Hi,
This is probably still a controlled feature rollout, like I mentioned in my other comment, the release note says nothing about it.

So I got tired of waiting. I uninstalled Edge using the instructions here:
How to Permanently Remove Microsoft Edge From Windows 11 Using Powershell (nerdschalk.com)
I restarted the computer. Then I reinstalled it from a file (v. 91.0.864.53)
And it worked!! I got them!!!
I used it for a while perfectly happy. But then I went to [Options, Help, About Edge] and it began to update (v. 91.0.864.67). After that, it restarted and the buttons were gone again....
