Is new Edge dev team completely forget about Tablet mode? Don't roll it out before tablet support!
Yes, they have completely forgotten about touch-screen Windows devices.
I would also like to add:
- zooming in and out by pinching isn't smooth like in Classic Edge (same with touchpad zooming)
- the delete button on autofill, as well as some options in Collections, only shows up on mouse hover (which of course you can't do with your finger)
- tapping and holding to trigger a right click doesn't show the translucent square, so you don't know when a right click has been triggered
- tapping and holding in the toolbar has the opposite problem--it shows the square for too long and it doesn't go away when you lift your finger
- you can't reorder extensions with touch screen
- things like history and downloads are harder to access on tablets because you can no longer pin them to the toolbar like in Classic Edge
If better touch screen support is something really important to you, I recommend switching to Firefox, or just keeping Classic Edge.
martinnn KangHongjia Thank you for the clarification and additional feedback points; my apologies for initially misunderstanding your post. I've redirected this to our Surface team and will let you know if/when I hear back from them.

Program Manager & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeDeleted Many of these features haven't been fixed. The new ShyUI is unusable in Tablet Mode on Windows 10. The touch experience for Edge isn't on par with even with Modern Internet Explorer's touch experience on Window 8.1.
