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.

- excellent idea, ms should make this happen.
- 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.- Spoiler

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

it will be optional. default won't change.
- The option to rearrange the context menu should be added too.
Yes, totally agree!
- Yes, 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.
He's tired of clicking the reader button while trying to turn a page. It would be nice if they left this menu completely under user control.
- 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 )
- Do not listen to any one who agrees with this. PERIOD.
- Why not QUESTION MARK.
- Totally agree. We need a modular context menu to make it more compact. All options can be enabled by default, but it needs to be customisable and modular to have an optimal size.
- Thanks for the support
Instead of removing them completely, it would be better to collapse them into a "Dev Tools" flyout menu, so that people who need them (Web Developers/IT professionals like me) can easily find these tools. The Edge Team can then include even more tools here, and "normal" users will never see them, or have their menus cluttered.
- Yeah, I agree this is the best solution. It would be the best to collapse all these options into a "Dev Tools" flyout menu.
- Not everyone needs dev tools in right-click menu. most ordinary users won't use it. it better be an option in the Dev tools settings in Edge to enable and then those options can appear in the right-click menu.
- It's not related about what extensions user installs, they are just there by default.
Hi
Such a discussion is very necessary - I believe that the context in Edge is excessively extensive!
It would be best to do 2 versions of the context (simplified) and for advanced!
Already at the beginning of the default should be a switch that helps and provides comfort to the ordinary user, and advanced can easily expand thanks to
switch and then expand the full shimmering contextual Edge by default!
I would suggest such an idea because everyone will have according to their own -
opportunities and tastes!
The switch is a good proposition!
Thank you
