With yesterday's canary build, a new Favourites option is present in the top bar, besides the account flyout. The flyout looks cool, & I have a query on it:Will the hub flyout be as a floating popup over the page, or it would be displayed on the side of Edge window, like it used to be in the old Edge? I have no issues with this, but the previous one looked better, as digging into a favourite in the Folders can mean multiple popups open up.In the side window, the details can be displayed in a neat manner, while also allowing for it to be pinned there. What are your opinion on it? Thanks

Rohit Yadav this feature is in an experimental roll out right now. If we decide that it meets the needs that it is designed for and has not reliability or performance issues, we will roll it out further.

Some of us with limited real estate, like on my 15" HP X360, choose not to display the favorites bar. That gives us a little bit more room to display the actual webpage.. HotCakeX

Rohit Yadav, I cannot comment on that right now. The feature is in an experimental phase, and I don't want to influence the data. - Elliot

HotCakeX Thanks. There are multiple threads, lots of requests for that button behaving exactly as it does in classic Edge.I simply can't understand how hard it could be for MS to put the button there it should be and be done with it.

IMO the button is redundant, the bookmark bar already shows everything. this button sits right above the bookmark bar's arrow where it shows the rest of the bookmarks.to manage all favorites I can use the right side panel.

    Elliot Kirk thanks for such a fast reply... 😄
    
    Would it be expanded to include History, Downloads and Reading list also?

Did you have to do something to get that button visable?

I just installed Canary and I only get the standard profile and send feedback buttons. No Favorites button

  Go to the right-side menu => Favorites => Show favorite button in toolbar.
  
  yes it's called Favorites button, not hub or any other things that other people here claim

    I don't have that setting in current Canary (or my glasses needs serious cleaning)
    
    Canary 78.0.243.0
    
    @Elliot Kirk @V-FRROME Is there a later one that coud be downloaded in any way?.
    After all if I can complain about the button missing in dev - at least I can test it in Canary (just i can get it)

  HotCakeX the hub will not be just to see your bookmarks, it will also show you your Reading list, history and downloads, thus the name "Hub". The development has begun on that I guess and more of those elements should be introduced in future builds.
