HotCakeXThanks for the answer, but these flags doesn't exist in my Edge version: Version 89.0.723.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit).

 

What version do I need?

    It was added to the latest version of Edge canary, yesterday, soon it will come to Dev channel as well (or maybe comes next year)

    so you need to at least be using Edge Version 89.0.734.0

      I tried it out today. It works, but only if I hover over it with the mouse. (I couldn't yet test it with a touch device.)

       

      I still meant the feature, where the preview is always visible as a thumbnail over the tab (in old Edge both was possible, the preview was shown when mouse over, but could also be expanded to be visible always).

       

      Also the feature has like Enable, Enable B and Enable C. I will try out what the difference is. Maybe one of them is the expanded view.

    MartinProhn You're right, I enabled them a few months ago but last week they disappeared.
