UI
Consistency on UI. Add Fluent design effects like shadows and highlight effects. Add History, Download, Favorites button on the top bar like in "old" EDGE. Add History, Download, Favorites on one ...
They didn't remove anything. They're adding features, the new Edge is basically a clean slate.
That's just semantics. You no longer have all the handy drawing and annotation tools that were available to you. It no longer works in tablet mode properly (back button leaves the application). You no longer have useful history and favorites fly outs. You can't easily pin pages to the start menu. It responds badly to non-standard (96) dpi settings. We are heading for the first beta version which means that we are stuck with the awful clumsy UI and a Microsoft application that looks more like Windows XP than Windows 10. It's amazing that it looks more in place on Macs than on Windows.
Now tell me things haven't gone away and aren't coming back. They have even resorted to cheating on screen shots on pages like https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-ca/whats-next in order to make the new Edge look more like the old one.
