OMG - They DO listen! Pin it right on
We always do =D.
Sometimes it just takes a little longer for specific features to be rolled out.
Thank you, Drew and everyone for there feedback to help make improvements like this
happen.
Thanks,

V-FRROME This is a nice improvement and I am glad to have Pin to Taskbar in Edge Canary.
Two observations:
In Edge Legacy, Pin to Taskbar is at the top level (one click below . . .), but in Edge Canary it is the second level (two clicks below . . .). This makes the option much less visible in Canary. My view is that it should be at the top level as it was in Legacy.

Apps & Pins
I also observed some inconsistency in the use of "apps" and "apps and pins". My view is that apps and pins should be separate since they look and feel different. If the decision is to keep them together the "apps and pins" should be used consistently.
Thank you for this improvement and for the continued interaction with the community.
V-FRROME Another observation.
Although the pinned site opens as a normal browser tab instead of a a new "app" window, it appears that an app is still being created. This is indicated by the appearance of the pinned sites in the Recently Added and alphabetical listing of the Start menu. My view is that pinned sites should not appear as apps or be added to the Start list.
My view is that pinned sites should not appear as apps or be added to the Start list.Absolute agree. I also think adding website shortcuts to Taskbar is a wrong user habit that should be discouraged by professional developers like Edge team given large variety of tasks performed by a typical PC.
Desktop Taskbar is for most often used and currently open apps. Adding webpage shortcuts to it causes unneeded clutter. Browser Favs Bar is for most often opened websites. Placing their links anywhere else doesn't provide faster access. Next site also faster to open from a New Tab Dial or Favs Bar then from Start Menu or Taskbar.
Would you share how many websites and for what reason do you have pinned namely to Taskbar? 😉
IMHO the devs should collect telemetry on browser feature usage stats, and actively remove seldom used features, at least from common access places to easy clutter.
- Having been wearing various Insider hats for a LONG time the title was tongue in cheek.
And you're welcome. It's great to help work on this endeavor with the Edge Team towards a common goal.
Cheers,
Drew
