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.
- RobertStewartBrass ContributorDo not listen to any one who agrees with this. PERIOD.
- isaac32767Copper ContributorWhy not QUESTION MARK.

- Please send feedback from your Edge browser and tell developers about this, the more people ask for this, the sooner we will get it.
press Edge's (...) menu button => Help and feedback => Send feedback
(shortcut: Alt + shift + i )
- rjtiwari10Iron ContributorYes, very much needed. Most of the items are just useless for most of the users including Devs also. Dev team should consider this request and implement something that suits all.
- StupaGrevenCopper ContributorThe option to rearrange the context menu should be added too.
Yes, totally agree!
- JimGrishamSteel ContributorI’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.- Spoiler

But I do use these options. OTOH, I have no need for a QR code or a Cast Media option. Other options I do use, but I prefer to use them in the main menu or the toolbar.
There are 16 or so options in my context menu, and I only ever 4 or 5 of them. Very distratcting.
- Malikul_AkbarCopper Contributor2 year ago later, developer not hear us
- heyrooCopper Contributor
no one looked into it
- wuyuxuanCopper ContributorI agree with that.Most people don't need this function.If this can be wipe off, context menu will look more concise.
- win365-userCopper Contributorwhy no reply from official dev ?
its annoying, give us full control to show/hide again ui/ux feature - Deleted
Witam! Obecnie jestem zdecydowanie przeciwny pań sugestii - dla zwykłego użytkownika narzędzia są bezużyteczne, jest prawdą, ale nie widzę potrzeby ich ukrywania - usunięcia - korzyści jakie z tego wynikają? Potrzebuję tych narzędzi, jak wielu użytkowników online do analizy sesji - jego błędy! Dodam zrzut ekranu, z któregoś jest, że są jeden na dole ustawień tabeli i nie rozumiem, dlaczego ci przeszkadza? Krawędź mi się podoba bo ma taki kontekst i działa - Usuńmy rzeczy, które nie działają! Andrzej
I like the development tools me are needed! In Edge

- DeletedIf the additional option - it's OK! Thank you for your broader explanations Andrew
