Nevermind, this feature is now on the "top feedback summary". We don't have to vote for it anymore, as it is already under review. See the list here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Top-feedback-summary-for-September-10/m-p/847266

The feature in that list isn't the same as the taskbar thumbnail preview. The feature mentioned there is the thumbnail preview that's available in the tab bar at the top of the current version of classic/legacy Edge. Classic/legacy Edge also don't have taskbar thumbnail preview. IE has always had it, Chrome used to have taskbar thumbnail preview, and it was recently added back in Firefox. Hopefully this can be added to Edge Chromium!

CurtisBrabham **bleep**, you're right! So there's TWO tab preview features they have to adopt. One on the top (by mouseover on tabs on the top of the Edge window) and one on the bottom (by mouseover on the Edge icon in the taskbar of Windows). I also hope they work on both of them.

    Dennis5mile Yes, for me mouseover in taskbar shows a preview, but only of the last accessed tab and not of all tabs like IE does. What version of Edge and Windows do you use? I have Win10 1903 and DevEdge 78.0.276.2.
