Microsoft Edge's context menu is too spaced out

Hi everyone, 

I just wanna share my frustration with the context menu of Edge which I believe is too spaced out than it should be. As I use Edge as my primary browser it has become annoying to navigate through such a large context menu every time.

I understand that Microsoft is trying to make it's products and services more accessible for touchscreen users but majority of Windows users are from desktop(PC) or laptops that do not have a touch screen.

So, I feel that either they should have an inbuilt feature to automatically determine and just the spacing according to the type of display or they should offer a manual option to switch between compact and spaced out interface like what they are offering in the file explorer of Windows 11.

    Agreed. They should add an option to switch between a "touchscreen" and "condensed" context menu styles, as I tried searching for such an option in Settings and also in edge://flags and haven't found anything like that.
    I prefer Edge over Chrome for its smaller tabs and address bar UI (besides its additional handy features) but these huge context menus are such a turn-off for me.
