it is actually an "app", it is extremely useful for me. It's nice to have a temporary pane that doesn't take the focus away from what I'm on. If I finish one part of a task, I can quickly check it off on the Todo list and don't have to open another tab or a dedicated app for it. I guess what I'm trying to say is the common phrase "don't knock it until you try it". Just give it a try and then check back, it is not the same experience as a favorites bar. It can also be hidden and pop out with the Bing chat icon so it doesn't waste "screen real estate".
I do have to admit, the example use case they gave was not that great. Who wants an Instagram page to pop out, what the sidebar is really useful is for something quick that is related to the page currently open. Instagram is more of a distraction that people would want on a full page because they know they will be spending 10+ minutes on it. Also, who wants a distraction constantly on the side of your browser, it would be impossible to be productive.
