josh_bodner Are there any plans on implementing the "hub" button?

I bet I look dumb, right now, sure feel silly having to ask... please, define "Hub button" or show a snip of it.  Thanks.

Cheers,
Drew

    No worries Drew1903 There is the possibility I'm calling it wrong. So in the current Windows 10 version of Microsoft Edge there is a button on the navigation bar that looks like the image below. When I hover over it it says "Hud (Favorites, reading list, books, history and downloads)". How "Hub" works in Edge now is what I would like to see if possible where clicking gives me quick access to Favorites, History and Downloads in one location. Right now they only appear to give the option of having your favorites come up with the button. 

     

    I could be the only one that thinks this but I find the "hub" button to be way more efficient is one of the main reasons I use Edge over the other browsers.

      Just a general comment regarding "hovering" and "mouse over" - fine if you are using a mouse, not so intuitive if you're browsing on a tablet.

      Sorry, don't know your name,

      Ah yes that icon. My apologies, I've been calling it Favorites button; if put cursor to it says "Favorites".  Anyway, it and the other Edge icons & their features & functionality , we are told ARE going to be put in Edge C.  May come piecemeal, but, supposed to all be there by release time.  There's that button plus, Add notes, Share, Set aside & See all.  We are hoping in regard to this that what is being suggested comes to pass & this stuff IS put in Edge C.  

      You are not alone in wanting this stuff to carry over from Edge to Edge C; you are one of many.  We just hope the Team is listening & acting on same.

      Cheers,
      Drew
