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 i am updating my response on 27th May 2020 Wednesday on set aside tabs feature and the fear of loosing it on the new chromium edge,

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:
