Refresh all option on the tab right click

Elliot Kirk In the original edge and even explorer, there is an option to refresh all your tabs at once. I noticed that none of the other browsers have it, so I was wondering if this feature was moving over or staying behind.

  • Had to use this feature couple of days ago and ended up installing an extension from the store cause didn't want to F5 on each tab manually.

    one of those rare features that must be added

        I use it fairly often, such as when I enter a password for a website that already has tabs open, when the wifi goes out and I need all pages to load again, even when I have multiple tabs open in the Microsoft developing community and I want changes I made to sync. I use this feature at least once a day. I find that the times that I use it the most are when I have multiple tabs that opened at once (such as opening from favorites or the set tabs aside feature) and I only want to make one change such as signing in on one tab and have it applied to all the other tabs. (My school requires you to sign in each time, though its already filled out and you just have to hit the button sign in.) 

        I wouldn't think that it would slow down the browser much, if at all, and it is something that I feel should come default with the browser; and extension takes time to get and is harder to use than the simple right click option.

    For the love of ****.... Why is this STILL not added?
    It was in the old Edge, every other browser I know of has it, what's Microsoft's malfunction?

    Same for "Open all Favorites in New Tab" Setting...
    It's STILL not fully and properly working. Again, what's the malfunction for this simple setting?
