Favorites Bar

Can we get the choice on whether or not we want to show just the icons or labels or both for the favorites bar?   I know I've posted this before, but I'm no longer finding it.  As you can see by the image below it makes the favorites bar very long when you have a lot of links and folders that contain lots of links in them.   

Edge Dev

 

Edge Public



Same exact number of links and folders...  Edge Dev has a drop down on far right to show the rest of the links/folders on the favorite bar where on Edge Public they are all able to be displayed and when you hover pointer over the folder/icon link, it shows the name of the folder/icon link...., nice and neat.    I like the compact version... without label names...

    Dennis5mile Hello everyone, I wanted to inform you that in the version Canary 77.0.190.0 the option to show only the icon in the favorites bar is now available.

      Very good...  This is great, however, this only applies to links on the favorites bar and does not apply to the folders on the favorites bar.

      As you can see here in these 2 pics..

      Icon Link

       

      Icon folders

      Hiding Icon names would be great if it worked for everything in the Favorites bar, like it does in Edge Classic/Public

       

      my 20cents worth

      I agree, Favorites Manager or Bar Editor should allow to mark favorite names as Hidden, so they only show in Tooltips on mouse hover.

    I agree, just waiting for this option in the Dev release to use Edge full-time.
