Introducing the new favorites experience in Microsoft Edge

Good move. I won't use it, but there have been quite a few requests for this.
Be prepared that people will ask for the docked version to stay over close and reopen. I tested it and it's gone when you close the browser. You have to reenable it with each new window. This is not what the folks that use the docked version want. They want it there as if it was a part of the chrome and not removable. They won't ever close it and won't want the browser to close it for them.
Also be prepared for those that ask for docking on the left side.
And those that want the undocked version appear in the dock area and not as a menu.
Btw, maybe it's my PC, that is a bit slow, but it takes too much time before the menu is usable. After I click the Favorites button it takes about three seconds until the favorites have appeared fully and are usable. First second I get a white menu (very shortly) that gets filled with the dark grey background, then the bright grey slots for the favorites and folders appear all at once (but not in the correct positions, looks like a default) and finally the bright grey placeholders get filled by the tree view and are a bit reshuffled for the "real thing". All in all this behavior is quite awkward and I wouldn't use it that way even if I wanted. In contrast, if I click one of the folders that I have on the favorites bar the menu appears immediately, no matter how long.
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!
