Right-click menu is getting out of control
RANDY ABBOTT I just heard back from the feature owners, and the good news is that it sounds like improving the context menu experience is top-of-mind for them.

Hi,
I agree with you, I think in Edge settings, maybe here: edge://settings/appearance
we should be able to customize the right-click menu items with toggles, just like we can customize Edge toolbar items.
I myself also don't need all of those options, and/or I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts to invoke those features, so I can keep the right-click menu clean.
you see "translate to English" option regardless of the actual content language of the page. they did it because there are websites that incorporate more than 1 language, for example a web page that has German, English, and Chinese languages.
so, they decided (+ user feedback request) to keep that option in the right-click menu permanently, always offering to translate the page into the default language you set in Edge:
edge://settings/languages
if you're using canary I think you should know about Edge sidebar, it's like Edge legacy Bing search, where you don't have to open a new tab for web search and you can do it right on the same page.
has nothing to do with losing data or what you are typing etc. , just for convenience.
