Microsoft Edge Version 89.0.739.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) The feature is behind a flag that you need to enable:edge://flags/#edge-ask-before-closing-multiple-tabs Ask Before Closing Multiple TabsTo prevent accidentally closing multiple tabs, the browser can prompt if you want to close all tabs. You can turn this setting on or off in Settings and more (…) > Settings > Appearance > Customize browser. – Mac, Windows, Linux as the flag description says, head over to the edge://settings/appearance and toggle that button

It really doesn't belong to this feature. so what if i have 10 or 25 tabs open, like what does the browser expect me to do by mentioning it?! if I want to close the browser then that's what I want to do, this feature just warns me that there are other tabs open and that's alright.I don't remember exactly but I think Firefox showed number of open tabs before closing multiple tabs and that was pretty useless. a simple tab count number doesn't mean other tabs are important or not, or say anything about the contents of those tabs.1 tab can be more important than 100 other tabs depending on its content.

Well, the feature works like a charm, we have waited so long for this. I don't think we need a visual count of the tabs open on the Edge window, because you may have tabs spread across different virtual desktops or different Edge windows. That's my own opinion.

    Any decent browsers (Like Firefox) tells you how many tabs you are about to close!!!!!
    How am I supposed to know ??? I run dozens of tabs in my work !! And this is actually the only way I know how many tabs I'm running !
    I hope they are adding this in the final release, otherwise the feature will be incomplete and ridiculous.

    They added a Group Policy for this feature just a few weeks ago. Why would they remove the feature entirely right afterwards? 😉
    I can see it in the latest Canary Version (105.0.1327.0) as well.
