the previous MS EDGE bookmark menu is much more easy to use, you just hover your mouse over and submenu pop up, and the auto scrolling feature is fantastic, can Microsoft consider to keep the o...

I really like the new design, so maybe all they have to do is to make the favorites folder expand on hover.
and also make the pinned/unpinned state remembered.
it's not a worse design, many people asked for favorite sidebar. developers actually put time to make it, why? because We the people asked for it.
so, you might as well tell people to stop sending feedback and ask for stuff.

HotCakeX You can have sidebar with flyout panels. I don't know about how other people like to use favorites but my work kind of depends on quickly getting to different websites which are buried under different folders and subfolders. And for me more clicks for same functionality equals worse design. If some people wanted this then sure give them the feature as an option, why force this down on everyone including those who were perfectly fine with the old one?
- HotCakeXNov 28, 2020MVPThere can't be a button or toggle for every single aspect of UI in settings, it's just absurd.
not everything can be adjustable from the settings. the idea is to make something that suits the most users. that's how Every software is made.
like i said, they just need to make 2 changes to the new favorite design:
1. auto expand folders in favorites list
2. make the pinned/unpinned state persistent
they will speed up navigation.- abc1234Dec 05, 2020Copper Contributor
HotCakeX There could be a toggle and there should be if you are introducing a new design without warning in stable channel. Don't be patronizing and tell me if it is absurd or not, Engineers at MS will decide that. This is a feedback forum not a consensus building forum and this is my feedback that new design is worse because it slows-down my workflow and reduces productivity.

it wasn't supposed to even be in stable. I for one don't have it, I still have the old design.
Version 87.0.664.55 (Official build) (64-bit)
so they are running experiments and I asked them server times on different topics but no one answers.
I know it's not ready and I'm surprised some people are using it in stable channel.
nowhere in the change log says there should be a new favorites experience
