MicrosoftImprovements to history in Microsoft Edge
Today, we’re excited to share two significant updates to history in Microsoft Edge. We know you have all been eagerly awaiting history sync, and we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve started rolling ...
William Devereux Is there any plans to add an option to the settings to allow users to turn off the Internet Explorer style pop out history and just Ctrl+H straight to the chromium history tab? Because that's what people would really like.
I've stumbled upon thread on reddit that shows how to block this new history menu. You need to create shortcut and in target field you can add at the end:
--disable-features=msHistoryHub.
It's not guaranteed to work forever, but for now it's fine on last stable build.
The only issue is that it must be regular shortcut on desktop or sth. If you open Edge from start or have it pinned to taskbar it won't work.
Hope they could add this as a regular setting. Giving back focus to search field is step in good direction but this new menu is still small, and much worse to read and operate than old tab.
