I really miss the SHARE button from Classic Edge
I had been using Edge Beta alongside Classic Edge on my main Windows 10 machine, along with Edge Dev on my MacBook and another Windows 10 laptop that I run Slow Ring Insider builds of Windows 10 on, ...

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.

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 etc

HotCakeX 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.
