Description

Feature request details
Higher resolution is needed for the page in Edge DevTools.

Now, the resolution of the page in Edge DevTools is lower than what it is in Edge. For example, if I opened the same .html file, the resolution of the page in Edge DevTools (left) is lower than the page in Edge (right).

For screen resolution of 2560x1440:

For screen resolution of 1920x1080:

Start by reproducing the resolution difference between Edge DevTools and Edge in the extension, then trace the relevant DevTools rendering or viewport integration. Done means the page has comparable resolution in both contexts and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test or reproduction check.
