Hello Insiders!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are excited to announce sidebar search - the first step in our evolution of contextual search in the new Microsoft Edge.
You can find more details about sidebar search in this post - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/introducing-sidebar-search-in-microsoft-edge/m-p/1406242
Thanks!

When Edge Insider (or any web browser, for that matter) is restored down, (windowed, not maximized), it can be resized without having to be refreshed. I don't know if this is universally true; I almost always use Edge in side-by-side mode or maximized.
Sorry i lost the track of that comment you replied to
when it pushes web contents to the left, it breaks the original view, can create problems, can force an already loaded heavy page to need to reload etc." - HotCakeX
I was asking why the sidebar pushing things to the left would actually need to reload the website; a user can resize an entire window without having to reload anything.
I should have mentioned that I am in the A/B testing group that still hasn't gotten Collections, so I don't know what it does to websites when activated. I don't really feel like turning it on; that would somewhat defeat the purpose of A/B testing.

"A sidebar sounds good but not a sidebar like collection's sidebar where it pushes the web contents to the left to make room for itself instead of overlaying the web contents.

Google chrome canary has more user base than Edge canary yet they don't need A/B testing.
Collections can only be activated using the flag
