Improvements to history in Microsoft Edge
This new "history" in edge is a step backwards. The only reason I'm opening history tab is to find something, and you just made it harder. Previously ctrl+h used to focus on search bar which allowed to type whatever I needed, now I need to specifically click on search icon.
Since old history tab wasn't removed, just hidden few clicks further, could you please give setting for cltr+h to open this old view. I'm sorry, but I absolutely see no added value in this new feature, and at least a few drawbacks (except for mentioned searching another issue is that is just too small.
After download settings changes some time ago this is another change that is adding new features by disrupting existing workflows, and if this is the course you plan on taking with edge I think I'll switch back to chrome.
