Design implementation of the Hub

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 popu...

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)

      matsmcp I guess as Elliot mentioned above, it's an experiment which is only visible for select users right now. I also looked into the flags, there is no flag for it, and no setting as well...

        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.

    HotCakeX I suppose you haven't used the old Microsoft Edge.

    Have you seen the Hub there? There's no dedicated button for the Hub there, but the favourites button would lead to there I suppose if it is developed in the same manner.

    Here's what it looked like in the old Edge:
