Reading list
From the old Edge I´m missing most is the Reading list function. I have used that from the beginning and it has been a lifesaver in my work. Please add it to this new Edge as well
It seems to me that Collections are in improved version of the Reading List. It would then, however, be nice to be able to have our Reading List from the legacy Edge easily migrated into Collections. One could also simply create a collection called Reading List in order to separate it from your other Collections.
- One of the things I was using the Reading List for was to triage articles on my phone’s Edge browser to be read later on my desktop. Collections are to complicated a feature to be put on the mobile browser probably, but a mobile reading list could appear as a particular collection on the Desktop.
- Yes. collections are different than reading list in a way that collections only save a link to a content on the web whereas reading list saves the actual content locally for off line reading later, even without internet connection, and it also syncs it between all of your devices.
Reading list is a must have! collections have different use cases.- Yeah that's my only grip with collections is that it does not work offline. This makes it unfeasible as a reading list replacement. Now, if they can make collections work in offline mode then we might have a contender for a reading list replacement but since collections is not exactly designed for that, I think having all your collections offline will not work very well.

This is a comment to the thread rather than any individual. There is a fundamental point here. Now Reading List & Collections are being jointly discussed. This goes back to what is in Edge! It is not nothing more than a display of ones Favorites... it includes ones Reading List!
In other words, in Edge C, right now, we have, an incomplete and Collections.
Maybe just put Collections where Reading List is, now (underlined in red, above); meaning Collects would replace Reading List. <-- Just a thought...
