Collections UI
- Well in that case Favorites are there to use, if they made Collections simple as Favorites then why even keep 2 identical features..
Well, they would be similar in opening (like dropdown). I don't get the point how could just making it dropdown would change it's functionality. Functionality would be same as it is now (improving gradually). It would be just easy to use as dropdown instead of some sideshow which collapses the original window.
The point is ' I don't care if it comes from up or side , just Original website should not be collapsed everytime I open the collections,'- Spoiler

I personally quite like the sidebar and styling as it currently is but would welcome the ability to reduce the screen real estate it uses. I am using large screens though , so I imagine on a smaller screen / laptop it would become more of an annoyance. Flexibility and configuration options I guess are the key issues here. As it stands you get what you are given and for many people it wont be ideal.

Well no need to imagine because I have a standard 13" Inches Laptop beside my PC and I use it regularly, Edge collections panel never felt too big or too small in it.
also it's not like Collections panel is visible all the time, I only open it when I need to save something there or take something from it. so most of the time it's collapsed. when it's not collapsed and visible, I need the thumbnails to be my guide to know quickly what product, article, video, image, gif etc is saved there, otherwise I would have to open them all in tabs to see the contents which would be the same as favorites.
it will of course come down to people personal preferences as to if they feel it takes up too much space or not, so having the ability to configure it will mean the feature will be suitable for more people.
Same with the thumbnails, it depends on how you use the feature. For me in some of my collections the thumbnails are useless and just take up space. I make sure I know what the items are by editing and naming them in a way that I can quickly identify what each one is. I can also see that in some cases the thumbnail could be useful though , so Im certainly not suggesting that the feature be removed, just the ability to remove thumbnails if you wanted to would be nice ( I would rather have them than not have them at all though)
