Please bring "Set Tabs Aside" to New Edge
As a student, I used the Set Tabs Aside feature all the time. It's one of the reasons I used Edge over Chrome in a Google-heavy school. That habit of setting tabs aside has followed me after school, ...
Set Aside tabs has been "under review" status for few weeks now. I really hope the Edge team confirm that it's coming to the Edge insider browser. it's a unique feature.
meanwhile i have to use this feature which is quite messy but gets the job done
I can see Apple bringing it to Safari and claiming they wanted to make Safari innovative so they decided to bring a new feature, iBrowse. It syncs your tabs via iCloud to all your devices. Park your tabs on your iPad Pro and magically open them on your MacBook. It's a magically and truly unique feature and everyone will clamor over it.
Seriously though, when/if it does actually make the cut and doesn't get canned in planning, they need cross device syncing of this feature. And not slow like Timeline. If they have to spend a little more time to have cross device syncing when launched I'm for it.

- I don't know whether or not Microsoft copyrighted the Set Tabs Aside feature but Apple is being a copycat here. Edge has had this feature for years and I don't think Microsoft will release a stable version of this new Edge insider browser without adding that feature first.
I don't understand the part when you said Timeline is slow. what do you mean exactly?- Some people, not necessarily here, say that's what Timeline and Favorites are for and we don't need Tabs Set Aside. Timeline takes too long to show me on other devices the websites I was on. That's what I meant. If I set tabs aside, I want to be able to pickup another device and continue without waiting more than a minute.
I don't use Timeline but I do use Task View for virtual desktops. Task View was rewritten in 1803 for Timeline support but it ruined Task View. It's slow and buggy. It takes forever to open on middle-range computers, let alone slow ones. The animations are buggy and the layout sucks. It's like how Microsoft rewrote the keyboard in 1709. The touch keyboard still hasn't recovered and neither has task view 😞 task view impacts me quite a lot but I can use a 4 finger swipe on my laptop thankfully.
