Actually few minutes ago, Edge developers opened up this topic about Sets tabs aside, so it's being paid attention to and sooner or later we will be seeing it in the Edge

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/discussion-set-aside-tabs-and-warn-on-close/m-p/1120668


also i see you mentioned "search tips"
to provide more info about it, on Google chrome the same thing exists and it's called
"Omnibox rich entity suggestions" which is a flag and it Also exists in Edge.
the difference is that it works in Google chrome but activating the flag has no effect in Edge.

you can see more info about it in here:

i created that thread months ago but still there hasn't been any progress made

    Thank you for your reply, well I will also write down in Discussion related to set tab aside and close tabs.

     

    Regarding the search tip, it is different with "Omnibox rich entity suggestions". We have seen this feature in Legacy Microsoft Edge and you will see more details in Cortana, so try search weather in Cortana and you will see what I means.

    When default search engine has been Bing, then it shows search tips like that. So there is a need for deep integrity between Bing, Cortana and Microsoft Edge and this is something Microsoft Edge team need to work on.

      Yes I know what you mean, but they are the same features.
      Microsoft can improve it and make it look like the old Edge

      'Regarding the search tip, it is different with "Omnibox rich entity suggestions". We have seen this feature in Legacy Microsoft Edge and you will see more details in Cortana, so try search weather in Cortana and you will see what I means.'

       

      I wonder if this is another example of just how well Cortana worked across everything in the past, but now the feature has been removed from Launcher in Android, and there is no stand alone app, the use of Edge on PC/Tablet and Android phone is suffering?

       

      Will the Edge Team alone be able to provide the extra search personalisation required cross platform?

        Actually Cortana doing great in Windows 10 and it has all features and improve day by day. I am talking about integrity between Microsoft products and if integration with Cortana is technical difficult, then it could start with integration with Bing , so if you search "Weather" in Bing (make sure region is EN-US) then you will see search tips.
