I really miss the SHARE button from Classic Edge
Graham-STMC The sharing button is still available in the chromium Edge. You just have to select it in the ∙∙∙ menu. Hopefully, Microsoft will place it back to the old position where it was in Edge legacy.
HotCakeX Thanks for responding. Sharing previously meant one click - of the sharing button - then a tap to open the app I decided to share with (for example Mail, WhatsApp or OneDrive) just as is the case on Edge on Android. Currently this simple feature is missing. Instead it is necessary to save the item I want to share to my OneDrive, then open OneDrive, then click SHARE - or use an alternative app such as Mail and send individual emails. It is so cumbersome.
Regarding languages, why is it even necessary to have to change the language if everything else on Windows 10 is using the UK Language Pack? Classic Edge was working using UK English as part of Windows 10 (as are all other apps on my systems.) I am concerned that non-tech-savvy users will find it extremely confusing when suddenly Edge is showing the word "Favorites" instead of "Favourites" and various other language settings are suddenly wrong after the upgrade.
I would have expected to have to tweak language settings using Dev versions, but was surprised that the supposedly natural migration from classic Edge to stable Chromium Edge did not do this automatically.

- I feel silly now - thank you. Wasn't obvious to me. I hope these observations are picked up before new Edge is automatically migrated with classic.
- Omg wow xD
I was going in depth comparing lots of stuff between old and new Edge, thinking you already knew the Share button was in the main menu haha that's why I skipped that part
but yeah, there are lots of stuff in the main menu, the ellipsis menu. it's Very hard to miss it. there are lots of occasions when users need to refer to that menu. for extensions, for apps, for settings etcHotCakeX I think it is because I use new Edge more on my MacBook than I do on Windows10 - the Share button doesn't exist in the menu there because it is under the extremely old fashioned 'FILE' button that Apple still use so I naturally expected 'SHARE' to be included as a button in the toolbar at the top after upgrading from classic to stable on Windows 10.
I wonder if items from the 'settings and more' menu could be dragged to the toolbar as buttons if desired, or at least something similar to the customisation in Firefox.
