Cody Arnould I agree that the addition of Start to Collect feeds/ads in Collections now defeats the purpose of having your own collection in the first place! I do not want to surf via Collections and the pushed suggestions are not relevant. Also, you can no longer right-click the Collection to open the menu, it requires you to open the ellipsis menu, select the menu option, and click again. A waste of time.

Microsoft, please allow a setting to disable Start to Collect for those who want the clean interface back again and re-enable the Collection right-click menu. Thanks.

Hurray!
As of today, June 1, 2023, the Start to Collect section has vanished from Edge! Don't know if this just temporary. If not, thanks Microsoft for listening to us.

    One day later and the suggested collections are back! Frustrating! Yesterday, I restarted Edge several times to convince myself that all was ok. Everything was fine. Today, all the colorful images are back. How can they be gone on one day and back the next? At any rate, at least for the time being, I'm switching back to Chrome.
