favorites bar
How do I turn off the favorites bar on a new tab on edge dev preview?I have tried ctrl-shift-B but it still does not turn off.

The Dev build has only the setting on / off. On the latest Canry build there are three options for the favorites bar: Always, Never, and Only on New Tabs. These options will likely show up in the next Dev channel update.

Elliot Kirk Looking forward to the "Never" option for Edge's bookmarks bar. I haven't used bookmarks since Yahoo's web index was the best "search engine." ;-) For years in Chrome I had one or two bookmarks from times I accidentally clicked the star. Every once in a while I bother to delete them and then ugh, that message about importing favorites comes back! Look, message, it's not lack of knowing about importing favorites that causes me to not have bookmarks!
I'd heard Chrome 75 would also have this option to completely hide the bar. Just in time for Edge. :-)
