Let's talk about Set Tabs Aside
I do agree that set tabs aside should be brought back. Set tabs aside, tab preview, ink notes, and favorites hub button were on the maybe list as revealed on a slide during BUILD conference, so that means microsoft is considering bringing them back or might not at all if they cannot be convinced it's popular enough to warrant keeping the code in the browser. Out of all those 4, setting tabs aside should be brought back because it was the most useful and something anyone could use. It cleaned up your browser without having to close all your tabs. That's something that should be brought back to give someone a reason to use edge over chrome. I hope microsoft brings it back because it was awesome to use.
I agree, I would like to see Set Aside Tabs brought back, but I would like it to sync between my devices. I would presume this is the reason some people never used it, but adding sync would make it super useful. I'm surprised it's not more popular, but maybe the feature just wasn't not lighted up to a lot of users so many are probably unaware.
For reference, i have 12 tabs open now that I need later but don't want to keep them open or save them to reading list or favs. Set Aside would make a lot of sense here. If cloud sync to MSA or Azure AD was possible them it would make being productive across devices so much easier.
I really hope it comes back, new and improved.
Meanwhile, one can try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko?hl=en ext. from Chrome Store. It auto saves all sessions, and you can open any individual tab from any saved session or all tabs. You can also manually delete unneeded tabs from an auto saved session without opening the session, and save the rest under a new session name or leave as is.
Good news is, now Edge Insider thanks to Chromium should offload old open tabs from RAM without closing, if not viewed for awhile. This is far more important on older PCs with limited RAM. If you still want more, install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en ext. And of course, uBlock Origin ext. is your best friend to keep open tabs less hardware hungry by blocking numerous unwanted page ads.
