  • Thank you for letting us know about this, Keith Davis.  It is my understanding that these menu items should be back very soon.  Thanks - Elliot

    Keith Davis Same here, not on mine either:

    Feature isn't on Chromium either (not sure if it's an exclusive to Edge only or if it's also gone there too):

      Funny how Google is still controlling Microsoft's Edge browser features.
      the change must have come from the chromium update then. there is no way Google and Microsoft coordinate their A/B testing

        HotCakeX Yeah. That is from Edge 78.0.266.0 & Chromium's 78.0.3903.0 which are the most recent builds as of the time of this post. 

         

        Interesting to see what happens in days or weeks to come if the feature is reinstated or not. 

  • Same here.
    some features tend to come and go regularly. i blame the A/B testing. because of that, the features in the Edge browsers are fluid, they can be enabled and disabled remotely. so even though the codes are inside your browser, they are not activated.

      I understand A/B testing, but I have a hard time believing that this is not a bug.

        Don't think it's only about the Microsoft Edge insider.
        Windows 10 insider is the same. they are applying this A/B testing to the whole range of Insider products. some Windows 10 insider features are available in one build for some people and on the next one they will become unavailable for that same people but will become available for another bunch of people.
        they also do it on the regional basis, detecting users' location based on their IP address. it's complicated
