Remove unnecessary items from right-click menu in Edge
Normal users that are not web developers will probably use them less often, so it's be better to have an option to only activate them when we want to, from developer tools.
I’m not a web developer, and those looking for a missing ‘inspect’ option might be annoyed but would be able to figure out where to turn it on.
“View source”, on the other hand, has been in the right-click menu of most (nearly all?) web browsers for nearly a quarter-century.
I won’t bother listing uses for non-developers, but be assured that they exist. I’ve seen people abandon browsers for lack of such an option (I believe the source was hidden under ‘Inspect’ at one time in ... Chrome??).
Older folks may have come to rely on ‘View Source’ being there, and young people may one day become the web developers of the future if they can stumble on raw html by clicking on an option in a menu.

If you must:
Maybe auto-hide it after a time if it hasn’t been used in say, three months. Then, if the right-menu is left open for more than 5 seconds, the remaining options can fade in slowly.

it's not just them, there are other options too, in the end, the right-click menu should be customizable for all the reasons mentioned in this thread.
