I made the mistake to update Collections in Edge without researching it first.
I agree with everyone in this thread: This "Start to collect" showing "ideas" is the worst thing I have encountered since I started using Edge. Especially not being able to disable this dumb "feature". These "ideas" are mostly irrelevant and completely unorganized.
This NEEDS to be an option to be turned off - ASAP! Sooooo annoying like ads, which is probably the next stupid idea someone will throw in there. Man, I'm irritated.
I really don't want to use sluggish-riddled with junk in the background-Chrome again or go through the hassle of imparting, customizing Firefox or Brave.

I will need to go through and organize all of my bookmarks/favorites just like in the old days. I will likely utilize OneNote as a replacement for Collections.
For now, I think I will stick with Edge, because it seems to run faster and smoother than Chrome which has just way too much junk running in the background. I use Edge at work and rely on the synching of my favorites and settings there, so naturally I stick to the same environment at home as well.
I just hope Edge will improve and not decline any further. Firefox and Chrome were my go-to browsers before Edge, and I played around with Opera and Brave. Don't really want to waste more time trying them all out.
