Download Icon next to bookmark for EDGE
I wouldn't like it. that area is TOO CROWDED. using Edge Canary, we have the new favorites button there, we have the new Global Media Controls there, we have extension icons there and soon the collections button. i personally don't feel the need to go to the downloads page that often. if a file is downloaded then the download section appears at the bottom of the page with ENOUGH options to deal with it, it's NOT needed to have a fixed button for downloads.
HotCakeX The new Edge needs a way to choose which buttons are in the toolbar. Classic Edge has this (Main menu-->Show in Toolbar menu). There is an option for a downloads button, which users can show or not show, along with other buttons. Msft should bring that same menu option over to the new Edge.

JordanQ, TomazON, Jeffrey Allen HotCakeX Deleted, Thank you for your frank discussion. We are trying to get the right set of features, and especially the right set of defaults. I will bring all of this feedback to the team that owns the downloads experience. Thanks - Elliot

JordanQ, I agree with you, it should have the same option as Classic Edge of showing in toolbar for those who want it to check it.
