Find-on-page sidebar feature disabled on 129.0.2792.52 Stable
Hello, with the latest update to 129.0.2792.52 Stable the Find-on-page sidebar feature got disabled completely. Now there's only the old and very limited pop-up box left for in page searches.
Also all the flags related to find-on-page are gone:
edge://flags/#edge-sidebar-find-on-page
edge://flags/#edge-find-on-page-filters
edge://flags/#edge-related-matches-for-find-on-page
We noticed that this happened on the other channels before (Beta, Dev and Canary) when they switched to version 129.
The Find-on-page sidebar is a stand alone feature for chromium based browsers and we use it a lot for researches. Especially the list of find occurrences is a big enhancement for navigating through long texts.
Can someone from the team please give information if the Find-on-page sidebar got finally deprecated or just temporarily disabled for experimenting and will be available in the future soon?
Thanks in advance!

sstraume97 Neon01 Thanks for reaching out! I just spoke to the team and the sidebar feature was an experiment and at this time the team has decided not to ship the feature. I have passed on your feedback to them!
