Hi,
Thank you all for the insightful discussion about your use cases of the Legacy Microsoft Edge's Tab Set Aside feature and confirmation prompt when closing a browser window.

Hello there, just wanted to answer about the "Set Aside Tab" thing that was on Legacy, and wanted to bring it back (hopefully) to new Edge. Well these are some of my answer regards to this questions.
- How many groups of tabs did you have set aside in the Legacy Microsoft Edge?
- Usually when I do my homeworks that require me to open at least more than 20 journals per day. That's only 1 topic of my homeworks though, if I want to search another topic, then it could be more than that with freshly opened another Legacy browser (so I do run many many tabs as I do the Legacy browser too.)
- How long did you typically keep these groups of set aside tabs?
- Well, I'm very well aware that this thing could help me in the future, so I would say more than 6 months! Well some of them I could keep it for a year and It was very very useful cause I just one-click away where I was and here you go!
- Are you aware of or have you used the Recently closed tabs experience which is accessible in the More menu (…) and in the full page History experience (Edge 83 Canary/Dev/Beta)?
- I'm sorry if my words kinda harsh, but if I do know it, I wouldn't comment just like this. The Legacy one, for set-aside-tabs only just One-click-away to use it. So to answer to that question, no I do not know any of that. Just missing the easiness of the Legacy brought to me.
- Do you use the "Continue where you left" setting (edge://settings/onStartup) which automatically restores the tabs from your last active browser window on browser restart? Why or why not?
- Maybe not. The legacy taught me the easiness to use it. So, my primary browser was the Legacy because it's very very useful and efficient (although it's not like the new one because of the speed and fluidity, but I would prefer the Legacy one, because the increased of my productivity of using the Legacy).
- How do your use cases differ amongst Tab Set Aside, Collections, and Recently closed tabs?
- Well, I'm gonna go a bit personal in terms that I use this 3. But, honestly, I do more tend to care the Set Aside Tabs cause it gives me something that I couldn't before like I can't do different browser sessions for each tasks that I'm doing instantaneously. Very very easy to organize the tasks that I want to work and I want to set aside for a moment. Also, then again, One-click-away to access the Set Aside Tabs. For the other 2, I'm sorry that I couldn’t give any comments about that because it's very inefficient to do.
Well, i hope you guys know what i want to say for this. I know you guys doing a tremendous job about this browser and it's impact for all the people who using this browser. This browser has been day-to-day use for me since the windows 10 came out. So, here i am and maybe that's it actually. The only downside of the new Edge (for me, personally) is just there isn't the Set Tab Aside feature though.
