Tab preview in taskbar
Am I the only one who misses the overview of all my open Edge-tabs in the taskbar or do I have a special setting enabled which allows me to see only the current tab if I mouse-over the Edge icon in m...
The browser UI and the tabs section is not helping to choose which tabs to switch to? maybe an option to have tab previews will help that.
HotCakeXI work on multiple topics at the same time and open each topic in a separate browser window to keep them organized. I don't always want to return to the last tab I was viewing. With the current setup, if I have 4 browser windows open, each with 4 tabs, I may have to switch to 4 different windows, and look through all the tabs before I find the one I want. With the IE setup, I had up to about 16 tab previews when I hover over the IE icon on the taskbar and could go directly to the one I want. Having the preview made it easier to deal with more open tabs, not harder. And If it's a screen size/resolution thing, then make it an option. that way people with large screens can enable it. (I don't even work on a huge screen, it's just a 15" 1920x1080 in native resolution 100% scale).
I just remembered something,
you can actually do this, hold SHIFT and click on Edge icon on the taskbar, you will get this
- shift no work in my Win10 Pro. Still shows just 1 of # of open windows with each app in taskbar. 😞 That was useful. I miss it. Seems recent update removed that to reduce system performance reductions. Mine did get bit laggy if i had lot of browser windows, document windows, MS 365 Outlook open doing email chk every 15 mins, task manager so i keep eye on when pc cpu busy, when it is i look on screen to see what hogging cpu and mem and disk. Sometimes it's obvious and short lived like Avast doing checks or Outlook chking email, or other not open but checking for updates maybe. Easy to end task stuff i don't want or need running then... maybe it's for the better since pc hasn't got laggy much if at all since this feature was updated out. Not a big deal I guess. Can adjust to it. IT STILL WORKS WITH OTHER APPS LIKE WORDPAD OR MS 365 WORD. I just tested that, once I open enough doc files that fills task bar, taskbar is set to combine windows in same app tab, they join, peek view shows all 5 open. 😉 SO IT'S JUST BROWSER TASK BAR TABS STOPPED FROM SHOWING ,,MU;TI OPEN BROWSER WINDOWS PEEK. JUST THE ONE LAST OPENED. OH WELL, INSTEAD OF PEEK JUST CLIK IT AND THEN THE TAB AT TOP YOU WANT.
HotCakeX Holding Shift and clicking on Edge/Edge Beta gets me a new window. It doesn't display all of my currently open tabs in a preview.

Yes but since you said you don't like to use tabs then you can open each tab/website in a new window to be easier to recognize.
- The goal is to create a good browser to be able to fulfill all the needs of users and if necessary, use extensions to add more features on demand, so using 4 different browsers at the same time is not very common.
so if you use 1 browser and all your tabs be open in there, you can add tabs to separate groups that have their own color and are easily recognizable.HotCakeX The tabs in Edge/Edge beta don't have different colors for me is there an option for that?. And even if they do, I'm color deficient and sometimes the different tab colors in IE aren't that noticeable. Plus allowing the browser to choose the colors doesn't help keep tasks together because opening different searches and results will create different tab colors even if the task is related to the other tasks.

Check in the flags and see if you have Tab Groups, it should be there, i remember when I was using version 79 i could use it
these are the colors
I'm using Windows 10 night light so it should look way brighter on your screen
