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 really want to switch to Edge but the bloated right-click context menu compared to Chrome always turns me away within a day or two. There should be some sort of Advanced set of options that allows users to toggle on/off each item that appears in the default context menu. I personally would remove remove all of these: Thank you

Yes, the context menu would look a lot simpler for people who don't need to use these options.

Yea, that would be useful in cleaning the right click menu & more appealing to the users. That said, devs can enable the option.

As long as they add it as an option, I totally agree!

HotCakeX Yes please remove these items by default!Average users don't know what these buttons do, and if they click them, they'll be calling IT to help because they don't know "what happened to their screen" 🙂 Even for web developers, I think "View frame source" and "Refresh frame" are often redundant, because they always appear in the menu, regardless of whether the page even has a frame. It would be nice if Edge checked this and only showed these options when needed. Firefox already does this. I don't know if there are some technical hurdles making it difficult to adapt the right-click menu based on user settings, but if a static menu is desired, at least placing these options under a sub-heading would be somewhat better.

  It is a complete mess.
  Microsoft for once nailed it and made a really good browser that consume pretty fair amount of resource (not sure how) but failed hard at managing UI.

In my case The Big Context Menu drops from top of my screen to bottom totally. It hurts me.

I use edge really for a long time on windows and even linux pcs. I am really annoyed by the non-customizable bloated right click menu. Please give users at least power users could customize the options, also the preffered visible options.
