Please don't ship the new Edge out of beta without these features:from most important to less in my opinion1. Set Tabs Aside2. Ask Cortana3. Better Integration With native Windows 10 features (for example: native share dialoge, Acrylic material etc...)4. The Shelf UI for bookmarks, history & downloads etc...5. Add Notes (Inking)

I agree that the current Edge has some very unique Features that are missing now. For me, from the ones Deleted mentioned "Set tabs aside" and "Inking" are the most important ones, but I also want to add the possibility to pin to the start menu or to the task bar. I heavily rely on this and hope we do not have to wait ages like when transitioning from IE to Edge ...

Deleted I personally liked the Reading List and Reading View as well, I'm not seeing the option for those in this version? Maybe I am missing something.

Deleted Set Tabs Aside is my most frequently used Edge feature. That's what keeps me from using other browsers. My 32" screen is shared by two Edge windows, each having their own sets of tabs. I want to be able to set aside my tabs real bad.

Add tab previews, epub, pdf, OneNote features that were built in to UWP. And yes, epub, even without the books store, because it's the only native epub reader windows has and it works way better than anything else in the Microsoft Store.

Deleted I couldn't agree more. I started using Edge as my daily browser as soon as it was released on Windows 10 and even prefer it on iOS to Safari. The main reason I used Edge is because it is a smarter, more well organized browser than Chrome. The current build is just chrome with a new name. I think it will need to be stated over and over again that we still want Edge and not another Chrome. Great start!

It's not Edge if it doesn't have these features!

Oh, and Tab Image Previews. That was a killer feature for Edge on the Desktop

I would like to add Fluent Design Elements such as Acrylic, Native Share, and Hub, as well as Continue To PC, Reading List, Inking, etc.

  Hub function access should be included in Settings menu not as an additional menu to streamline access points. (KISS)
  
  Reading list? Never used. Telemetry will out.

Cortana "is" "should be" done. Explorer search should be used from taskbar search box, or Windows Key > [type]. or Start Menu > [type]. Few liked the Cortana tendency to "butt-in" inappropriately.

Agree with "Tabs Set Aside" feature.

Also, "Inking," "Reading Pane."

Deleted I especially agree with items 1 and 2. Set Tabs Aside was an awesome feature. I also really appreciated Ask Cortana, which was much more elegant than simply "Search Bing for ...."

Frankly I'm not interested in 1, 2 or 5. I really want 3 though. I've been hoping that since Microsoft adopted Chromium for Edge, they'd start cleaning up code and making it more native.

I agree too. Without that resources the new Microsoft's Edge is not the same.

I would like to see the ability to directly open an InPrivate window from the right-click menu of the taskbar icon.

  It's already there at least in Canary builds. Actually most of the basic web browser features are already here in Edge Canary, thanks to being based from Chromium.

    archtech You can't from the taskbar icon right-click menu in Edge Canary. The only ways to open an InPrivate window in Edge Canary is from the ... menu or <ctrl-shift-n>. If I want to go straight into InPrivate mode with first launching a normal mode Edge window, I can't do it today. You can do it with the old Edge and IE.

Deleted For such an early preview, you can't expect more things than the fundementials... As i said multiple times that new features and existing features from the old Edge will come soon, in the incoming days, weeks or months.
