MicrosoftReading List - Discussion
We wanted to thank everyone again for their feedback around Reading Lists. We have internally acknowledged that Reading List as a feature was not able to meet the needs of our users. While we do have some very passionate users of this feature, the truth is that it wasn’t used much in Legacy Edge. With these things in mind, we have decided to not implement this feature into chromium-based Edge.
For alternatives, we still believe that the ones mentioned in the original post are what will work best for users. Collections have had several new features implemented recently, and we encourage you to give them a try. If you’re curious as to where your Reading Lists went when you updated to new Edge, they should be located in your Favorites under the Other favorites folder listed as Reading List.
While we are not going to bring this feature to new Edge, we are always listening and making choices based on all your feedback. Please continue to send in the feedback about what you would love to see or what you think is missing!
Thanks,
The Microsoft Edge Team
Hi Elliot Kirk
Please make Collections to be available Offline, this way it will be a good replacement for Reading List
All the info and details are in this topic:
developers even commented on that topic but no further follow ups or results have been made so far.
- Offline extensions are a good start. It should also be faster to add to Collections. In Reading List the addition tool was lightning-fast. Also, you should be able to go to a page, like edge://bookmarks, to show all your collections in a page instead of a popup.
Freddie-Zhang The ability to manage Collections in an edge:// page, similar to managing Favourites and History, is a good idea. Have you suggested it to the Edge developers?
