Thank's for the opportunity.
- Set tabs aside is an opportunity for Edge to differentiate itself. I didn't use the feature very much because I didn't use Edge much. Now, with Chromium, it's my default browser. It was one of the features I was hoping was going to be carried over.
- Definitely need to support selecting which tabs to set aside.
- Warn on close: I have to admit I didn't read every other response, but one thing that catches me off guard is when I have multiple browser windows open. I have my settings to continue where I left off, so I close my browser window usually without fear of losing anything... Until I close browser windows "in the wrong order," meaning when I close my "main" browser window with the tabs I wanted to preserve first.
- This also relates to pinned tabs: if the last browser window you close isn't the one where tabs are pinned, they are lost too.
Hopefully this input is useful.

Yes, I definitely relate to that! I've done that on a number of occasions! I think that tabs that have been set aside need to remain in the set aside list, even when brought into the main browser window, to prevent losing them.
