How to remove the duplicated sidebar search context menu option?
You like to touch Big Issues, I presume. 🙂 ( a joke of course) The one you mentioned is very serious and it concerns aesthetic issues, disgraceful menu inconsistencies, not thought over layouts, and many others. Part of them comes with Chromium from Google Empire, perhaps. No wonder, no one wants to smudge fingers with additional coding jobs or tasks(!).
Those who want to have sort of control over whole menu must turn to Vivaldi.
Let me here prove how Microsoft Edge doesn't pay attention to naming in menu.
I've tried to move a tab to other group. I quickly screened over context menu and was not able to find the option. It took some time when I spotted Add tab to group. For Edge designers Move or Add is not a problem.
I think Edge is programmed part by part by different programmers. I do not believe, I'm too old for such vagaries, that one day they all sit at one table and will be presented with ultimatum to remove the erring practices and to clean up the horrible menu mess.
Also, a lot of people from users side of barricades, had bump up a wall in Vivaldi, in Opera, in Mozilla. Why Edge Ivory Towers might create special cozy enclave for users? Web browsers improvements are, let me say it, unwanted children of their efforts forging bright future. Sort of collateral damage on the road to the Great Functionality in other areas than the petty and pesky inconveniences for few. Like you, like me, and few others.
The example I described. You will find Move tab to a new window, but no Move tab to other group. Apparently someone find unique aptness to the phrase Add, perhaps.
I see that you like organizing your bookmarks as tabs!
Honestly, I would just use a folder, but why not keep them as open tab groups! - The next big feature is to be able to pin tab groups/bookmarks as sticky notes on your desktop.
Speaking for myself, of course, if I accidentally clicked group I wouldn't even be able to undo it:
No hover feedback as well, because who the **bleep** cares about consistency and familiarity!
 
🙂No, Lonely Wanderer the Second. 😉 You've seen only part of my desktop. I've been _always_ using bookmarks, from eon times. Collections feature is for "social" types or for kids drooling over every Edge candy. Redundant IT toy and useless.
About the Tabs groups. I have come here with my old Opera habits. Opera's Workspaces is a Giant Leap over Edge, albeit small step. Those tabs, grouped there on the screenshot, can be hibernated very soon. Look into Settings. Thus I have them handy, the more so I see what I had, I have and could open quickly. All the tabs you was kind to spot on my screenshot were opened firstly from my Bookmarks (I hate the ... name of Favorites. There where ... (female beings) named such colloquially, loitering on French Kings' courts in medieval years.)
What you cannot do, but should or would be allowed to do in Edge, I wrote in other posts of mine.
As far as pinning is concerned, Opera offers to save its Workspaces/tabs in Speed Dial folders. In the light of Opera good sound (nomen omen) features, the Edge looks like a miserable busker scraping the fiddle. Sticky Notes are not necessary here. I'm well protected against any PC disaster, apart from local experiments in vicinity with Plutonium 239.
The hype pages informing world about MS Edge (on their pages) and inviting warmly to take part in developing via feedback are misleading, as it appeared very soon. But Edge is what it is - it's on edge of usability now. I have given it a try longing to see something really useful. I'm slightly disappointed at present, but perhaps the (in)famous feedback will mature soon and it will bring fruits in the end. If not? I'll get over with it.
BTW. Sticky notes all over the monitor(s), desktops, furniture and walls in home as an ultimate solution to the Edge's failures and shortcomings? Why not?! Good idea (well, for whom? You know well...) 🙂 🙂
