Please bring "Set Tabs Aside" to New Edge
Set aside tabs is the defining feature of classic edge browser which I use all the time.
New Chromium Edge getting access to all the tabs that I have set aside in the classic edge is not enough.
I will not switch to the new chromium edge willingly because Collections can only be a replacement for set aside tabs IF a feature is added where all current tabs are added to a collection. Right now adding to a collection is only per single tab. The purpose of the set aside tabs feature is to quickly return browser to a clean slate for a different task and later just as quickly return to the previous state by restoring the tabs. Collections doesn't currently handle that.
My biggest worry is that Microsoft will soon prompt users to switch to the chromium edge forcefully and i don't want to loose the set aside tabs feature. Please address my concern ej_6612

Guys innitially i was skeptical about updating my legacy edge browser to the new chromium edge browser out of fear of losing set tabs aside feature. But as i read more about the new collections feature of chromium edge and finally decided to update to the new chromium edge browser after manually taking a backup of all the set aside tabs which i feared could be lost after the update (although it is not required as you'll read further).
After updating i found all my set aside tabs and reading list tabs in the other favorites folder(present at the end) of the favorites tab. Also after using the collections feature i realized that it is designed to be more convenient than the set aside feature on the classic edge.

And no need to worry about not being able to add all current tabs to a collection in one click. With the new Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.478.37 being pushed to all the users "add all tabs to new collection" functionality is incorporated as well.
Happy browsing.
CalcioMilano If you're worried about being forced over, there is a blocker toolkit to prevent it from being installed via windows update. You can find some details here:
