Collections is the exact opposite of 'set aside tabs'
Totally agreed. Collections is more like a replacement for the reading list or favorites. It has got nothing in common to Set Aside Tabs.
Set Aside tabs just needed a single click to temporarily store our Tabs when we wanted to start on something new.
Collections: first click multiple times to add the tabs to collection, then click multiple times to close the tabs, then click multiple times for opening tabs - it's totally different and time-consuming.
What the Edge team needs to realise is that people liked the Set Aside tabs feature in Edge legacy because it saved a lot of time. So, while Collections is a great feature in itself, it isn't what can be called a replacement or alternative to Set Aside Tabs.
Both have different use cases and I wish Microsoft would incorporate both of these into the browser..
I also think that Microsoft could simply add a Set Aside button that adds all open tabs to a New Collection and also automatically closes these tabs, if adding the original Set Aside Tabs feature is too much of a burden or something.
I also request popular community members like HotCakeX to reply to this post in order to bring Microsoft's attention to this.
Regarding Collections, you are 50% right, 50%wrong
1.click multiple times to add-- Right click on the tab gives you the option to add all opened tabs to collections
2.close tabs multiple times-- I agree with this(But, you can create a new window and delete the existing window to solve this)
3.click multiple times to open--I partly agree with this, Click on the collections menu which is on the top, then click on the the three dots, open all, that's it.
Any objections? Please comment below
Not convinced? Try this, it works nearly the same(Just two more clicks), https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/tabs-aside/kmnblllmalkiapkfknnlpobmjjdnlhnd- I understand what you say, yet it isn't as smooth as the Set Aside tabs. You need to right click on a tab, and then in the long context menu, you need to find the option to close the tabs or to add them to a collection. Though, I agree, I might have exaggerated the number of clicks required, it still is worse that the Set Aside Tabs with regard to ease of use, time-taken and number of clicks
- What about the extension??
