Hello everyone,
I've seen lots of people asking for a flyout menu style for bookmarks just like old Edge and i personally would love that too. so while we're waiting for the Edge developers to make decisions as to whether implement it or not, I've found an extension that gives Edge insider the same ability in a more beautiful way!
you can even position the menu to open on the right or left side! (+1 feature)
also when you hover your mouse close to the right/left edge (depending on your preference), a sidebar will appear allowing you to bring up your favorites menu with a click or touch.
when you install the extension, an icon will appear at the top of the browser in the extension area and you can right-click on it and choose "extension option" to modify it.
i've used it on Edge Canary and works perfectly. as you can see it has lots of more features and room for modification and personalization than the old Edge could ever provide. I hope the Edge team consider these features. but due to the fact that the engine of this browser is based on chromium so you literally have countless possibilities to change and add whatever you like to it.
It's open-source, safe and the code is available on Github for everyone to review.

Good evening @Elliot Kirk
I really do enjoy this Add Bookmark Flyout. I haven't had this installed for to long so I am still trying it out. Very cool IMO. Thank you @HotCakeX
But I like more "stuff" anyways.

I sort of like it.
+ It puts the menu in the right place
+ The open/close animations are good (very edge like)
+ You can change the color of folder (so that we can get our yellow folders back)
Issues it doesn't solve
- the right icon
- the sub menu
Issues it creates
- Another plugin that can break and has to be verified for each upgrade
Could this plugin be merged into the base release, connected to the right favorites icon and the submenu added - then I would be happy.
The current menu is way to chrome-ish

@HotCakeX This is very sexy, thank you for sharing it.
@Elliot Kirk I think the extension does a perfect job, you should definitely try to merge this behaviour for the current favorites button
