The meaning of 'optional'

Hi Deleted,

We understand that the needs of our customers fall along a spectrum.  That a hard requirement of one person, will never get used by others, and that optional can mean anything from hidden versus shown all the way to compiled into the binary or not.  We are focusing on the fundamentals as our first priority with the next version of Microsoft Edge, including reliability, security, performance and website compatibility.  We are also beginning to find ways to meaningfully differentiate ourselves from other browsers.  The changes we have made to the user interface to incorporate our Fluent design principles and the new Collections feature are good examples of these.  We are focused on bringing a great browser to the Stable channel, and we will not end there.  We will continue to try to bring useful and differentiated features to Microsoft Edge, without negatively affecting the fundamentals.  We thank you for joining us on this journey, and hope that you notice the changes from day to day and build to build.  The feedback we have received so far, from the in-product send-a-smile, from the conversations in these forums and from other channels such are Twitter and Reddit have already helped us adapt and focus our efforts.  It is humbling to read all of the feedback, and to see how many people care so much for our browser.  Thank you!  We understand that we won't be the perfect fit for all people, but with the feedback from all of you, we hope that we can build a browser that feels better that every other.  Thanks - Elliot
