Why was web select removed from Microsoft Edge?
This was the major feature distinguishing it from Chrome. It was usually the main argument for switching I used with colleagues and friends.

Hey, you must have mistaken brother. It is not removed. Since Microsoft is launching so many features and keeping it in right click menu, it has to merge something. You will see web select on the top when you click on web capture and then you can use it. Seems like the problem is solved. Have a great day!

Brian256 I am talking about web select, not web capture. Even the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X doesn't work. It was even announced in changelog: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel
Deprecation of Web Select. To improve end user experience, this feature is being deprecated and will no longer be an option under Web Capture or via keyboard shortcut.
- Brian256Sep 27, 2023Brass ContributorIt's working in mine. I am using it.
I think there is some error. I am using it perfectly fine.
Ctrl+Shift+X is working fine.
So is the right click web select(after you click on web capture).
Seems there is some error.
Hope it gets fixed soon.- SamRuebyOct 02, 2023Brass ContributorYou're not up to date. It's removed.
