Why not add drag and drop to the new flyout instead of going back to the old design?

I love the new design and the way I see it, adding drag and drop feature will solve your problem.

HotCakeX Sure that's an option as well. But I need drag and drop access during my daily tasks. I'm sure it's not something that they can add over night. I too, love the new layot but it's unfortunately it's not practical for me in it's current state 😞

    I did it but the bar was not showing.
    
    I disable edge at windows start and then it worked like a charm.
    
    I DISLIKE very much the new "download thing"
    
    Is not what I need. I HATE IT.
    
    I don't care if the old bar it's 3000 years old.
    
    For me, if there is not an option to permanently disable this, it will be a "go back to chrome" feature.
