Edge favorites menu
Hey can you guys add the Drop down favorites and hisitory book and downloads reading list menu from the old edge to add it to this one please
- This is great feedback. Are you looking for a way to access your favorites and history withough having to open a new tab?
I got lost in trying to find the responses to my posts, so I guess I'll try to say it again as best I can.
I manage new employee onboarding for a global energy company with North American HQ in Houston. Part of that process includes assigning a laptop with his/her team or project bookmarks already loaded. That means we have to have multiple custom bookmark files to distribute companywide. The previous IE-11 system of using a separate folder in the My Documents folder was how we handle it. But if the NEW Edge is only handling Favorites in the Chrome manner within an internal database, then I fear many hundreds of thousands of employees sitting in many corporations will be frustrated. Having to handle bookmarks ONLY within the browser inhibits the way big companies need to move data. We are simply asking for a folder within the My Documents folder that we can collect, change, manage, and move bookmarks like IE-11 used to. Many of our employees have told us if that is not available then they will continue to use IE-11. We don't want that for security reasons, but we are pushing this to you because that's what employs and managers want. The Chrome system works fine for home users with a small number of bookmarks, but not when you need pre collected bookmarks unique to the various work groups, teams and projects. Thanks for the consideration.

Maybe, not the case, but, I am going to suggest the following. Certainly, I do know of the Favorites folder in My Docs. Possibly, that will, actually, tie to our Edge C Favorites once and when Edge C is, indeed and in fact, an integrated part of the OS; as Edge is, now.

i can confirm there no such folder exists there.
Internet explorer is hidden and not usable, most of its executables are omitted.
that's very unlikely for MSFT to let go the modern database and return to the folder based favorites. if they were planning that they would apply it in the next upcoming Windows build
