Sticky pinned sidebars?
I'm against inflating Edge with redundant setting options. Let me explain.
First of all I was against your suggestion. Then I checked the "pinning" panels (or Right Sidebars) and I found they were gone after reload. I changed my look and started to support your intention. But then I started to think.
OK, I can stick Collections and has the panel to appear after reloading.
But I want to change it to Favorites (stupid name, it is still Bookmarks to me, to Edge too, as far as file name is concerning).
So I clicked.
What do I do now, as the sticky option is not implemented yet?
I do click, as well.
D'you see a change in Edge behavior? I do not. So new option will be superfluous. Whatever you want to open, whenever you have something opened or not, you have to click to change/open.
I want the Edge to be slimmed down as much as possible. Let decision makings do users' brains, not Edge settings.

- PeteGomersallSep 17, 2021Iron ContributorI am sorry but I don't agree with your opinion, which is why I clearly made it an optional choice. Having a checkbox\selector or whatever buried in settings in no way bloats Edge. What is a productivity choice for one person may be bloat for another, but that doesn't mean it needs to be denied for everyone. It was a hugely popular feature in both IE and legacy Edge and "in my opinion" should be available to those who choose to turn it on in the new Edge.
- pp_e2Sep 17, 2021Iron ContributorYou think about yourself only. There are 100 000 other people with 100 000 other "checkbox/selector options buried in settings" How long list of "checkbox/selector buried in settings" you're going to be able to accept before you'll explode lost under the tons of "checkbox/selector buried in settings"? The wretched paradigm of our times - "I want it, I must have it" - dominates today social layers, alas. I'm sorry but it wasn't my opinion vs your opinion. It was my view vs your urge (to have).
- PeteGomersallSep 17, 2021Iron ContributorHow can that be so if I urge for an option for all and your view is for nothing; seems to me to be the complete reverse?
