    Jacques Van de Meerssche seems to be the main response to feature requests here... "other software does that", "you can get an extension for that", etc. I'm going to take this that edge just isn't going to be what I need. I liked Edge for the tracking prevention and potential upcoming set aside feature.

     

    I was hoping collections would be more useful, though: search, clipboard access and OneDrive integration, etc. Instead, I was told to use OneNote. I liked the home screen, but wished the speed dial was also more useful (basically visual bookmarks, with search and folders). Instead, I was told to use a NTP extension.

     

    After some looking around, I found a browser that has all of the things I'm looking for: tracking prevention, speed dial, session management (similar to Edge's set aside), and a more useful feature for collecting web content and viewing across devices.

     

    Thanks for hearing my requests at least. Hopefully Edge's utility features improve over time.
