Favorites Folder Expansion Persistence Changed
Hey there!
Standardizing the behavior when clicking different spots on the favorites was intentional. It was generally confusing to users to have what they viewed as the same action (clicking a favorite) lead to different outcomes, so this was standardized. Totally understand that you'd like to be able to choose which behavior occurs, though! It sounds like you've already submitted feedback around this, but for anyone coming into this thread later that would like to see a setting for this or other ways to more granularly control the behavior -- make sure you submit feedback in the browser and let us know 😃

While not wanting to distract the team from resolving issues, this information would be helpful to avoid reporting the perceived persistence of a "bug". The email acknowledging Feedback submissions includes the sentence "We'll keep you posted on our progress.". I appreciate it when I do receive an update, but it does not happen often.
There will always design decisions that don't reflect individual ways of working. For my way of working, the behavior of the Favorites keeps getting further and further away from the smooth flyout design of the legacy Edge.
That said, I appreciate the continuing progress. The only other feature change that I really miss is the blocking of auto-playing audio and video. Since this is still on the Planned list, I look forward to seeing the implementation.
- If it's really a feature and not a bug, being able to create folders to "sty/classify" favorites is no longer of any interest since they are all visible now
- It does make my normal ways of working more difficult. I have to manually collapse folders frequently so my list of favorites folders does not turn into a very long scroll list. This is particularly true when I use subfolders, meaning they have to be collapsed as well in order to keep the list manageably short.
So far I have not identified a different approach that allows me to organize my favorites, but avoid lots of clicking to manually collapse expanded folders and sub-folders.Do you think that we will have a "feedback" on the resolution or not of this behavior?
2 months since this was reported and still no feedback
I'm not talking about a bug reported for 1 year and still not corrected
