How should I use the new version of Edge as my only browser when I still use the reading list feature on my mobile and on my pc. I try to use the new Edge, but I still have to use the normal Edge too.
You guys work hard on this browser but I can't understand why "Option to set a custom photo as the New Tab Page background photo" is more important than a feature like reading list and a way to integrate it in the new Version and the Edge on Android.

Hi, Edge classic is not going anywhere, at least not until all of its special features are shipped to the new Edge browser so you can keep using it along with your Reading Lists, no problem.
Edge insider team are still exploring options as to how to implement the Reading List feature in here.
no one said that NTP background photo is more important or less 🙂
- corydienOct 11, 2019Copper ContributorThanks for your kind message.
The difference is Background photo is "planed for October" and reading list is "under review".
I'm just afraid I have to use a firefox soon for synchronising my stuff.
We all have different needs when use a browser, mine is not a background photo 😄- js123Oct 11, 2019Copper Contributor
Since I have installed Edge Chromium a while ago, I've noticed that when you clear browsing history, it doesn't clear the cache properly. The next time you start Edge, the address bar still contains the urls of the websites that you visited in your previous sessions. Never had that problem with the built-in Edge.
- corydienOct 11, 2019Copper ContributorIf I'm start using the new collection feature on the new Edge it will not sync with edge on my Android because Edge for Android still has the great reading list feature.
Maybe people understand what I mean.- HotCakeXOct 11, 2019MVPSpoiler

Maybe people understand what I mean.Currently Collections syncing is not yet enabled on any of the platforms, but they've confirmed that it's on their to-do list.
Collections are for now an experimental feature that can only be enabled through flags.
Edge browser on Android would need to receive upgrades in order to support Collections.
