I must say (add) as one reads the comments in here, all saying the same thing, BTW.
"Continue Edge features & functionality" <-- That's the nutshell, Reader's Digest version. Whether Add notes, Share (beside not, buried in the ellipsis), Reading list, a proper group w/ , Set Aside or a complete set of Reading view Tools.
This is stuff that makes Edge special, that draws Users to it. HELLOOoooo. This is stuff people take for granted as "standard equipment" for Edge. This is stuff PEOPLE know (Read: familiar), use AND LIKE! And like it the way it is, ALREADY... as in, leave well enough alone, don't re-invent the wheel. Make the guts better, make the guts the world's best... we'll love it and adopt it... BUT, don't mess with the mechanics. We like how it's laid out and how it works, on the surface, it's quite comfy... go nuts under the covers
At least, tell us the Edge features & functionality WILL be there. There's 2 months to go & we, still, do not see some basic requirements, the MUST HAVEs, the MUST KEEPs. The natives grow restless. Give a light at the end of the tunnel. It's not stuff to discuss. Has to exist as, it does, now. Edge MUST maintain the features & functionality it has, now; Even if, on a better performing Platform.
NB: Having Share w/out Add notes makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. W/out Add notes all one can 'share' from a web page is its URL. One of the Stars of Edge is that built in anything from a page can be, both, shared AND marked-up! That's why their icons sit side-by-side on the Edge Toolbar . Hello, they work together and they work well for people! Unless they are not there, then, the people will rebel.
Cheers,

what Edge team is doing is reevaluating the Edge functionalities. they are trying to get more context. maybe there needs to be changes made to how Edge classic functionalities and features work, so instead of applying them to the new Edge, they could improve on them and add even something new.
- MinasCasiouAug 01, 2020Brass ContributorThat's fine, so long as we still have the old edge and can continue to use the features we've paid many thousands of dollars on devices for!
Very unprofessional service.
Think of the customer!
