Reading list
I miss the Reading List as well. I replaced the functionallity by exportiong the Reading List in the old Edge to an HTML file. I then imported the file into the Preview version, renamed it "Reading List" and then moved it to the Favorites Bar. I now have almost the same thiong as before.
Whisper you said you exported your reading list to an html file. But I do not understand what you meant by that because I cannot get an actual list in text format only icons telling me what items comprise my own list.
so what exactly was the content of the HTML file that you then imported into the Preview version, renamed it "Reading List" and then moved it to the Favorites Bar????
Hi John,
Here is the process in more detail: Open old Edge and 1) click on the three periods in the top right corner, 2) click on settings, 3} Click on "Import or Export" (middle of page), 4) In third section from top, select "Reading List" and click "Export to File", 5) Select a location where you want the file, and then click "Save".
Now open Edge Preview and import the file you just saved following pretty much the same steps and locations above --except now you are importing. Finally, click on the three dots and select Favorites. All your Favorites and Reading List folder will show. Drag the Reading List into the Favorites Bar List area wherever you want it. I put mine right under the Favorites Bar title so the Reading List appears at the far left edge of the screen. The end result is not as "pretty" as in Edge, but they work.
This is an interesting thread. If folks are willing - i'll be curious to hear what are other use cases folks used Edge Reading List for? i can promise to pass on the feedback to the appropriate product owners.
thanks!
amitkun Being into sales, I travel a lot and mobile internet is not that reliable when you board Mumbai Local Trains in India. I use reading list to save articles offline on all synced devices and read them during travel.
This is something which became a habit from Safari / pocket which has excellent sync between devices. But I don't want to load the browser with any more add-ons than extremely necessary. So it would be great if we can have a reading list features in the Chromium version of Edge as well.
Cheers
