Good Afternoon,
If you beta test the Microsoft Edge browser on iOS, I come to you today, with a strict warning.
Whatever you do, DO NOT update to the beta which came out last night. I have it installed because my apps auto-update via TestFlight & now that this very serious issue has occurred, I'm highly considering disabling auto-update of all my TestFlight apps. Furthermore, I have reported this issue to Microsoft as well, but if you open multiple tabs in Edge on iOS, Voiceover does not indicate what they are. All it says is, "draggable." With this new version which was released in beta last night, the bottom of the screen is 100% inaccessible to those of us using Voiceover.
Would you be willing to work with me, on getting these issues resolved once & for all? I'm so glad I put Brave back on my devices because it's going to become my default browser, at least for the foreseeable future.
Sound off in the comments. Have you had this experience or something similar?

Just install the app from the store for now
First off this is part of beta testing. If this app is something you depend on for things just install the one from the store as things like this can happen from time to time.
Replying to Joe
Joe,
I have used the version from the AppStore but it exhibits the issue I outlined, where Voiceover doesn't tell you which tab is which, when you have multiple open. As stated in my post, I've left feedback for Microsoft about this but they haven't done anything about it.
It was broken a while ago too & I wrote them. they fixed it with the next update but then broek it again, with the one after that & have not fixed it since.
Can we all work together to contact Microsoft about this & let them know how it impacts our ability to use our devices productively?
Except maybe in the eu it'sā¦
Except maybe in the eu it's webkit behind anyway. But the sync is nice though I'm just more in the google ecosystem. I didn't even know we could beta test it.
