FEEDBACK: "Basic" Modern Browser functionality still missing from Edge...

dftf-wip 

1. Ya, not very many have the middle tab-bar anymore especially as they are all going to Chromium.
I don't know the number currently, but a few have had it in the past, though, likely less as mentioned due to going to Chomium and developers being lazy thinking it's not a priority.

2.  Ya, I know, you can right-click and select option to search, but having gotten used to drag-and-drop it's SOOO much faster and easier.  Dragging and dropping is just so much better.

Sometimes links are in text format, sometimes on the Google Search page you want to select the text of the link or there's a text link in the description.  Everyone might not need this, but I use it all the time.  Like I mentioned, with the Tab opening settings it opens for me every text or link dragged and dropped into a new tab which is either doing a search for that text or if it's a link opening up the page.

Anyway, the link opening is nothing overly "more", it's natural with the drag and drop.

The browser already knows to open links or to do a search with text, it's just a minor functionality improvement that has become massively easy and enjoyable to use over any other browser searching/tab/link opening method.

Also, yes, I DO "click on links"....  LOL  I also use Control and click on links to have them open in a new tab when I'm not ready to leave the page yet.  So, there are multiple reasons why I don't sometimes just "click on links".

3. Sure...  I was just mentioning the forward and back button to ensure if they add the button/feature to open the last closed tab that it also includes it's forward and back history, not "just" the page only.

I've found this highly useful almost every single day.  BTW, I'm a power user, spending most of my day on the internet.  So, dealing with webpage content, tabs, searching, etc. and how all these things function is highly important for me that they be "stream-lined" and work efficiently.

So, basically all of my requests relate to this, making these browser aspects super efficient, so much so that I can't live without them, and other methods, for example righ-clicking highlighted text has become "inefficient" to me.

4. Honestly, I can't stand using the Middle Mouse button, so I would rather have a "setting" which allows me to dictate how Tabs open in whatever situation, and choosing how in that particular situation, such as either clicking, Favorites, etc.  I showed the screenshot of most of the options I would also like to see in Edge.  These are simple and/or functions, so they don't add any overhead to the browser.  They just give us options as consumers how we like things to work.

4a. Yes, that's why I've made this post is so the Edge team can add these features as options cause the browser doesn't do them.  What you've said in the later is correct, I need tabs to open that way, NOT the first way you mentioned that it currently works.  Simple Settings as I've shown will allow us to choose how we want tabs to open like I mentioned.  So, you're saying they don't really pay attention very much to the forums that I need to request them via the Feedback Feature in Edge?  Okay, will do that also then.

5. Sure, I use bookmarks too...  However, the Start screen showing the most visited sites automatically for us is really convenient.  We can also edit it, adding our preferred links, and it continues to automatically add anything most visited otherwise.  I've come to heavily rely on this, that way I'm not simply relying on my Bookmarks only, so saving time there, and it's become a "Bookmark List" also for me, I put my most visited places in the list, YouTube, my Bank, etc.

Anyway, they have it already in the Start page at the bottom, they just need to move it up to the middle and maybe changing the "size" of the links if need be.  But, at the bottom it's blah, and can one even add more "rows", and if they do allow it, do you end up having to scroll?  Forcing us to have all that open space in the middle which can be used is yuck.  Again, this can be a "setting", so if they want to keep it as is they can, just provide a setting for those who want all the Links in the middle with multiple rows and columns.

6. Yes, I know it has "Restore All" already...  I was just mentioning something that I once found useful as a possible improvement I would like to see in the browser.  Not a must, but something I think most people would find useful.  So many reasons this can be useful, like say you had a lot of tabs open previously, this way you choose what you want to open, you aren't forced to open ALL of the tabs again.

So, it's not just for problem webpages, virus pages, etc.  Also, reporting pages after-the-fact isn't really the point here, it's to prevent your computer from getting infected, your browser stuck on a trap page that doesn't allow you to bring up the Task Manager to get it closed, etc.

Also, sometimes when you reopen the browser, depending on how many Tabs you had open, you can't get that problem tab closed fast enough.  So, sometimes this can REALLY be bad for people.

So, having a page/pop-up showing before the browser fully opens listing what pages were last open, and allowing you to "uncheck" those you don't want to open, or to not open any etc. or to just click a couple, etc. can be really useful.  Anyway, it's something I missed when I used to use Maxthon.

Like I said, I'm a power user...  I often have dozens of webpages open, and when I reopen the browser, it's sometimes nice to have a "pre-screen" which allows me to choose what pages I want to open again.  Anyway, I mention this as a nice convenience I would like to see, it

Thanks for your contribution and thoughts....  🙂
